It's nothing to do w/ you (or even the original post any longer,
Mike--haller always has to throw in his fud crap which has a bare
modicum of a fact but is always blown totally out of proportion to
reality...

I on occasion can bite the keyboard just so long before feel need to add
at least a little reason to temper him.

Almost all is FPE here, too...I have checked which series were used and
they're not on the list of those w/ falsified UL test data that did have
a problem.


Without commenting on hallerb...

There is a list? Can you also determine if a breaker was made in the
period FPE was falsifying information? Both would be useful.

I believe the buss in some of the panels is screwed together and can
sometimes fail.

FPE breakers can be pretty loose.
