it has been about 15 years, got a call to fix a circuit in
a double wide mobile home. when i got to site it was multiple problems but not the panels in the home of
which there was 2 - 100 amp panels and a gaffed in
feeder to an outside - Zinsco panel which was self
distructing, all the mobile homes had zinsco panels
outside and from what i saw they all were in some
stage of self destruction. i am in michigan and had
never saw a zinsco panel, i thought federal had the
worst panels untill i saw this, had to get permission
to shut feeder down to replace zinsco panel with a siemens panel [ ITE]. talked to part time inspector about the mess at trailer park, he did not say much,
found out he had done the whole job and was not about to blow the whistle on hisself. nice world we live in. ron doran - master electrician
