Product FAQs
6 answersWhich panelboards accept the NE234030 circuit breaker?
This breaker is engineered specifically for legacy Federal Pacific NE and NBLP series panelboards. Its bolt-on mounting style ensures a secure connection to the busbar in these commercial enclosures.
Can the NE234030 be installed in DC electrical systems?
Yes. While primarily used in 240VAC applications with an 18kAIC rating, this breaker is also rated for 250VDC systems, where it provides a 5kA interrupting capacity.
What wire gauge range do the NE234030 lugs accept?
The integrated terminal lugs accommodate conductors from 14 AWG to 2 AWG. Installers must ensure the wire is properly sized for the 30A continuous current rating and torqued to specification.
What type of protection does the LI trip function provide?
The LI designation indicates a thermal-magnetic trip unit with Long-Time and Instantaneous functions. The fixed thermal element protects against sustained overloads, while the fixed magnetic element trips immediately during a short circuit.
Is the NE234030 interchangeable with Federal Pacific Stab-Lok breakers?
No. The NE234030 is a commercial N-Frame molded case circuit breaker with a secure bolt-on connection. It is not compatible with residential Stab-Lok load centers.
What frame size does the NE234030 belong to?
It is part of the Federal Pacific N-Frame family. This specific model is an NE frame, which dictates its physical dimensions and mounting compatibility within FPE enclosures.
