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 after the series letters. Federal Pacific put the voltage class, the pole count and the amperage into the catalog number on this line: NE223040 parses as 240 volts, 2 poles, 40 amperes. The digit that matters most is the pole count, because a 2-pole and a 3-pole at the same rating are different catalog numbers that look nearly identical — NE223020 and NE231020 differ by one character and by a phase.

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.

More Details

The commercial Federal Pacific frames are a different problem from the residential Stab-Lok ratings. Connecticut Electric makes new replacements for the household breakers; for the NB and NE frames nobody does. That leaves an original unit as the only option when an FPE panelboard needs a position filled, and it makes testing the whole question. ESP inspects and tests each one to ESP Product Standards and confirms it trips before it ships. 40 amperes, 2 poles, 240V. The pole count sits in the catalog number rather than on the front of the case, so read the digits rather than the amperage. One-year operational guarantee.

What is "surplus new"?

Surplus new means the item has never been installed or put into service. It may not arrive in its original packaging, but it has never been used.

What does "reconditioned" mean?

Reconditioned items have been inspected, cleaned, and tested to confirm they operate to the manufacturer's original specifications. Every reconditioned item we sell carries a one-year operational guarantee.

How fast will my order ship?

In-stock orders placed before 12pm PST usually ship the same business day via UPS, with tracking provided.
