Replacing an electrical circuit breaker in a sub-panel: how to match up a breaker

[Nickrox48]

How many sub panels can a building have

[VideoJoeKnows]

@Nickrox48 Generally there is one sub-panel per main panel. If a building has 6 main panels outside, like an apartment building, then you will have 6 sub-panels inside the main area of each apartment. You could have another sub-panel off of one sub-panel, for a total of 2 but most places get by with just one sub-panel. Did I answer your question? If not, send another specific question. Joe :0

hmmm...miss-labeled video. this should be titled how to figure out what kind of breaker to buy.

@Kidtrd I could've called it that....but doesn't my title pretty much mean the same thing? Thanks for the suggestion. I appreciate your comments. Joe :0

@vcanadam9 I'm sorry. "Joe" does not have a video that shows how to install an electrical panel.......yet. You'll have to keep looking. Thanks for asking & good luck with your project. :0

ours is Mitsubishi, and looks pretty the same, i would not mess with those though !.

@TeDuaMalakie If you don't feel comfortable replacing a bad breaker, then get a pro to change it out for you. If you turn the main power off, it's pretty easy to replace a breaker though.....provided you have the right replacement breaker to install. Thanks again for commenting. Joe :0

Aren't tape measures a waste of time? They don't seem to measure properly in a d.i.y. store.....How do you fix one of those?

Thank you for all your tips.

Seems pretty easy never had to replace one of them before....but i don't know about me doing it electrical stuff creeps me out i can imagine myself getting zapped,flying across the room landing in a heap somewhere smelling of burnt hair *Shiver*.....Thanks for the vid at least if i "Have" to do it myself i'll know how *shiver*

@Queenterrier I know it sounds a little mysterious....if you've never done it before, but it's actually quite easy. Next time I have a breaker to replace, I will make sure I do a video of it so you'll know how........just in case.....shiver lol! Until then. Thanks for your comments & have a great day. Joe :0
