Useful Tips About Your Electrical System

The Circuit Breaker Panel

Do you know what to do when a circuit breaker trips?



First, Do a visual check to see what electrical devices are being powered from that circuit.



Second, Unplug any electrical devices plugged into that circuit if there are any lights on the circuit shut them off as well.



Third, find out what circuit is in the "tripped" position. In most circuit breaker panels the "on" circuit breakers will face inward, simply find the one in the "middle" position, switch the circuit breaker toward the outward direction(off), then switch the circuit breaker back towards the inward direction(on). Plug electrical devices in, and turn on lights.



IMPORTANT, if the circuit breaker forces itself back to the "tripped" position call an electrician to troubleshoot and repair the electrical circuit.
