Just looked over a HI report for a home and it mentioned they have a Challenger panel and that “challenger panels are known to have buss-bars that damage due overheating”.
Is there something out there I don’t know about?
Heck I’ve seen damaged buss-bars in probably every brand when the conditions warranted it. If any brand, I would say GE probably makes me cringe the most with what appears to be a lesser contact area of the breaker stabs than most other brands. Not to mention ye’ ol’ Federal Pacifics and the reported problems with those.
