The Federal Pioneer NB30 is a bolt-on breaker from the NB series, designed to fit Federal Pioneer Stab-Lok panelboards and loadcentres that accept bolt-on style breakers. As a 1-pole, 30A, 120/240V unit with a 10kA interrupting rating, it is suited for branch-circuit protection in both residential and light commercial Federal Pioneer panels of the appropriate vintage.
Bolt-on and plug-in breakers are not interchangeable — always verify your panel accepts the bolt-on NB series before ordering. Send us your panel model number and we'll confirm fitment.
No. The NB series uses a bolt-on mounting that physically secures the breaker to the bus bar with a screw, while Federal Pioneer plug-in (Stab-Lok) breakers snap onto the bus. The two styles are not interchangeable. Check your panel's bus configuration or label to confirm which type is required before ordering.
Federal Pioneer breakers like the NB30 are considered obsolete or hard-to-find, and new old-stock (NOS) units are increasingly scarce. Northern Breaker Group specialises in sourcing both NOS and professionally reconditioned Federal Pioneer breakers for exactly this situation. Contact us for current availability and we'll advise on the best option for your project.
For most residential services and many light commercial installations in Canada, a 10kA (10,000A) interrupting capacity meets the available fault-current levels. However, you should verify the available short-circuit current at your panel — typically found on the panel label or through your electrical engineer. If your available fault current exceeds 10kA, a higher-rated breaker will be required to meet CEC requirements.
