Zinsco Panels
May Leave Homes and Homeowners at
Risk
Once Zinsco Panels were very
popular and were installed in numerous
regions throughout the United States. Years
later, electricians and home inspectors have
discovered that certain Zinsco panels can
fail to operate sufficiently and may leave
homes and property at risk to fires and
electrical shock. Zinsco panels can work
fine for years, but as energy demands have
increased for home throughout the years,
these panel my overheat and sections can
melt.
If a breaker melts to the bus bar of the
panel and can no longer trip in case of an
overcurrent or short circuit, a high amount
of power from outside electrical supply
surges into a home's panel and circuits.
Once this happens, it cannot be stopped or
shut off manually. Until electricity runs
out of fuel or the wires melt, it will burn.
The panel could overheat and catch fire,
causing potential harm to the home and the
residents. |
