The Dangers of Mismatched Circuit Breakers in Your Electrical Panel
Mismatched circuit breakers in your electric panel could be hazardous! Although it might seem harmless to install any breaker that fits, breakers are designed to work with particular panels. When a breaker is set up in a panel it's not rated for, it might not trip during an overload or short circuit, triggering electric damage or fires to your house. Your panel cover generally lists the compatible breakers, and the breakers themselves might say "only for use in rated enclosures." Ignoring these guidelines compromises the safety of your electric system. Call us in case you believe the incorrect breakers are installed in your panel. We'll examine your system, ensure it to code, and keep your home secure.
