Eaton FPE130 Circuit Breaker 1-pole 30 Amp

Product Description

The EATON FPE130 is a 1-pole, 30-amp circuit breaker designed as a replacement for Federal Pacific-style breaker panels. It provides overcurrent protection for a single 120-volt branch circuit and trips automatically under overload or short-circuit conditions to protect wiring and connected loads. This type of breaker is installed by licensed electricians during panel upgrades, service calls, or direct breaker replacement work. At 30 amps, it is commonly used for circuits serving appliances, HVAC equipment, or dedicated outlets requiring higher amperage protection.

This breaker is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a Fed-Pac-style single-pole unit is needed. It fits load centers and panelboards designed to accept FPE-style breakers. Electricians working on legacy Federal Pacific-style panels will find this a direct-fit replacement option. It handles standard 120-volt single-pole circuit protection duties across a range of typical branch circuit applications.

Key Features

• 1-pole configuration for single 120-volt branch circuit protection
• 30-amp rated current capacity for higher-demand branch circuits
• Automatic trip mechanism for overload and short-circuit protection
• Fed-Pac-style form factor for compatibility with matching load centers
• Direct replacement design reduces panel modification time

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for Fed-Pac-style single-pole circuit breaker positions in compatible load centers and panelboards.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements. Always shut off the main breaker and verify the bus is de-energized before servicing any breaker position. Use appropriate PPV-rated insulated tools and follow all applicable local electrical codes. Do not attempt to re-energize the panel until the breaker is fully seated and the panel cover is secured.
