FPE electrical panels


Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) circuit breaker panels were one
of the most common electrical panels installed in U.S. homes
between 1950 and 1980. The most dangerous part of
FPE panels is that they work fine for years, but after a single
overcurrent or short circuit, they may melt and become
hazardous.

These panels may no longer offer proper overcurrent and
short circuit protection for a home electrical system.

FPE panel is a "latent" safety hazard because the panel itself
is not hazardous. However when an unsafe condition (short
circuit or overcurrent) occurs, an FPE Stab-Lok circuit breaker,
which is supposed to interrupt electrical power, fails, creating an electrocution and fire hazard.

WARNING: A visual inspection of FPE panels can't predict whether a circuit breaker is going to fail during the next overcurrent or short circuit. Such an inspection might discover evidence of a previously burned circuit breaker or panel bus connection. However, the absence of such evidence can not be considered as an assurance that your FPE panel is safe. According to multiple independent inspectors' suggestions, a FPE "Stab-Lok" electrical panel should be replaced. Having this panel "Tested" or "Inspected by an Electrician" is not enough to provide you peace of mind.
