How To Replace a Circuit Breaker - All You Need To Know

Показать описание

How to replace a bad circuit breaker in the circuit breaker panel box at your home. My 30 amp 2 pole breaker failed on me and all of the sudden there was no hot water. The water heater breaker went out so I thought I might as well make a video on how to replace a circuit breaker while I'm at it. Hope you like it, I'll see you in the comments section!

The bonus footage was sooo important because it literally confirmed my suspicions of a breaker I’m dealing with it’s not that the other information wasn’t as important but that little bit did it for me and I can go straight to the source of my problem with confidence thank you!

I’m in HVAC school and we’re having the heating exam coming up this week so I’ve been binging all you heating vids and they’ve been helping a ton. They are really reinforcing all the small things I missed in class and I feel a lot more confident now. You have definitely earned my subscription.

Btw, my instructors post a lot of your videos on our canvas page for us to watch.

All good info. Only things I would mention for anyone watching, is to stick with the breakers rated for your panel. Yes GE, Homeline, BR, and others will interchange and work just fine, but if they are not specifically listed for that specific panel I could see an issue in the event of fire or other insurance related event.

Also, not a big fan of any power tools (impact driver) when tightening electrical screw terminals, especially in a panel. Over-tightening a screw can be just as bad as under-tightening. Breakers are receptacles have rated torque values and it's often lower than people would think.

Great video! And the dad joke at the end....classic!

Hi Jay. I’m a subscriber. I really enjoy your videos and you “dad humor “. As someone who has done plenty of electrical work (not an electrician), I keep up with codes to the best of my ability. NEC code requires that the terminations in electrical panel, seps or sub-panels be torqued to manufacturer’s specifications. The simplest way is to first connect the wire with a screwdriver or low torque drill. Next using a torque screwdriver, apply the correct amount of inch lbs as listed on the breaker. Now you can insert the breaker and flip it to the on position. In this senecio you can buy a much cheaper torque screwdriver. Look up the prices and you’ll see that. Trust me that’s simply the best way to avoid under or over torquing. Both can cause serious problems. Stay safe!

Not an electrician, but am an electrical engineer. Please make sure you are using insulated gloves and insulated hand tools when working on electrical panels, live or not. It only takes a small accident to become seriously injured or worse, and many household tools are insulated to 1000v and would work fine in this instance. The 240v coming in on your main from the distribution transformer can absolutely kill you, and it's still live at the top of the panel even when you turn off the main (unless you have an exterior disconnect). Stay safe!

"It's about raisin awareness." Gotta love the dad jokes! lol
Didn't have hot water a couple years ago - looked at the breaker and it was on (even pushed on it). I figured it was time to replace the elements so made the drive on sketchy, winter roads to the box store 10 miles away and picked up a couple of replacements. When I got home and prepared to replace them, for giggles, I did an off/on flip on the breaker and I could hear it kick on! A few minutes later, I had hot water! Not sure what happened or why ... but it's been working fine ever since. I'll give the tapping tip a try and maybe think about replacing the breaker. Thanks!

I have greatly appreciated these videos. You have taught me a ton about HVAC and probably saved me $1, 000s.

Another excellent video! Very clear and detail with step by step explanation and demonstration. Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge and experience! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Video is great. Gave thumbs up for raisin' awareness.

This was a great Educational video jay...now im more confident in changing breakers 👍🙂 blessings my friend..

Literally every home project I do the first time, I make AT LEAST one mistake which is fine because I can usually just redo it or buy a part to replace. Thats how we learn. The one thing you cannot do is make a mistake with high voltage. You can be killed or crippled for life and this will affect your whole family. This is a good educational video but it's definitely worth it to have a licensed electrician do this if you are untrained. Your life is worth more than the hundred bucks or so it will cost to have an electrician do this for you. And I am not an electrician btw.
