1957 FPE Panel

[Jeffrey R. Pope]

Just thought it was interesting. I've never seen one wired quite like this. It's a parallel service for a duplex.

Indeed very interesting.......with this in mind...If anyone out their knows of any old panels....any brands. I will pay to have them shipped to my office so that I can do a video on inspecting OLD systems.....

Just contact me and I will pay for the shipping...if you know of anybody who has some old stuff laying around....tag it with your name so I can return it when done ( unless you want me to keep it ) and contact me so I can schedule a pickup.

Hi Jeff,

I'm dying to know, did you call out the line side double taps?

In this case, no. It's actually a single conductor, looped at each lug. I did, however, recommend replacing the panel due to its age and low service capacity. It only has 30 amps to each side. . .
