Federal Pacific Electric Panels

** Safety Warning*** Federal Pacific Electric service panel

This panel is a latent fire hazard: it's circuit breakers may fail to trip in response to an over current or a short circuit. Failure of a circuit breaker to trip can result in a fire, property damage, or personal injury. A circuit breaker that may not trip does not afford the protection that is intended and required. Simply replacing the circuit breakers is not a reliable repair. While the panel may appear in acceptable condition at this limited cursory inspection, a licensed electrician who is familiar with this equipment should be called to inspect the panel for immediate fire and shock hazards, and regardless of its visually-apparent condition, the buyer should consider having this equipment replaced.
