3 Phase Board Replacement

Former Community Member over 3 years ago

bbde2234199734238b313b2f5622eca8-huge-img_20210317_171001.jpg

Hi,

I was hoping I could glean some knowledge from you bright sparks.

I have a very old (and should be illegal) Federal Pacific 3 Phase Board that I am updating. It currently has 36 ways (with 2 Triple Pole and 30 Single Pole Breakers) with 3P 100a Disconnector.

There aren't many Boards that can fit that amount of outgoing ways, but I've find Europa Components do one.

Is it a case of switching old SP Breaker for new SP Breaker, and similarly for 3P Breaker.

I've attached a picture to hopefully help with your advice.

Thanks

Hi Chris,

Thanks for replying.

It just seems old and antiquated, and needs updating, hasn't been tested since 2006, and been advised that it might not pass testing.

Federal Pacific have a reputation, and want to ensure I go into thing with my eyes open, so I don't get shafted by an "overeager" sparky.
