Where do you get the history of the federal pacific electric company?

Much of the history of the Federal Pacific Electric Company is summarized at http://www.inspect-ny.com/fpe/FPE_Panel_ID9.htm - FPE HISTORIC DATES - Federal Pacific Electric FPE Stab Lok electrical panels. Note that Federal Pacific Electric had a long history of production of electrical products including fuse panels and other devices that are not addressed by the website above. See http://www.inspect-ny.com/fpe/fpepanel.htm - Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) Electrical Hazards Website, for an in-depth explanation of the latent safety hazards concerning FPE Stab-Lok circuit breakers and electrical panels.

What is the most powerful legal air rifle allowed in Mexico?

Under Mexico rules, airguns are not firearms and so not covered or controlled. Several high power PCP rifles are freely available, Evanix, Career etc. There is not FPE restriction, so it is legal and possible to own airguns with higher FPE outputs than firearms, which are more tightly controlled.


Why are circuit breakers only black?

They are not. A few years ago there were grey coloured breakers used by the FPE company. Some were also mottled in colour, a mixture of black and grey that had a marbling effect.


Which is more powerful a 223 calibre rifle or a 22 calibre rifle?

It depends. A '.22' rifle, if you mean centrefire, includes alot of calibres as the term is generally used to mean any ammunition loaded with a .224 calibre bullet.Such calibres include .222 Rem, .223 rem, .22-250, .22BR, .22 Dasher and plenty of others.Of these, the .22-250 is by far the most powerful. It is essentially a .250 Savage case necked down to take a .224 bullet and so holds alot more powder than any other '.22' round.In terms of foot pounds of energy, a .223 Remington will generally produce about 1,200 FPE whilst the .22-250 will produce about 1,750 FPE.************However, if by "22 rifle" you are referring to the RIMFIRE .22, such as .22 LR, the .223 is much more powerful.


What can 1000 fps pcp air rifle can kill?

Killing capability depends on foot pounds of energy (fpe) and fps is a function of fpe along with weight (measured in grains). A .177 caliber pellet traveling at 1000fps does not have as much energy due to its smaller mass, whereas a .25 caliber pellet is larger and can be heavier. Bottom line: .177 @ 1000fps will "icepick" a pest, ie. punch a tiny hole through it and if it misses a vital, won't kill it. .22 @ 1000fps good for pests (rats, squirrels, pigeons) and small game up to raccoons. .25 @ 1000fps small game including fox, raccoon, coyote


What is the most accurate HAND GUN IN THE WORLD?

Depending on the distance to your target, that would likely be an Olympic style target pistol, such as a Hammerli or Pardini FPE. For ranges of greater than 50 meters, a bolt action pistol in a rifle caliber would be a good candidate. Many can trace their origins back to the Remington XP-100.


Can pellet rifle kill raccoon?

Yes it just depends how well you place the pellet and the fpe on the rifle a head-shot on a raccoon is good and heart and lung shot is good but you should place the shot at only how good the gun and your own air rifle about 25-30 yards. Your rifle should have at least 1000 feet per second.


How safe is a 1969 zinsco electrical panel?

They are not at all safe and are junk that needs to be recycled and never installed even in a barn let alone a home. Zinsco company went out of business partly because it was discovered that their breakers did not trip when they were supposed to. For this reason they are nothing but a fire hazard and are not to be trusted to protect the wiring in your home or your family from a fire. Do not use any Zinsco or FPE service panel. Destroy this panel so that no one can ever use it.


What circuit breaker will interchange with federal pacific?

