I am helping my brother in law renovate his condo. He has an old FP
electric panel that I want to replace due to the problems they are
known to have. There is a 50A main in the meter room, and the feed to
the existing panel is #6 wire. The panel supports 2- 220V a/c's (on
top of pic), 2- 20A breakers, 2-15A breakers, and one open slot for a
spare.

Can someone tell me what panel I would need or maybe point me to a
link of a panel that would work for this application? Maybe made by
Murray, Cutler hammer, or GE?


By the way, one of the A/C's I am converting to 110V because one of
the A/C units is actually *110V and its like new, but the previous
owner never converted the plug to 110V, he just used an extension cord
to an adjacent outlet.


Someone (dpb?) wrote years ago that there were Eaton-Cutler Hammer guts
that would fit in an existing FPE box. I don't know if they still exist
or anything about them.

Yeah, I read about those, but I figure the walls are wide open now, so
why not just replace evreything new.
