Anyone familiar with these? Same as Federal Pacific? Anything wrong with this?

Yes, looks like double taps but the pics are quite small.

It is a double tapped and that is not approved way to connect the wires at all.

I have little trouble to see this photo seems little small for me to see it clear and is the breaker box is full ??

Merci, Marc

Federal Pacific Electric (FPE), one and the same.

Do Federal NOARK and Federal Stab Lok have the same safety issues?

Just report that electricity in the house is inherently dangerous and should be avoided at all costs!

That will take care of all of these issues about having to report on significant deficiencies were no substantiation of actual defect are present in the panel in question.
