Upgrade electrical service to 200 amp?

My 30 year old home has a Federal Pacific breaker panel with 150 amp service. Our 2100 s.f. house has a lot of electrical appliances: washer, dryer, refrigerator, upright freezer, large screen tv with surround sound system, 2 dvr's, 3 vcr's, a number of small kitchen appliances, 3 computers, 3 printers and a pool pump, & a 4 ton heat pump ac to name a few items. Our existing panel handles the load, but there is no room for additional breakers. Another motivator to replace the panel is Federal Pacific panels have been known to catch fire. My electrician doubts that we use anywhere near 150 amps at a time and recommends replacing with a 150 amp Siemens panel for about $650. I was thinking of moving to the current residential standard: 200 amp - cost about $1350. Any qualified electricians out there wish to comment/recommend?
Thank you.

I'd get rid of that FPE panel regardless if you increase your service to 200 amps or not. At the time your house was built, Federal Pacific Electric got into big trouble with UL, they were fudging their UL tests and lots of their units were substandard. I've had some bad experiences with their devices, both residential and industrial 3-phase. I've had FPE 3-phase breakers literally explode rather than trip. They were a big fire hazard. They've since cleaned up their act but the old ones are a safety hazard. As far as upgrading to 200 amps, it's worth the extra cost. You may not need the extra capacity now but you probably will in the future. And if you should decide to sell your house later, not having an upgraded electric service may keep buyers away.

Control A System Pneumatic Components

There are instances where we have used 4–20-mA analog signals to send pressure, temperature and flow signals from our sample systems to the DCS. (In NeSSI-speak, we call this generation 1.5). However this requires extensive wiring in a confined space; significant cost and effort need to go into design of cabling, intrinsically safe barriers, wiring and conduit to meet the electrical classification. In some cases as many as 30 I/O may be required to adequately monitor and control a system pneumatic components .

Intrinsically safe networks such as Foundation Fieldbus and Profibus, at least today, aren't physically capable of handling smaller devices such as sample system components and don't have the intrinsic power capability to support multiple devices without costly extensions.

Another critical barrier to automation has been lack of smaller sized devices (commensurate with the size of sample systems) such as actuators. Miniature actuators are scarce in the instrumentation field, so we haven't been able to borrow from that source. Low cost transmitters, now commonly available for instrumentation, aren't compact enough for a sampling system. The relatively smaller and fragmented market and unique technology requirements have kept the process analytical discipline from automating sooner.

The long and torturous learning process needed to develop proper extractive sampling techniques has created a very conservative mindset regarding acceptance of new technology. In addition, slow recognition of process analytical as a true discipline that crosscuts traditional engineering boundaries (instrumentation, piping, electrical) as well as functional boundaries (lab, process control, maintenance, engineering) has hindered acceptance and understanding needed to address special requirements of process analytical systems such as a purpose-built bus and local control.

The Solution
NeSSI Generation II recognized the need for a bus specific to the needs of sampling in a hazardous environment. Two variants are at hand — Siemens provides one bus, called I2C, while the other comes from CAN in Automation (CiA) (see "Intrinsically Safe NeSSI Nears," www.ChemicalProcessing.com/articles/2008/147.html) and has been adopted by ABB. Both are intrinsically safe, ultra-compact and suitable for operation in Zone 1/Division 1 environments. They also can handle as many as 20 or 30 components. (The trick is to lower the voltage to 9.5 v to allow current loads in the range of 1 amp.)

The first working examples of these buses essentially are modified extensions of on-board digital buses that have been silently operating, without a hiccup, for years inside many of our gas chromatographs. Once these buses and NeSSI-bus enabled sensors and actuators come to the marketplace, we have the tools in hand to automate our sample systems. It sounds easy but the need for different components to play nicely within a specified power budget will pose a challenge. Of course, if the sampling system isn't located in a hazardous area, the NeSSI bus can be used without an intrinsic safe power supply and associated power constraints.

NeSSI Architecture: Modular system includes
mechanical and electrical rails and can accommodate
a SAM.

Having a suitable bus allows us to move on two other critical issues: How do we unburden the DCS and manage our own signals? And how do we do closed-loop control and execute simple control tasks for process analytical specific requirements? We can use a NeSSI-bus-enabled local controller rated Division 2/Zone 2 (since it can be located outside of a sampling handling enclosure).

A physically large controller would defeat miniaturization efforts; we need a "hockey puck" sized programmable device that talks NeSSI-bus on one side and Ethernet or a fieldbus protocol on the other. We call this device a Sensor Actuator Manager (SAM). This SAM functionality to date has been typically embedded within smart analyzers such as gas chromatographs.

Some SAMs employ a programmable logic controller (PLC) to control a sample system. Unfortunately the sample system applets developed for these SAMs have been platform-specific and proprietary. At one CPAC workshops, attendees came up with a list of 60 applets that could provide a standard set of functions to allow a technician to set up, monitor and control a sampling system (and microanalytical device) without custom programming.

It shows the NeSSI architecture with mechanical and electrical bus rails along with a SAM. The SAM manages bus signals and controls the sample solenoid valve system via programmable applets. It also serves as an interface between a Zone 1/Division 1 NeSSI–bus handling the sample system sensors and actuators, and a higher-level communication bus. This arrangement allows plug-and-play capabilities of devices within a hazardous location.

A wireless pneumatic components personal digital assistant (PDA) or personal computer (PC) enables interaction with the SAM and provides a graphical user interface to visualize flow paths.
