Federal Pacific Electric Panels: Fires Waiting to Happen?
Federal Pacific Electric "Stab-Lok" service panels and breakers are dangerous and can fail, leading to electrical fires. The problem is that some 240-Volt FPE circuit breakers and possibly also some 120-Volt units simply may not work.
It has been suggested that there are as many as 28 million of these breakers in use in the U.S. which means that in some conditions as many as one million of them may fail to provide proper fire protection. For more details go to http://www.myelectricianonline.com/faq_files/q17.htm
