RE: Could be worse than you claim.

Yes, FPE load centers, panelboards, and breakers were UL listed. Same with Zinzco.

I attended a seminar class, about 20 - 25 years ago, and I remember the instructor saying UL tested a breaker 2 times. If it tripped twice under UL controlled tests it passed. I remember the instructor saying something like, so if a breaker trips more than twice it should be replaced. That was all it was tested for.



Two Links for you to look at.

The average person has no idea just how powerful electricity can be. Or the damage it can do to property and or life.
