IDENTIFY ZINSCO - How to Identify Zinsco & Zinsco-Sylvania & GTE-Sylvania-Zinsco & Kearney Electrical Panels and Circuit BreakersThis website discusses the electrical, fire, and shock hazards associated with Zinsco electrical components, circuit breakers, electrical panels, including certain Sylvania electrical panels and breakers which are in fact of the same product design and origin. Readers should also see IDENTIFY GTE SYLVANIA-ZINSCO PANELS , see IDENTIFY KEARNEY PANELS, see the GTE-SYLVANIA-ZINSCO FAILURE MECHANISM as well as ZINSCO FAILURE REPORTS.
Zinsco electrical panels were distributed in the United States, primarily in the Western states. Some Zinsco electrical panels include an embossed "Magnetrip" label in the panel cover (photo, above left). The photo (above-right) of a recent GTE Sylvania Zinsco circuit breaker burnup is courtesy of Jeff Weissman. Other Zinsco electrical panel identification and information labels are included in this article.
