CHALLENGER

During the 1980s and early 1990s, Challenger electrical panels were installed into hundreds of thousands of homes, but they were recalled in 1988.

That recall specifically focused on Challenger panels with 15- and 20- ampere circuit breakers made between February and April of 1988 that have a mechanical component that can detach leading to overheating, melting, and fire.

Unfortunately, problems with these panels continued even after Eaton/Cutler Hammer purchased Challenger. In 2014, Eaton/Cutler Hammer recalled 1,000 panels because their easily accessed components presented a shock risk.

You may have a Challenger electrical panel that you need to replace if you see:

Challenger stamped on the handle or door.

Challenger on the manufacturer’s label (often found on the inside of the panel door).

Circuits with yellow buttons and the word “test” on one side.

Please note that Challenger parts can show up in other electrical panels, including those made by GTE Slyvania and Zinsco.

ZINSCO

Many homes built or updated in the 1970s, particularly those in the western portion of the county, have electrical panels made by Zinsco.

Unfortunately, these panels have several design flaws that create a serious electrical panel fire hazard, including:

Insecure connections between breakers and bus bars (the part that distributes power).
Components made of aluminium that need to be replaced at 30 years.
Bus bars that corrode easily.
Breakers that melt into the bus bar.
Moreover, Zinsco panels may continue to conduct electricity even when the breaker appears to be off.

Zinsco was purchased by GTE Sylvania in 1973, so you want to check your electrical panels for the following names:

Zinsco
Sylvania
GTE-Sylvania
Sylvania-Zinsco

You can also look for bright red, blue, and green tabs on the individual breakers, but treat this as a rule of thumb. Zinsco electrical panels can also have black breakers.

FEDERAL PACIFIC

Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) panels gained popularity and widespread use from the 1950s to the 1990s. However, a significant issue arose with Stab-lok panels, as they sometimes failed to trip when circuits became overloaded.

This failure could lead to system overheating and potentially trigger fires. Due to these concerns, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) initiated an investigation into Stab-Lok panels during the early 1980s.

Although FPE Stab-Lok panels were never officially recalled, most electricians advise their removal. Indicators of FPE Stab-lok panels include:

The presence of "Federal Pacific Electric" or "FPE" stamped on the metal cover.
An internal information sticker reading "Federal Pacific Electric," "Federal Pioneer FPE," or "Stab-lock."
Breakers featuring a red stripe on each switch.

PUSHMATIC

Pushmatic panels were popular from 1950 through 1980.

During that time, the Pushmatic system wasn’t known to have any fire hazard, but it’s now considered an outdated system and should be replaced. Be forewarned that you can still buy new Pushmatic components. However, these parts may not be compatible with the original Pushmatic electrical panel.

Identifying a Pushmatic panel is relatively easy. Unlike most panels that have right to left switches, a Pushmatic has rectangular buttons that activate and deactivate circuits.
