I recently had to replace the entire breaker panel at the beach condo.
The original aluminum bus bars were corroded, and burned on some high
amp breakers. We had several appliance board failures before we
figured it out. It was also exacerbated by voltage swings due to the
utility replacing all the feeders down the island.

The original breaker panel had paint and texture sprayed on the
interior, and had probably been soaked in salt water during Ike
because the original builder not only went cheap on the panels, but
some of the patio soffits were sheetrock instead of hardie board,
causing disintegration and much wind blown water damage to all units.
The new ones are copper.

Silver sometimes burns out too...
