Question:

What are the concerns associated with Federal Pacific electrical panels?

Answer:

Albert Smith, Expert of Electricians Service Team

Federal Pacific (FPE) was a widely used electrical panel manufacturer in the US from the 1950s to the 1980s. However, these panels have proven to be highly fire hazardous due to their circuit breakers’ failure to trip during circuit overload or short circuits. This flaw has resulted in numerous fires across households for several decades. Identifying a Federal Pacific panel is indicated by the name “Federal Pacific Electric” on the breaker box cover or the brand name “Stab-Lok” inside the panel.
