Types of Circuit Breakers
We handle various types with unique features and applications, including:
- FPE (Federal Pacific Electric) breakers are a safety concern due to some units failing to trip. We replace these obsolete breakers to meet the latest safety standards.
- Some Zinsco breakers have been found to melt under heavy electrical load, leading to failure and risk of electrical fire. We replace defective breakers with high-quality alternatives for extra protection.
- Screw-in fuse systems lack modern breakers' convenience and safety features. We upgrade these outdated systems to modern circuit breaker panels for safety and ease of use.
- Standard single-pole breakers provide 120 volts for applications such as lights and outlets in residential homes.
- Double-pole breakers provide 240V circuits for large appliances like dryers and ranges.
- GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) breakers prevent electrical shocks in moisture-prone areas like bathrooms or kitchens.
- AFCI (arc fault circuit interrupter) breakers protect against electrical fires by detecting dangerous arcing.
We offer services, including repairs and replacement, that can help you keep your electrical system safe and code compliant.
What Causes an Electrical Panel to Trip?
Electrical Panels "trip" or shut off the electrical flow to prevent potential damage or fire when they detect any of these conditions:
- Excessive power demand on a single circuit
- Direct contact between a hot wire and a neutral wire
- Hot wire touching a ground wire or metal
- Damaged wires leading to unintended electrical discharge
- Wear and tear on older circuit breakers leading to sensitivity
