The CE3040B – Federal Pioneer 3P40A 600V 14kA Breaker is a heavy-duty circuit breaker designed for reliable performance in demanding applications. With three poles and a 40A capacity, it ensures robust protection against overloads and short circuits. Ideal for industrial and commercial use, it guarantees safety and peace of mind.
Federal Pioneer CE-series breakers are no longer in active production, making them a hard-to-find, obsolete part. Northern Breaker Group specializes in exactly this type of product — we maintain stock of legacy Federal Pioneer breakers and can source the CE3040B for replacement applications.

Yes — provided your panelboard is a Federal Pioneer CE-series bolt-on panel rated for 600V three-phase operation, the CE3040B is the correct replacement breaker. Always verify the bus rating, interrupt capacity, and bolt-on bus compatibility of your specific panel before installation. If you're unsure, send us your panel model and we'll help confirm.
The 14kA interrupting rating (AIC — Ampere Interrupting Capacity) means the CE3040B can safely clear a fault of up to 14,000 amperes without damage or hazard. For most commercial and light-industrial Canadian installations this is adequate, but you should verify the available fault current at your panel's bus against this rating. A licensed electrician or engineer can perform or obtain an arc-flash/fault-current study to confirm compliance with the Canadian Electrical Code.
