Just moved into an eighteen year old condo that has a federal pacific electric breaker panel with challenger circuit breakers.
I have an 1988 vintage GE electric combination electric range/oven with an integrated over the range microwave.
Every time I use the electric range, its oven, and the microwave together, the range circuit breaker in the panel box trips. This circuitbreaker is double breaker that has 40 on its two tandem switches which I assume is an 80 amp double breaker.
I am looking for professional opinions
Is it possible the 80 amp breaker is bad??
Would the total draw of the range its oven and the micro on at the same time cause an 80 amp rated breaker to trip??
Thanks for your help
