Did you have to add breakers to the beast because the buss bars were too dodgy to handle working it hot?

Yesterday, I had to install 2 new breakers on this big guy. The buss bars were too unreliable to mess with while the power was still on.

Replace the panel, it’s older than me

Square D bolt on: essentially just screw on. You can tell it’s from the late 60s or early 70s by the color of the wires.

I can practically smell this panel from the picture alone

In the past, we used to do all of this while powered. We still do most of it that way, as it’s usually not practical to shut down panels to install a breaker.

I had to remove the ITE bolt in breakers with the help of a couple of guys.

There’s some questionable stuff happening with that three-phase breaker, but it’s a bit of a mess that somehow functions.
