Product FAQs
6 answers
Which panelboards accept the NEG631050 circuit breaker?
This N-frame breaker is designed specifically for legacy Federal Pacific panelboards and switchboards. It features a bolt-on connection that installs directly into compatible enclosures without requiring aftermarket adapters.
Is the NEG631050 a suitable replacement for older NEF series breakers?
Yes, the NEG631050 serves as a direct drop-in substitute for the legacy NEF431050 circuit breaker, providing an exact hardware fit for existing Federal Pacific gear.
What wire sizes are supported by the lugs on the NEG631050?
The included line and load lugs accept wire gauges ranging from 14 AWG to 1/0 AWG, providing ample capacity for standard 50A conductors.
How does the interrupting capacity of the NEG631050 scale across different voltages?
The breaker provides a maximum interrupting rating of 18kA at 240VAC, which steps down to 14kA when applied to 480VAC or 600VAC systems.
Can the trip settings on the NEG631050 be adjusted in the field?
No, this breaker utilizes a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. Both the long-time overload and instantaneous short-circuit (LI) protection settings are factory-calibrated and non-interchangeable.
Is the NEG631050 suitable for reverse feed applications?
Yes, this breaker is rated for reverse feed installations, allowing it to be back-fed in compatible Federal Pacific panelboards when required by the system design.
