Changing out a fuse box
Do they make a circuit breaker panel that will mount in an old fuse
box? I have a friend that wants to get an old house ready to rent. The house is small but it is really nice. Here are two pictures of the fuse box. It has a GE cover that is listed at 150A. The box measures 14.5 by 24 by 3.75. No markings on the service entrance cable that tells what size the wire is. He wants to just remove the old guts and update it to circuit breakers. The bottom left fuse block is hot on both sides even with the fuses removed. In the extreme lower left there is a fuse block that is not being used. Since he is an old friend, I offered to have a look at it for him, but I really don't know what to tell him short of tearing the house down and start from scratch. I know that is not what he wants to hear. The insulation on the wire looks so brittle I don't want to touch it. The house is in rural Georgia. http://imgur.com/NP8xV&UucAD http://imgur.com/NP8xV&UucADl -- O'Neil to General Hammond: For the record Sir, I wanted to blow it the hell up. |
