Product FAQs

8 answers
Which panelboards accept the NE224090 circuit breaker?

This N-Frame breaker is engineered specifically for legacy Federal Pacific NE panelboards. It utilizes a bolt-on mounting configuration to secure directly to the panelboard bus.

Is the NE224090 compatible with Federal Pacific Stab-Lok residential load centers?

No. The NE224090 is a commercial molded case circuit breaker with a bolt-on connection. It will not fit residential Stab-Lok load centers, which require plug-on Stab-Lok style breakers.

What wire gauge range is supported by the lugs on the NE224090?

The factory-installed load side lugs accept wire sizes ranging from 14 AWG to 2 AWG. Ensure all connections are torqued to the manufacturer specifications based on the wire material used.

Are aftermarket mounting adapters required to install the NE224090?

No. When installed in a compatible Federal Pacific NE panelboard, the breaker bolts directly to the busbar without requiring modification kits or adapters.

What type of trip unit is installed in the NE224090?

This breaker features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. It provides non-adjustable long-time (thermal) protection for overloads and instantaneous (magnetic) protection for short circuits.

Can the NE224090 be used in DC power applications?

Yes. In addition to its 240V AC rating, this breaker is rated for 250V DC applications, where it provides a maximum interrupting capacity of 10 kAIC.

Does the NE224090 feature an interchangeable trip unit?

No. The NE224090 is constructed with a fixed, non-interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip unit. If a different amperage rating is required, the entire circuit breaker must be replaced.

Is the Federal Pacific NE224090 still in active production by the original manufacturer?

No. Federal Pacific Electric is defunct, making original NE frame breakers legacy components. Maintaining existing NE panelboards requires sourcing exact-match legacy stock or certified aftermarket replacements to avoid complete panelboard retrofits.
