I went to a house today to look at a service panel that has signs of water infiltration. Water has leaked down to the panel in the basement through the SE cable. I'm going to seal the cable entry fitting so it quits leaking and change the panel guts. The panel is a Square D QOC20U100 (100 amp MCB with 20 spaces).
Anybody know if I can buy that panel still? If I can I will remove the guts and throw the can away. It will save me alot of work over changing the entire panel.
Also there is a gas service pipe that comes into the home a few inches above the panel. It even branches out right above the panel to feed the gas appliances. Seems like they could have picked a better place to have all this, but moving it now would be a big deal. The question is, could this be grandfathered? The house is probably about 75 years old.
