Pacific Fpe
How many people are still using Federal Pacific Electric panels aka circuit breaks? I know of the history!?
I’m familiar with the history and suggestions to replace Stab-Lok breakers by FPE, so there is no need to reiterate the above. I’d just like to know how many people are still using them, and how long have you had your panel/circuit breaker? Thanks
Also, to those who insist that “all” FPE panels are hazardous, it seems very odd, that local fire departments have not REQUIRED that they each one be replaced to avoid fires, especially in large developments. I know of several complexes where many units, and I mean MANY units still have FPE panels/breakers. I don’t deny there were defective FPE products, but I believe the lawsuits and money making opportunities from consumers having to buy and install new breakers had a lot to do with it.
Many, many people are still using these panels. As you have noted, there is not any legal requirement to have the equipment replaced, although some insurance companies do require replacement before they will insure a property.
Just because replacement is not required does not mean these things are not a fire hazard. Local fire departments generally have little or no authority to mandate changes. Building codes apply only to new construction or alterations so they can’t require replacement either. It would take major legislation to accomplish this, and that is not going to happen due to the cost involved. If a recall were issued, that would at least provide funding to replace the equipment, but since FPE does not really exist the question of who would have to pay is really murky. Even if the recall were issued, owners would not be required to replace, it would be optional.
There are similar issues. Owners are usually not required to add sprinkler systems to old buildings unless other alterations are made. Knob and tube wiring certainly can be a hazard, but it is allowed to stay as well.
There is not any doubt that your chances of having an electrical related fire are much greater with the FPE boxes than with others. I think the more urgent problem is with the problem of double pole breakers locking on as this is not only a fire safety issue but also a personal safety issue. In any case, I would (and have) replace the equipment without any question. It does cost money, but the cost and hassle of a fire is much much worse.
