To All;
A few years ago a customer wanted me to upgrade a two-family dwelling but wanted to keep a Siemens panel that had been installed within the last 6-months, and wanted to know if that were possible, I said ok but let me check with the inspector, afterall if he doesnt like its coming out.
Called the inspector and explained what I had and his first question was , "It aint FPE is it "? I assured him it wasnt and he said it was ok.

Enjoyed your post especially the references to FPE and Zinsco, someitmes trip on an overload. I have had problems with both not tripping infact one time even the 120 and 15 amp breakers. I always try to talk people into upgrading away from those two, anything but FPE or Zinsco, that stuff is almost as bad as Klockner-Moeller.
