Re: Federal Pacific main panel and circuit breakers

Backstabbing is particularly bad with aluminum wiring due to the expansion/contraction of aluminum with heat and it's tendency to work its way out of the backstabbed connection. Hence why the fix is to pigtail the aluminum to copper for the connection to the outlet/switch. The wirenut connection on the aluminum to copper is much more secure with that heat cycling.
