Fused Neutrals (1928 panel)

[Richard Moore]

Here's a fun one from an apartment in a 1928 co-op building. Open the panel door and you are faced with this....

4 fused neutral 15 amp circuits (5 if you count the double tap), 40-amp 240 for the range, and lots of nasty exposed bits to electrocute you.

My first fused neutrals! I'm a proud papa!

Out of town client buying it for his son while he attends the UW. I gotta believe he will be concerned about the safety issues.

Cool old building though...steam heat, common hot water, etc, etc.

Nice! Gives one a little perspective on where we've come from.

This is one I found; parts were still active, some wires were clipped.

That panel still has what may be/could be possible asbestos type material in there.
