Comments:
The electrical service panel is equipped with 275 Amps of circuit breakers, but the buss bars are only
rated for 125 Amps and there is no limiting master breaker. Idaho building code at the time of
construction did not require a master breaker, and there is no requirement that it be made compliant
with current code. This is a potential safety concern since it is theoretically possible to overload the buss
bars without having overloaded each of the several separate branch circuits. In this event, the likely
result would be an electrical fire. I state that it is a theoretical hazard because obviously the panel and
buss bars have been in operation since 1978 without such an occurrence. I do however recommend the
installation of a master circuit breaker, sized appropriate to the existing busses, by a qualified licensed
electrician.
