Signs of a Defective Commercial Electrical Panel
When an electrical panel gets old, it can malfunction more often. This common issue is caused by overloaded circuits, which can lead to flickering lights and require turning off appliances to use other electronics connected to the same electrical circuit. The circuit breakers will frequently trip if you have a defective electrical panel. However, if they fail to trip, someone could easily get shocked. Breakers failing to trip can cause a fire because your wires will overheat. If your electrical panel is over 25 years old, you need to have a licensed electrician from Mr. Electric of Baton Rouge look at it. Here are some common signs to watch out for to determine if you might need to upgrade or replace your commercial electrical panel:
- You hear crackling sounds from the electrical panel.
- You see corrosion or rust on the circuit breakers.
- The interior of the electrical panel is warm.
- Appliances seem to be running at less than full power.
- Outlets near water sources, including sinks, tubs, and dishwashers, stop the electricity if an appliance comes into contact with water, preventing electrocution.
- You have to use extension cords often.
- You have a 60-amp electrical service.
- You have a 100-amp electrical service, but it still can’t operate some appliances.
- Your commercial structure has a fuse block panel or split-bus panel, which does not have a main breaker.
