The product, in the report: Electrical circuit breaker or distribution bus failure in I-T-E (now owned by Siemens) 2-pole 240V load center, Unit manufactured in March, 1986- same unit was recalled with manufacturing dates of Aug-Oct of 1986. Unit fed 240V/ twin 50Amp circuits to electrical resistance heater coils in forced-air heat pump HVAC system. (electrical resistance heat used as “back-up” heat source to HVAC system) Circuit breakers within unit evidenced thermal fatigue/ expansion of metal clip-to load bus and resulted in electrical arcing to center load bus; circuit breaker failed to interrupt circuit, which resulted in overheating and eventual small electrical fire contained within the load center and internal circuit breakers. The ITE distribution load center unit had a date code of C1886 (Mar 18 1986) The Siemens 240V 50A circuit breakers date code is 07/99 Affected Unit: I-T-E Indoor Load Center E0408ML1125F/S-2 Manufactured date: C1886 (March 18, 1986) Affected Circuit Breakers: Siemens Type QP 50 Amp 240V model Q250; mfr date 07/99 Original Recall published by CSPC, Release # 88-0091 Affected units are specified as having date codes as: - H2586-H3186 (H = August, days 25 through 31, 86 = year) - J0186-J3086 (J = September, days I through 30, 86 = year) - K0186-K2486 (K = October, days I through 24, 86 = year) Affected Circuit Breakers: Siemens Type QP 50 Amp 240V model Q250; mfr date 07/99 Unit fed 240V/ twin 50Amp circuits to electrical resistance heater coils in forced-air heat pump HVAC system.
