Cryogenic treatment is used extensively in the racing industry (NASCAR,NHRA,etc.) with proven results. I've been repairing cars for 37 years and I'm familiar with a lot of the studies done to prove the results and as such IMHO although I'm no physicist, cryoing must alter the molecular structure somewhat. That being said I wouldn't feel comfortable cryoing either a breaker box/subpanel or the associated breakers as you want them to function exactly as intended. I'm about to install a subpanel with 5 separate circuits for my rig. While the 6/3 feeding the subpanel and the 10/2 feeding the outlets will be cryoed, the panel and breakers will not.
