FC/MA CRACK RESISTANT FLASH BARRIER

OEM#: 71-112-971-001

Today, we are spotlighting the Allis Chalmers/Siemens Allis Contact Flash Barrier which is used on their horizontal drawout air breakers like the FC and MA lines. This fragile ceramic plate often cracks or shatters through the normal opening and closing of the breaker, increasing downtime and maintenance costs.

NPE has a true "one and done" solution. A replacement part machined from a fiber reinforced, heat resistant material to resist cracking, chipping or other forms of failure inherent to the original design-https://www.npeinc.com/mafc-crack-resistant-flash-barrier.

Shipped with mounting hardware as shown online, this product has become a popular upgrade and it is recommended to change out anytime a breaker is being serviced. We generally keep several dozen in inventory but because they do move quickly, it's a good idea to call us so we can check stock if you need more than a breakers' worth.

This product and all the products in the Aftermarket Parts Store https://www.npeinc.com/aftermarket-parts can be purchased online or through your normal purchasing channels. As always, our motto "The right part, at the right price, right now!"

Spotlighting today in NPE’s PIC is our replacement mechanism cover for the problematic blue-faced LA-600 and LA-1600 circuit breakers. As we all know, this molded blue plastic cover is prone to breakage, cracking and/or other failures and it was later replaced by the gold (yellow zinc plated) steel cover in later versions of this breaker line.

                                                                   Cracked/Broken Plastic Faceplate

Our solution? A hand-made steel cover, painted blue and detailed with our house made labels! Guaranteed not to bend or break with normal use, this one and done solution has become very popular. Simply specify what frame size you need and if the breaker is electrically operated or manually operated and we will ship you a new cover within 24 hours. Quantities are limited so large orders may require additional time, but are well worth the wait.
