What is main breaker generator panel?
The main breaker generator panel connects the residential generator with the electrical system of your home. It is the ideal on/off switching system that allows the homeowner to switch between power provided by the electrical utility and the generator.
Why do I need one?
In the event of a power outage, the homeowner can switch power source from the utility to the generator to ensure continuous operation of critical appliances such as lighting, refrigerators, air conditioning and water heaters.

Hire a Licensed Electrician
July 20, 2010 by admin · Leave a Comment
Hire a licensed electrician in for your next home improvement job so you don’t sacrifice quality and safety. If a pipe leaks, the floor gets wet and some minor property damage may occur. If electricity is not handled correctly, severe injury or death can occur. So count on an electrical contractor for getting the job done right and done safely. Think about it. If a handyman can’t do the work that it takes to become a licensed electrician, they will probably perform improper or incomplete electrical repairs. This will eventually lead to serious, recurring electrical problems. The work will have to be redone or worse yet, may cause damages to life and property.

Overloaded Circuit
July 19, 2010 by admin · Leave a Comment
An overloaded circuit is the primary reason for a breaker tripping and occurs when a circuit is has more connected electrical load than it is supposed to have. When more current runs through the circuit than the circuit was intended to take, the circuit breaker is designed to, well, “break the circuit.”
Circuit breakers come in different ratings that determine how much current they will allow to flow through the circuit. If a 15 Amp circuit breaker is protecting a 15 Amp circuit, and 20 Amps of current start to flow through it because a hair dryer, TV and small personal heater were all connected to the same circuit and were on at the same time (even if on different outlets) then the circuit breaker trips to prevent overheating of the circuit.
