Thoughts on This One

[Jonathan N. Leahy]

I saw this yesterday onsite.

Just curious on some feedback on the set up of this breaker. It seemed a little unusual to me so I am looking for some feedback.

I appreciate all the insights.

Thanks

Just wrong is all i can say

Factory installed jumper to a split bus panel. Rather obsolete but that's how they were manufactured, the load side of the CB feeding the lower section of bus.

Yep. Nothing to report with regard to the set up, however, it is a Federal Pacific Electric, Stablok load-center.

How are those wires affixed to the lower breaker holders.......solder that can't be seen or some sort of mechanical fastening system that can't be seen?

It's magic...



...or mastic. I can't remember which.

In the past I'd see a "split-buss" on about 35-40% of any panel I opened.

Very common around here.

It's a soldered connection...

I appreciate the feedback. It is indeed a Federal Pacific Stab-Lok, which I talked to the client about.

Once again, thanks all
