Built for legacy industrial applications, the 125A Federal Pacific NFJ437125 provides essential long-time and instantaneous trip functions. This N-Frame breaker handles up to 480VAC and 250VDC for three-phase commercial setups. Maintenance teams can mount this unit into standard Federal Pacific panelboards. As a true replacement part, it eliminates the need for complex retrofits when servicing older distribution boards.
Which panelboards accept the Federal Pacific NFJ437125?
This N-Frame breaker is specifically designed as a direct replacement for legacy Federal Pacific distribution panelboards. It is not interchangeable with other brands or frame sizes.
What type of wire can be used with the NFJ437125 lugs?
The included lugs accommodate wire sizes from 4 AWG up to 300 kcmil. Ensure your conductors are properly sized for a 125A circuit and torqued to the manufacturer specifications during installation.
How does the adjustable magnetic trip function work on this breaker?
While the thermal (long-time) overload protection is fixed at 125A, the magnetic (instantaneous) trip can be adjusted. This allows electricians to fine-tune the short-circuit response to prevent nuisance tripping during high inrush currents, such as motor startups.
Can the NFJ437125 be used in DC circuits?
Yes, this breaker is rated for 250VDC applications with a 10kA interrupting capacity, making it suitable for specific industrial DC control panels or legacy battery systems, in addition to standard 480VAC three-phase setups.
Is the Federal Pacific NFJ437125 still in production?
No, Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) is no longer manufacturing new equipment. The NFJ437125 is a legacy component utilized by maintenance teams to service and maintain existing FPE infrastructure without requiring a complete panel retrofit.
Are Federal Pacific N-Frame breakers interchangeable with other FPE frames?
No. The NFJ437125 is an N-Frame breaker and will only fit panel spaces designed for this specific physical footprint and bolt-on bus connection. It cannot be used to replace NEF, NJL, or other FPE frame types.
What does the LI trip function code mean for the NFJ437125?
The LI designation stands for Long-Time and Instantaneous trip functions. The long-time function protects against sustained overloads, while the instantaneous function provides immediate tripping during severe short circuits.
