Facility managers relying on legacy Federal Pacific equipment can utilize this 15-amp, two-pole breaker for essential circuit protection. Designed as an exact fit for NE series panelboards, it eliminates the need for complex retrofits or adapters. The NE223015 utilizes a secure bolt-on connection and delivers an 18kA interrupting capacity at 240VAC. Featuring fixed thermal-magnetic trip elements and reverse feed suitability, it serves as a direct cross for UBINE223015 replacements.
Which panelboards accept the Federal Pacific NE223015 breaker?
This breaker is engineered specifically for legacy Federal Pacific NE series panelboards. It utilizes a bolt-on connection and will not fit in standard FPE Stab-Lok residential load centers.
What wire gauge range is supported by the NE223015 terminals?
The integrated lugs accept wire sizes from 14 AWG up to 2 AWG. Installers must select the appropriate copper or aluminum conductor size for a 15-amp circuit in accordance with current electrical codes.
How does the thermal magnetic trip unit function on this breaker?
The NE223015 features fixed thermal and magnetic elements, designated by the LI trip function code. The thermal component responds to prolonged overloads (Long-Time), while the magnetic component reacts immediately to short circuits (Instantaneous).
Does this breaker require a specific mounting method?
Yes, the NE223015 is a bolt-on breaker. It must be mechanically fastened to the panelboard bus using screws, which ensures a secure, vibration-resistant connection typical in commercial applications.
Can the NE223015 replace existing 15-amp NE frame breakers?
Yes, it is a direct replacement for legacy 15-amp, 2-pole Federal Pacific NE frame breakers. It matches the original physical dimensions and mounting hardware, allowing for a straightforward swap without panel modifications.
Is the NE223015 part of the residential Stab-Lok series?
No, the NE223015 is an NE frame molded case circuit breaker designed for commercial panelboards. It is a completely different design from the residential Stab-Lok breakers that are commonly flagged during inspections.
