Federal Pacific NB80 80A 2P 240V Molded Case Breaker

Federal Pacific NB80 Specifications

This unit is sold reconditioned, inspected and tested to ESP Product Standards, and guaranteed to operate normally for one year from the date of sale.

Original manufacture, individually tested. This is an original Federal Pacific breaker — the part the panel was built around — inspected and tested to ESP Product Standards, individually tested to confirm it trips before it ships, and backed by a one-year operational guarantee. Third-party replacements exist for the residential Stab-Lok ratings, but the commercial NB and NE frames have no new-manufacture equivalent: an original is the only option, and a tested one is the only sensible one.

Read the digits, not the amperage in the title. Federal Pacific put the voltage class, the pole count and the rating into the catalog number: NB80 parses as 240 volts, 2 poles, 80 amperes. On this line a two-pole and a three-pole at the same rating are different catalog numbers that look nearly identical, and the middle digits are the only thing that separates them.

Federal Pacific NB and NE frames are out of production with no modern drop-in equivalent. Unlike the residential Stab-Lok ratings, no third party manufactures a compatible replacement for these. ESP stocks tested original units for FPE and American panelboards and switchboards still in service.
