Federal Pacific Electric Panel (FPE)

A Federal Pacific Electric panel is an electrical panel with Stab-Lok circuit breakers that inspectors flag because of reported safety hazards, including breakers that may not trip as intended.

Why it matters

Inspectors often recommend evaluation or replacement of FPE panels. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has published information about FPE Stab-Lok breakers and associated hazards. Replacement cost belongs in the capital plan.
