Would anyone know where you could get a panel cover for a federal pacific panel? Someone stole it. I tried a few scrap electrical parts ware houses but know luck.

Sounds like a good excuse to pull out the Fire Prone Equipment and replace it.

I don't have an acronym for that and the only other one I know is not appropriate on this forum. :smile:

When you do a Google search for Federal Pacific, one of the first articles you will find is entitled "Federal Pacific breakers, a fire waiting to happen!" So, if you decide not to change out the panel, you can send me the details of the box you are referring to as far as amps, breaker spaces, etc, and dimensions, in a private message. Also , are you referring to a deadfront or exterior cover? If you are not in a big hurry, I can probably get you one since we change out a lot of FPE in our area.

Yea. The panel change out is probly worth more than the house. But thats how it goes with rental repairs.

Post a pic. I pull them out and chuck them all the time.
Is that a romex connector being used as an EMT connector
I would definately sell them on a new panel.
Tell them that the replacement cover would cost more than the panel change.

That's small potatoes compared to the fact that it's an indoor panel being used outside. Rain dripping through the prepunched KO's in the top right onto the bussing and breakers, boy, you know that's going to last...:roll:

You may be on to something! The picture would have to have the required "plastic snap-in bushins' "!!!Hang a picture of a panel cover so the service guy knows where to look for it

What is the small box above the new panel? It looks like a transformer.

Just follow the fire trucks around for a couple of days and you will find one.
