Homeowner, friend....has a 60 amp federal Pacific panel. Four 20 amp and four 15 amp branch circuits.
He wants to add a dryer plug but has no room..
Wants a 100 amp square D panel put in it's place.
The branch circuits are knob and tube....
Guy is broke with medical bills...wants to be safe by removing the federal Pacific panel..yet not pay for a whole service change
I want to provide the safest install for the limited scope of work
Question is how safe is knob and tube? Customer doesn't want/afford afci breakers.
I'm changing the 60 amp wire from the meter stack to 100 amp wire and using 100 amp main breaker square D panel he is providing.
I don't know if I feel comfortable with the install... ideally I would put remove the knob and tube, use afci breakers.
Should I not do the job? I appreciate your feedback
