Federal Pioneer Stab-lok?

[ekih]

I have a federal pioneer stab-lok panel, I was just cleaning up the handwritten description for the breakers and happened to find online that Federal Pioneer has had some problems in the past.
How do I find out if the panel I have is affected?
I have looked on line and can't seem to find the info I need.
Thanks

Those FPE load centers have always been problematic . A goof visual examination would be needed . Then torque / tighten all the screws . With everything turned off .

If it is OK and has not given any problems , I would leave it as is .

Long term , replacing the loadcenter is not a bad idea , if for no other other reason than preventive maintenance .

FPE circuit breakers are EXPENSIVE . If you ever have to add several new circuit breakers / circuits , you will recoup money by buying a les expensive brand .

God bless
