Edit: I was not expecting a sticky and such an outpouring of support. I've decided to try and find an electrician after much suggestion. Thank you for the love and support. You guys are awesome!
Weird question.
My fusebox is in my basement, where I've pretty much stocked up for Armageddon. I'm wary of letting an electrician into my home to install fuses and switches for my power generator so I'm thinking about doing the install myself.
I was wondering if anyone might be able to assist or provide a step by step with my set up?
Thank you
Umm... did you try turning the breaker back on?
Yea i think the breaker needs to be replaced but not sure I use a ton of power in one room so that may be it.
It is possible that you cooked the breaker, more likely it's just too much current for the one breaker. Just as well to do some tests, and see how much can be plugged in before the breaker trips.
Might save some cash over an electrician.
yea the room im using "a lot" of power in isnt having issues
I bought some testing equipment to prod around but need a digital voltmeter
The room is tied to the smoke alarms on the circuit breaker board...wonder if their connection is the issue.
Edit: Solved my own problem. unplugged smoke detector in one room.
