Morning Greg, you ask "So John, how many other unsafe load center are out there? "

Likely in my "opinion" as a retired power distribution design engineer who was well aware of problem you posted, I BET THERE ARE A TON OF THEM out there, how many ??? Now many were installed ?? lol How well maintained ??

Much of my work was in Commercial/Industrial power moreso then residential and small scale where I saw less problems, many of my plans and specs (where permissible by law) named Square D or GE as my preference. We were barred from specifying overly proprietary equipment but hey we did what we could. Our Bibles kept by our side at all times included the NEC and Square D and GE catalogs.........I had fun in those days I cant walk the walk any longer (codes change) but I still love to Talk the Talk

I advise homeowners (was used where I practiced) to "exercise" their breakers on a regular basis as well as check and tighten if/as necessary each and every Hot/Breaker as well as Neutral and Ground connections plus the main Neutral and Ground Buss Bars etc. Then check the Neutral connection to all readily available "Grounding Electrodes" (verify their integrity) and the Neutral ground BOND. My electricians may have complained about "extra" work, but hey it was a job for which they were well paid. I respected them as they did me and we learned from each other, great relationship where I learned the "practical" in addition to my theory.

Fun topic for us nerds engineers and electricians lol even if we bore the lay gents.

Best wishes, God Bless America
