Mike Lamb Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 Would you be concerned about this corrosion at the SEC main disconnect contacts? What kind of metal is this? Aluminum? This is a panel that was mounted in a basement directly against an outside foundation wall without an appropriate separation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 In the absence of any indication of overheating, I'd not be concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Katen Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 Corrosion like that never gets better, only worse. I'd recommend replacing the panel. This time, mount the new panel on standoffs or battens. If an electrician were to volunteer to thoroughly clean it up and move it to get it away from the wall, I'd go for that too. But in my area, no electrician is going to want to assume that risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
