Why is my 100 amp eletrical breaker box heating up?After having a long shower....when I go into the bedroom where the 100 amp breaker box is....there is a slight smell and some heat coming from the top of the box where it connects to the outside electrical line source. Does any electrician know for certain what might be causing this? I live in Canada.
Well ....the shower is fed by a hot water
100A is not excessive for an electric shower. It is most likely a loose connection at the supply head. Is your shower on 120v or is it bi-phased? And has this always been a problem? There is also the possibility that the circuit hasn't been wired up right. Either the voltage is wrong, or the size of the cable is too small.
See if you can identify the gauge of the cable, the rating of the breaker and the rating on the shower itself.

Here is some info I would like to share: This is a rough guide only.
People often ask how you measure the output of an amplifier. In car audio, there is no guarantee that your amplifier performs to the specifications on the box. Many manufacturers over rate their amplifier to make them seem more powerful, and a better value. Other manufacturers deliberately under rate their amplifiers so that competitors using them will be placed into lower power classes that they do not belong in, and then, win that class.For the factors, we shall see, repeatedly, even if an amp is properly assessed, you will not be able to use the entire output of the amplifier.
For a pretty close guestimate, it can be as simple as plugging a voltmeter to your son of speakers when you play your amp and using the tension formula both voltage divided by impedance. For example, if your voltmeter indicates 10 volts and you know that your speakers at 4 ohms then simply calculate 10 times 10 volts is 100 volts, then divide by the impedance of 4 .. 25watts ... Very simple!
