Tip when buying new circuit breakers #electrician #diy

All right, if you're an electrician and want to learn a quick tip, I'm going to show you guys a quick hack whenever you're buying a brand new circuit breaker to know if it's good or not. And what I'm about to show you guys is never seen before, and it works on every single breaker in the planet, such as Square D, GE, Siemens, Cutler-Hammer. Listen up. Okay, so I currently have a 20 amp single pole Cutler-Hammer BR breaker, and this is a brand new breaker, guys. So, if you're at Home Depot, you're at Lowe's, or you're at your electrical supply, and you want to know if your breaker works, all you have to do is just flip the handle in the on position, and slam it on a table, just like this. All right, everybody. So, as you can see, breaker is in the trip position. That's how you know if your circuit breaker works. You can't slam it like this, you can't slam it like this. It has to be with the terminal screw facing down the table, just like this. You're going to hear a click, and boom, guys, it's in the trip position. It works with every single breaker.
