Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) circuit breaker panels were one of the Portland panel installations and upgrades most common electrical panels installed in U.S. homes between 1950 and 1980. The most dangerous part of FPE panels is that they work fine for years, but after a single overcurrent or short circuit, they may melt and become hazardous. These panels may no longer offer proper overcurrent and short circuit protection for a home electrical system. FPE panel is a "latent" safety hazard because the panel itself is not hazardous. However, when an unsafe condition (short circuit or overcurrent) occurs, an FPE Stab-Lok circuit breaker, which is supposed to interrupt electrical power, fails, creating an electrocution and fire hazard. Below is a 4 min 50sec news story on the fire hazard that FPE circuit breaker panels may present to unsuspecting homeowners. FPE is no longer in business, but its panels remain installed in 10's of thousands of homes.

Highly recommended! Installed my Tesla Charger and it was a difficult project with my breaker box in the basement but it was no issue at all.
