The 150 amp main on my 1987 vintage Crouse Hinds panel will no longer hold the 'On' position. Is there a suitable replacement? I am told the Murray MPD2150 150-Amp 2 Pole 240-Volt Circuit Breaker will work but I am skeptical. Any suggestions?
What happens if you turn all of the secondary breakers off then reset the main breaker? Turn the secondary breakers back on one at a time.
Another thing to try < in addition to shutting off the secondary breakers >
operate the main breaker firmly and completely to the OFF position to reset it .. John T.
Time to replace the entire panel. The main is a high grade of unabtanium.
I had a main breaker made of the same material. When it failed in the same manner, a panel replacement was the best option. I ended up with more capacity in the process.
I was lucky enough to get it to hold "on" after a half-dozen tries late on a rather cold Saturday evening. Not the best time to have the main breaker fail. Rates for Sunday emergency service calls can be bothersome.
