breaker box routes power to various outputs. Circuit
breakers are protective devices that control the power
going to a particular route of wiring. In case of
an overload or a short on that circuit, the breaker
trips and automatically shuts off power to that circuit.
Ground fault circuit breakers offer protection against
more than just overloads. Many areas require these
for outdoor wiring, or for rooms with outlets exposed
to moisture, such as bathrooms, kitchens and area
where power tools are used.
Our
breaker box is sized for 100 Amps and 25 individual
circuits. Three of the circuits will have double pole,
220VAC breakers for the HVAC system, the hot water
heater and the cooktop. All other circuits will be
20 A.
