Default Plastic Electrical Panel
First time of seen one of these (see pic). It was installed in a manufactured home. Does anyone know of any issues with plastic electrical panels?? I could not find any information on the internet. Thanks in advance.

Never seen anything like that. Was it UL listed? Who was the manufacturer? Would think finding replacement breakers might be challenging.

They are UL Listed. There are a few threads in the Electrical forum. You can find them through a simple search, and there is plenty of info in those threads. . .

The best way to bond a plastic panel would be with Super Glue
