Main circuit breakers


AN ELECTRICIAN HELPS YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR MAIN CIRCUIT SWITCH

We all groan in frustration when we are in the middle of something important, and the lights go out, or when we plug in an appliance and the electricity goes out. Go straight to the electrical panel, but like so many others, are you baffled and confused in front of all the different circuit breakers? An electrician who is familiar with the electrical panel and circuit breakers will be able to diagnose and repair the problem quickly.

However, unless you have the knowledge and experience of an electrician, it is advisable not to tamper with circuit breakers and especially the main switch of an electrical panel.

WHAT IS THE FUNCTION OF THE MAIN CIRCUIT SWITCH?

The electronic board consists of two types of switches:

  • Branch switches
  • The main switch

WHAT WOULD CAUSE THE MAIN CIRCUIT SWITCH BREAKAGE?

Main circuit breakers do not trip easily, as branch circuit breakers are the first line of protection against abnormal current flow.

Things that would trip the main switch include:

  • Lightning that damages electrical cables.
  • A mains surge damages a large electrical appliance, causing it to absorb more energy.
  • An overloaded electrical panel.
  • Faulty wiring, especially if a live wire contacts a neutral or ground wire.

If your main switch keeps tripping or you struggle to reset it, it's an indication of a serious electrical fault and you need to contact an electrician in Middlesex-MA to urgently assess your electrical wiring.
