Finding the Right Circuit Breakers

January 22, 2012 – 7:06 am
Finding out you bought the wrong kind of circuit breakers as back-up when you have a power outage is no fun. Whether you just bought a house or had one built, you need to find out which kind you have and if that is the only kind that will work. If you are buying an older house, you may find out the type is obsolete or very hard to find. You should buy a complete set if you can find them.

A fuse on the other hand has to be replaced with another fuse of the same capacity before the circuit can be put back into service.

For example, Zinsco breakers can detect not only overcurrent conditions within an electrical circuit; they can also detect ground faults. A ground fault is electrical current that uses the physical ground ...
