Read the latest update of a comprehensive report that provides test results, background information, references, and more.
“Hazardous FPE Circuit Breakers and Panels”
(Latest update Nov. 10, 2017)
The bottom-line conclusion of this report is that: “FPE and replacement brands of Stab-Lok® circuit breakers have a high defect rate. They do not provide the level of circuit protection required by the NEC (National Electrical Code). Homeowners should be alerted to this safety defect and advised to have it corrected. The FPE Stab-Lok® circuit breakers should be replaced unless the occupants are informed and willing to live with the increased risk of fire and injury posed by defective circuit breakers.”
