Is Federal Pacific Panel a Fire Hazard?
Is Federal Pacific Electric Panel a Fire Hazard?

I at Phoenix Electric have often been asked about Federal Pacific Panel and if they are fire hazard. Since we are an electrical company in Portland Oregon and have something to gain. It is my opinion not to scare the person in to change out the old Federal Pacific panel but to give them the right information to have them make up their own mind. Here are some websites that I found very helpful.

1. InspectAPedia

2. From Underwriters Laboratories .pdf page 13

3. From Consumer Product and Safety Commission (CPSC) Official Federal Agency website (pdf)
There is more if search on their website.

The three website above does not have anything to gain unlike me. I also know that InspectApedia recommend that residential FPE Stab-Lok electrical panels be replaced entirely or the entire panel bus assembly be replaced entirely, regardless of model number or year of manufacture. Underwriters Laboratories recommends against replacing individual FPE Stab-lok circuit breakers. Since they are not UL listed and approved. Consumer Product and Safety Commission a Federal Government Website had a recall on the Panel. But please keep in mind there are millions of the panel out there.

If you have any Commercial, Industrial or Residential electrical needs around Portland Oregon area please keep Phoenix Electric in mind to help you with this.