There is no breaker that will fit a FPE panel except a FPE. The breakers are still being manufactured and are available at Lowes and Home Depot stores, but they are expensive. The failure rate of FPE breakers is worrisome and if I had one in my home I would change it. Federal Pacific has been out of business since the early 80's The current breakers being sold at Home Depot etc, are NOT manufactured by Federal Pacific since that company no longer exists. They are made by aftermarket companies. The FPE problems are not associated with the newer products, HOWEVER, there may be issues with the older FPE panels themselves. It is important to inspect the panels carefully and see that there are no burned or arcing areas and that all screws on the bus bar are securely tight and the bus is not damaged in any way. The breakers must fit properly and SECURELY in to the panel bus bar and the panel cover must hold the breakers securely in place as there are no actual screws to hold the breakers in place. If the breaker fit is loose or sloppy, there is a problem.To clarify the answer to the question, there ARE other options to Federal Pacific or the aftermarket manufactured products. Federal Pacific has a "sister" company in Canada called Federal Pioneer. They are still in business and still being installed today. Although there was a recall on some of there breakers several years ago, there is not the notorious history to Federal Pioneer and they have continued to improve on the product designs.The Federal Pioneer breakers are available in Canada at very competitive prices. There are some sellers on ebay as well, but the shipping costs may be a bit high if you order one or two breakers only.Federal Pioneer is marketed by Schneider Electric of Canada. Check online for further details on the products and availability. You can also buy US made breakers manufacturers like "American" "Challenger" and "Connecticut" electric and a few others. Old, used or NOS "Federal Pacific" breakers have been determined to have high failure rates and should not be used as replacements. Existing Federal pacific breakers should be replaced even if they "appear" to be functioning normally. Keep in mind that the Federal Pacific panels themselves may not meet current codes or standards and should not be used for new installations or "expansions". Replacements of existing breakers are usually "grandfathered" in but once again, the breaker panels themselves should be checked out thoroughly for damages and ALL screw connections should be tight and secure and breakers should be secure in the bus bar. Covers should be securely installed. It may not be cost effective to replace ALL breakers as opposed to replacing the entire breaker panel itself. Weigh out the costs carefully as well as the problems and costs of replacing the entire panel. Keep in mind your "future needs" when making this determination.


What is the velocity of a 40 SW 165gr bullet?

I've shot and recorded 7 different 165gr Flat Point rounds indoors through my S&W M&P 40 and they've varied from 899 up to 1153 fps in 10 shot groups measured 5 ft from the 4.25 inch barrel. 4 brands of FMJ (Full Metal Jacket) clocked at an average of 899, 971, 1026 and 1077 fps, while 3 types from 2 brands of JHP (Jacketed Hollow Point) defensive rounds ran a little hotter at 1082, 1097, and 1153 average fps. All of these were brand name factory ammunition with the exception of the fastest round @ 1153 FPS, it was "new brass" ammo from a commercial reloader labeled as .40 S&W +P @ 36,000 PSI, 1170 FPS, 502 FPE, 4 in. barrel. Another major commercial reloader told me in an email that their new brass .40 S&W assembled with 155gr S***r Gold Dot (JHP) bullets "155 +p has 1200 FPS and 496 FPE while the 155 +p+ has 1300 FPS and 582 FPE" (Foot Pounds Energy) with pressures of 36,000 and 38,000 PSI respectively, but their customer service rep. (probably the owner/president) also cautioned me by writing "I have fired both these rounds in a M&P with no problems. I do feel that the +p+ round would shorten the life of the gun if it was fired in excess." The SAAMI specification for .40 S&W is 35,000 PSI (same as .357 Magnum) and they don't list a .40 S&W +P spec. although SAAMI spec for 9mm Luger is 35,000 PSI and 9mm +P is 38,500. BTW, the SAAMI specs for the .45 ACP are considerably lower at 21,000 PSI normally and 23,000 PSI for the +P loads. .40 S&W +P ammunition is not recommended unless the chamber fully supports the case head. Note that the .40 S&W G***k (G22, G23, G27, and G35) does NOT fully support the case head and most ammunition manufacturers recommend avoiding overpressure ammunition in non-fully supported firearms. The .40 S&W G***ks are excellent pistols (especially the G35) and are known to handle most/all SAAMI spec. brass/copper jacketed factory ammunition exceptionally well. Finally, my favorite 165gr SMJ (Soft-point Metal Jacketed) bullet's outdoor performance is nearly identical to the 165 gr FMJ listed above (1077 fps @ 425 fpe.) The *brand name omitted* SMJ/FMJ groups the best for me. Shooting offhand open sights at 25 yards from a clean/cold barrel I usually place 6-7 SMJ or 8 FMJ out of 10 tight enough to be completely hidden under a business card centered on the target (vertical business card is my standard for the cranio-ocular cavity). Because of the SMJ's barrier penetrating ability and consistent expansion I load them as the bottom 10 rounds in my carry magazine, right under 5 - 180gr W********r R****r Bonded LE JHP, 1072 fps @ 459 fpe which also group very well from my pistol. From the relatively few times I've fired the 180 R****rs I can tell you that their kick is a little snappier but easily controllable. I hope this helps answer your question.
