Default Federal Pacific Panels

Hi to all,

OK I admit it I can't stand being up-staged by Jeff "zinsco" Pope

I thought a new FPE thread may be usefull, I found this little beauty while researching for my manufactured Homes class.

Regards

Gerry

That old Square D panel didn't look bad, except for the doubled up neutrals. What other problems were there in that one Greg?

Here are some examples of what I might find in a week or so around here and in the LA area (our new BB only allows for upload of 5 files ).

As always Gerry, help yourself. . .

Nice photos of distribution panels (sub panels) Bob. It's also nice to put a face to your posts with your new avitar.

Here are the other panels I was trying to post earlier.
