How do I know if I have a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel?
Look for the manufacturer name and model only on accessible exterior labels without removing the panel cover. A qualified electrician can identify the installed equipment and check whether the breakers and panel components are compatible. Do not open the panel or remove its cover yourself.
Why are Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels considered dangerous?
A breaker is intended to interrupt current when an overload or fault occurs. If protective equipment does not operate correctly, overheating or arcing can develop. The condition of an identified panel depends on its actual model, installed breakers, connections and observed warning signs, so a qualified electrician should assess it. Heat, discoloration, buzzing, burning odor or frequent trips call for prompt inspection.
