Federal Electric Panel

I just saw this on an inspection today. Does anyone know if Federal Electric Products is in anyway afflilated with Federal Pacific Electric Panels? The house was built in 1953.

Thanks in advance.

That was the company’s name before they added the “Pacific” part.

Its not the stab-lok version but its very old equipment and should be replaced.

Thank you Bruce for the information. That is what I thought when I saw it.

I appreciate it.

Thanks
Jonathan
