Is there an actual problem (ie breakers tripping, etc) or is it just "hot"? Fully loaded equipment is allowed to get pretty hot and it will run OK like that.

I think a QO breaker is allowed to get up to 75 deg celsius at its terminals without problems. That's 167 deg farenheit!

What is the measured temp of the panelboard? At the breakers?
