A ten‑year warranty underscores the manufacturer’s confidence in product durability and performance, giving homeowners and professionals alike peace of mind.

Usage

This breaker is intended for use in existing Stab‑Lok style load centers, commonly found in older homes and small commercial installations. It is ideal for protecting dedicated circuits that serve high‑draw appliances such as air‑conditioners, water heaters, and electric ranges, as well as general‑purpose lighting and receptacle circuits. The plug‑in design allows for rapid replacement during routine maintenance or after a fault event, minimizing downtime. Installers should verify that the panel’s bus bar rating matches the breaker’s specifications and that the breaker is correctly aligned with the panel’s labeling. The gray plastic housing blends discreetly with most panel interiors, while the clear labeling on the breaker itself assists in quick identification during service calls. This product is also suitable for new construction projects that specify Stab‑Lok panels, providing a reliable, code‑compliant solution for modern electrical distribution.

FAQ

Can the UBIF230N be used in non‑Stab‑Lok panels?

No. This breaker is specifically engineered for Stab‑Lok style panels and may not fit or function correctly in other panel types.

What is the recommended installation procedure?

Turn off the main breaker, remove the faulty unit, align the new UBIF230N with the panel’s bus bar, and press it firmly into the plug‑in slot until it clicks into place. Verify the breaker’s position and restore power.

Does the gray housing affect heat dissipation?

The gray plastic housing is designed with internal vents that allow adequate heat dissipation while protecting the breaker from external damage.

Is the 10‑year warranty transferable?

Yes, the warranty is transferable to subsequent owners of the property, provided the breaker remains installed in its original panel.

How does the breaker handle overload versus short‑circuit conditions?

For overloads, the breaker trips at a calibrated current level to protect wiring. In short‑circuit conditions, the 10,000 AIC rating ensures the breaker can safely interrupt high fault currents without damage.
