Federal Pacific Electric TYPE 2B Circuit Breaker

Federal Pacific Electric TYPE 2B Circuit Breaker is a two-pole protective device rated at 200A for 120/240V electrical systems, designed for use in panels that accept TYPE 2B breakers. It provides overcurrent protection by interrupting current during overloads or short circuits, with a two-pole design that interrupts both hot legs in synchrony to prevent backfeed and reduce shock risk. The 120/240V, 2P configuration supports standard split-phase service common in many residential and light commercial installations, enabling safe disconnection of both lines at the disconnect point when tripped. This breaker is specifically compatible with Federal Pacific Electric's TYPE 2B family and should be installed only in panels engineered to accept that style of device, ensuring proper fit and electrical clearance. With a 200A rating, it is intended for use on circuits or feeders that require higher current protection while occupying a single breaker slot in compatible panels.
