A drop-in replacement for aging commercial systems, the Federal Pacific NEF421060 restores reliable power distribution. This 60A, two-pole molded case circuit breaker provides essential overcurrent protection for industrial facilities. Engineered to fit seamlessly, it installs into legacy FPE NEF and CDP panelboards. For modern alternatives, this unit cross-references with the UBIF260N substitute. Rated 14kAIC at 480VAC, this N-frame breaker utilizes fixed thermal-magnetic trip technology.
Which panelboards are compatible with the Federal Pacific NEF421060 circuit breaker?
This bolt-on N-frame breaker is specifically designed for installation in legacy Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) NEF and CDP series panelboards.
Can the NEF421060 be reverse fed?
Yes, this breaker is reverse feed suitable. Because it lacks specific line and load directional markings, it can be safely back-fed for use as a main breaker or in specialized distribution setups.
Is the Federal Pacific NEF421060 HACR rated?
Yes, this breaker carries an HACR rating, meaning it is certified for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment motor loads.
Does the NEF421060 feature an interchangeable trip unit?
No, this breaker is built with a fixed, non-interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip unit. It provides standard long-time and instantaneous (LI) overcurrent protection.
Are Federal Pacific NEF breakers still being manufactured?
Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) is a legacy brand and original production has ceased. However, exact-fit replacements are available to safely maintain and service existing NEF and CDP panelboards without requiring a complete system retrofit.
Is the NEF421060 suitable for DC power systems?
Yes, alongside its standard 240VAC and 480VAC ratings, this breaker is rated for 250VDC applications, providing a 10kA interrupting capacity for direct current circuits.
How does the NEF421060 install into the panelboard?
This is a bolt-on circuit breaker that fastens directly to the panelboard busbars. This mounting style ensures a secure, reliable connection that is vibration tested for demanding commercial and industrial environments.

Great service & pricing
Superbreakers did a great job for us. We called and asked if the breakers were actually in their possession. Withing 30 minutes they called us back (which is rare these days), and we got our breakers the next morning.
