Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat

@oregonpapa...………………………….

The way I understand it, you put the mats inside the panel where the wiring is?  If that is the case, I question what would happen if your panel caught fire, would the insurance company balk?

Back in 1985 right after I bought my present house, I smelled something burning in the basement and there were flames coming out of the panel.  I shut the main off and was lucky.  It turned out the screw that holds one of the main wires was loose and we all know resistance=heat=fire.  I had to have an electrician replace the entire panel and some of the wiring, but I saved my house.

Are my concerns valid?

DO NOT put anything inside the panel!!! Attach the Omega to the OUTSIDE of the panel. On the inside of the door of a breaker box is okay, but NEVER open up the panel unless you are a qualified electrician and know exactly what you are doing!

^^^ I did my panels by attaching one mat to the inside of the metal door of the panel, and then the other one is up against the switches themselves. I removed no switches, nor did I fool with any switches. There is nothing touching any wires anywhere in the panel. In essence, its just a stock panel with two Omega E Mats magnetically attached to the inside of the panel door. In addition, there has been no TC treatment inside of the panel anywhere.

It sounds to me as if you had a wiring short in your panel. Not the case here at all. But, thanks for your concern.

I would say that the breaker box panel door inside or outside should be a safe location. My guess would be more effective on the inside of door but for those who worry about such things go with the outside.

Agreed that it would not be wise to go deeper into the panel than this.

  ok, thanks everyone.  I will put on the outside of the breaker box
