I am replacing a panel next week that is a zinsco brand panel. It is fed underground and mounted flush in stucco. The utility entrance is in the center of the panel and all newer panels (all in one) are on the left hand side. I was looking for ideas because I believe the conduit is ridgid. Does anybody know of a modern all in one panel, underground feed in the center?
it's a common problem with zinsco (prince of darkness) residential panels.
one solution, that may or may not work for you is to strip the center barrier out of
the new panel, cut it neatly, and have someone fabricate a little offset and weld
it onto the existing barrier out of sheet metal, so that it clears the center
entrance point. there is usually a rib on the edge of the barrier, so a jigsaw and
some trimming, and a neat little metal piece made up and painted will usually
suffice.
another solution is to use 6x6 gutters like this.
the surround is 304 stainless, with bitchathane for the vapor barrier behind
the stainless, and siliconed to the stucco, with silicone to seal around the opening
for the panel and gutters.
and no, there is no commercially available panel like what you are seeking.
at least, not according to my wholesale house inside salesman, and he's
seen most everything, twice.
