I have been asked to do the design work associated with adding a 600A Distribution Panelboard down stream of an existing 1200A, 480Y/277V Federal Pacific switchboard. There is an existing 600A spare in the board that is, to my knowledge, part of the original equipment. Knowing that Federal Pacific has a checkered past, though not knowing what specifically the problems were, how do you think I should proceed. Should I for example
* have the breaker tested and then not worry about it, buy a
* refurbished breaker already tested (do they exist)
* Call for a new breaker designed to retrofit into this board (do these exist)
Any input you might have would be appreciated,
Mike
