The CE3100B is a Federal Pioneer bolt-on, 3-pole breaker from the CE frame series, rated 100A / 600V / 14kA. It is designed to mount in compatible Federal Pioneer Stab-Lok and CE-series panelboards and loadcentres that accept bolt-on style breakers of this frame. As a 3-pole, 600V-rated unit, it is suited to commercial and light-industrial panelboard applications rather than standard residential loadcentres.
Federal Pioneer equipment is largely legacy/discontinued, and correct fitment depends on the specific panel model and buswork. Send us your panel model number and we'll confirm compatibility before you order.
Federal Pioneer breakers, including the CE series, are no longer in active production as the brand has been discontinued. However, Northern Breaker Group specializes in obsolete and hard-to-find breakers — we maintain stock of legacy Federal Pioneer units like the CE3100B. Contact us for current availability and we'll source one for you.
The CE3100B is a bolt-on branch/feeder breaker and may serve as a main disconnect in certain Federal Pioneer panelboards designed to accept a CE-frame main — but this depends entirely on your specific panel's configuration and buswork rating. We recommend confirming your panel model with us before using it in a main breaker position.
The 14kA interrupting rating must meet or exceed the available fault current (AFC) at the point of installation, as required by the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC). For many commercial distribution panels, you'll need a short-circuit study or utility data to verify AFC. If your fault current exceeds 14kA, a higher-rated breaker will be required. Our team can help you assess your options — reach out with your panel specs.
