The main circuit breaker in my panel has started giving off a faint but noticeable burning smell each time it’s under load. I need an experienced electrician to diagnose why the breaker is overheating, repair or replace the faulty components, and confirm everything is operating safely once the work is complete. Scope of work • Inspect the panel, wiring, and breaker to pinpoint the heat source. • Remedy the root cause—whether that means tightening connections, replacing the breaker, or addressing any underlying wiring defects. • Conduct load-testing after the repair so the breaker can be reset without odor or excessive temperature rise. • Provide a short written report summarizing findings, work performed, and test results, along with photos of the final installation for my records. All work must comply with current local electrical code, and the panel should be left clean, labeled, and ready for regular use the same day. Please outline your anticipated turnaround time and any parts you expect will need replacing so I can approve them in advance.

Hi, I can help with the electrical diagnosis and corrective work for the overheating breaker issue. A burning smell under load should be treated as a serious warning, so the first step should be isolating the affected circuit and safely identifying the actual heat source. My approach would include: * Inspecting the breaker, terminals, busbar, cable sizing and connections * Checking for loose/high-resistance connections, overload or damaged components * Inspecting for discoloration, insulation damage or signs of arcing * Tightening or replacing defective components as required * Verifying load current and voltage under operating conditions * Checking temperature rise after corrective work * Final functional/safety verification and clear panel labeling * Providing a concise report with findings, work performed, test results and photographs I have **16 years of electronics, electrical hardware, industrial automation and protection-system R&D experience**, including circuit protection, power electronics, motor-control systems and high-voltage equipment interfaces. Any breaker, terminal or wiring replacement should be selected according to the existing installation ratings and applicable local electrical requirements.
