I'm a home inspector, and I was recently inspecting a ten year old, 8,000 sq.ft. house that had 4 sub panels. Each and every circuit breaker (Siemens) had a hard, plaster-like substance filling the cavity(ies) on the lug end of the breaker. This substance appears to have been applied after installation of the circuit breakers. To me, this is a field modification of the circuit breakers and is suspect. Otherwise, the electrical and every other detail in this house appears to have been executed to the highest standard. Can any of you explain why these circuit breakers might have been altered in this way?
Thanks, Chuck
