Is this electrical box worth anything?

[mowin]

Client is having a large building taken down. This cut off 400 AMP box is there for the taking. But is it worth it? Do they still use fuze type boxes?

 

[Nefarious]

I'd take the box for sure. It depends on what projects you have lined up. I would gut it and use it to put some other fun project in.

That is exactly what I was thinking and going to suggest.

I think that it is a bit too big for a cold smoke mailbox mod though,

Yup, fuses are still used. And that one can be converted to 3 phase. It is worth some money

That box is worth a couple grand. Yup, fuses are still used. And that one can be converted to 3 phase.

A couple grand. . .Yikes!

It's possible. These things are in short supply right now. Hell, some 400 amp fuses cost upwards to 700.00 each

I just seen a similar box on eBay with fuzes listed for$600. If I get half that, it would be well worth the 5 minutes to take it down.

Its is absolutely amazing what anything to do with housing/construction costs these days.The lead times on materials are insane.

You're not kidding. We needed some relays for a safety circuit. Took 4 months to get. We requested 3. Only got 2. Not to mention lead times on raw materials for our products. Plastic jugs and glass bottles shortages have shut some of the lines down for extended periods of time.

I'm on a project now that had all windows and doors are Kolbe.These things are the very worst windows and doors I've ever had the non-privilege to paint,some units are so f-ed up you can't do anything with them and to get them replaced is almost next to impossible.Horner hasn't been much better lately either.

Personally, I wouldn't waste my time on the panelboards.

Have a local guy that will give me $75 for one and $50 for the other. 20 mins work for $125. Definitely Worth it.
