The Federal Pioneer 1C70 is a 2-pole, 70A bolt-on main breaker from the 1C series, rated 120/240V with a 10kA interrupting capacity. It is designed for use as a main breaker in compatible Federal Pioneer Stab-Lok panelboards and loadcentres that accept bolt-on style main breakers in this frame size. As Federal Pioneer panels are a legacy product line, availability of exact-fit replacements can be limited — Northern Breaker Group specialises in sourcing these hard-to-find units. Send us your panel model number and we'll confirm fitment.
Federal Pioneer breakers are no longer in active production, making the 1C70 a legacy/obsolete part. Northern Breaker Group specialises in sourcing hard-to-find and discontinued breakers like this one. Contact us with your requirements and we'll work to locate the right unit for you.
Yes — the 1C70 is specifically rated and configured as a main breaker (bolt-on style), making it suitable for use as the main disconnect in compatible Federal Pioneer Stab-Lok panelboards. Always verify your panel's main breaker slot accepts the 1C series bolt-on frame, and consult a licensed electrician for installation in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC).
The 10kA (10,000 ampere) interrupting capacity is the maximum fault current the breaker can safely interrupt. For most Canadian residential services — particularly those served by a 70A main — 10kA is typically adequate, as available fault current at the panel is generally well within this rating. However, your licensed electrician or utility should confirm the available fault current at your specific service location to ensure compliance with the CEC.
