What did this panel supply? Looks like the 2 pole on the right is being used as a back-fed main.

Is that a field cut oval hole in the back of the panel that the conductors are running through?

Electricman2,
The only thing I saw in the area here was the sprinkler control cabinet to the left of this mess in the 1st pic....
Steve,
The oval hole looked like a factory job, But the edges didn't appear to be rounded out, nor was there any sign of a bushing being installed... I'm going to try searching some of the local papers online & see if I can get some info on the fire cause..... That opening & the completely bbq'd phase looks suspect, except for I'd think it qould've eaten out a chunk of the opening while faulting!

Was that a Myers pedestal? You could always recognise them by that nasty green color they used.

P.S. Are the still in business?Since Cooper has the Scru-tite hub line now I was wondering.

Myers still is making pedestals by the gazillions. They've got a place right by our shop in Corona, CA

Ryco (a subsidiary company) is up in Pomona, CA. I've had them actually build me switchgear on the spot while I waited in the parking lot!! A good bunch...S

(PS, except for the sickening gray/green paint )

Scott,
RSE Sierra in Anahiem does custom switchgear also, & they use Square D parts They've come through for me many times in a pinch! (Not to mention they won't paint it green )
