The Legacy of Federal Pacific Electric (FPE)

Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) was once one of the most prominent manufacturers of electrical distribution equipment in the United States. Operating primarily from the 1950s through the 1980s, FPE produced a vast array of circuit breakers, electrical panels, switchgear, and transformers that were installed in millions of commercial, industrial, and residential properties nationwide.

While the company is no longer in business, the sheer volume of Federal Pacific equipment installed during its peak years means that FPE components are still widely found in existing electrical systems. Because new FPE equipment is no longer manufactured, there is a significant ongoing demand for high-quality, surplus, and reconditioned Federal Pacific electrical components to maintain and service these legacy systems. This makes your surplus FPE inventory highly valuable.

Frequently Asked Questions About Selling FPE Equipment

Do you buy used Federal Pacific breakers, or only new surplus?

We buy both! We purchase new-in-box, new-without-box, and used Federal Pacific circuit breakers, including NB and NJL series. Used equipment must be in good physical condition and capable of being reconditioned.

How do I know what type of Federal Pacific equipment I have?

The easiest way is to look for the catalog number or part number printed on the label of the breaker, transformer, or switchgear. If the label is missing or illegible, you can send us clear photos of the equipment, and our experts will help identify it for you.

Who pays for shipping when I sell my FPE equipment?

In most cases, Surplus Electrical Buyer covers the cost of freight and shipping. We will provide you with shipping labels or arrange for a freight carrier to pick up larger items like switchgear and transformers directly from your facility.

How quickly will I get paid for my surplus electrical equipment?

We pride ourselves on fast payments. Once we agree on a price and receive the equipment at our facility for a quick inspection, we issue payment according to the agreed terms. We offer various payment methods to suit your preferences.

Is there a minimum amount of equipment I need to sell?

While we specialize in bulk purchases and large facility cleanouts, we are also interested in smaller lots of high-value items like Federal Pacific NJL breakers or large transformers. Contact us with what you have, and we will let you know if it's a fit.
