Federal Pacific NE231040R 40A 3-Pole Circuit Breaker 240V

Designed for demanding industrial environments, the Federal Pacific NE231040R circuit breaker delivers precise overcurrent protection for 3‑phase, 240‑volt electrical systems. This 40 A, 3‑pole unit is built to interrupt all three phases together, safeguarding motors, feeders, and distribution panels in manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and other heavy‑duty installations.

What makes the NE231040R stand out:

• 40 A rating — protects motor circuits and feeders against overload without unnecessary trips.
• 3‑pole configuration — ensures simultaneous disconnection of all phases in a 3‑phase system, maintaining balance and safety.
• 240V operation — optimized for common industrial 3‑phase equipment and distribution networks.
• Part number NE231040R — use this exact part number to verify compatibility with your panel and application requirements.
• Industrial-grade applicability — designed for service, maintenance, and replacement projects in demanding environments.

Practical use cases include protecting motor‑driven machinery, pumps, conveyors, and HVAC equipment within industrial panels. It serves as a like‑for‑like replacement when a 3‑pole, 40A, 240V device is required and helps you maintain code‑compliant protection across your distribution system.

Compatibility and installation tips:

• Verify fit by part number and application requirements before purchase.
• Confirm your panel accepts a 3‑pole, 240V device of this rating and configuration.
• Install in accordance with local electrical codes; ensure proper torque on all terminal connections.
