Moisture that enters a circuit breaker panel can corrode electrical
wiring, connections, circuit breakers and even rust the bottom and
inside of the panel box.
Deterioration, rust, and corrosion in an electrical connection create
extra resistance to electricity flow, and consequently heat.
In severe cases, electrical arcing and excess heating can occur inside the
panel causing a fire hazard.
No approved method exists for removing/cleaning corrosion or
contaminants from panel interiors or components such as bus or
terminal bars, circuit breakers or fuses.
The panel and/or components inside may need replacing.
