Signs of a Defective Commercial Electrical Panel
As an electrical panel ages, it tends to malfunction more frequently. This common issue happens because of overloaded circuits. When circuits overload, they can cause flickering lights and turn off appliances to run other electronics plugged into the same electrical circuit. If your electrical panel is no longer reliable, the circuit breakers will trip often. In some cases, they may fail to trip, and someone might get shocked. Breakers that fail to trip can overheat your system and cause a fire. If your electrical panel is more than 25 years old, your best action is to have a licensed, professional electrician look at it. Here are some common signs to consider that may indicate upgrading your electrical is necessary to ensure your building’s safety and electrical performance:
- 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.
