Should I Replace My Federal Pacific Panel?

Federal Pacific Electric “Stab-Lok” service panels and breakers are a latent hazard and can fail to trip in response to over-current, leading to electrical fires. These breakers may also fail to shut off internally even if the toggle is switched to “off.” Some double-pole (240-Volt) FPE circuit breakers and single-pole FPE Stab-Lok circuit breakers simply do not work safely. There are other panel-defects independent of the breaker problems, panel and panel-bus fires and arcing failures in some equipment. The failure rates for these circuit breakers were and still are significant. In some cases failure to trip occurs 60% of the time – a serious fire and electrical shock hazard. Failures are documented in the CPSC study and by independent research. Additional independent testing and research are on-going. FPE Stab-Lok electrical panels should be replaced. Do not simply swap in some replacement breakers.
