What is a Circuit Breaker?
If a fuse is the easygoing buddy in electrical circuits, then a circuit breaker, called a “CB” by the pros, is like the superhero version – a real champ! The cool thing about CBs is that they’re resettable. Fuses just blow; circuit breakers have an impressive long life, performing hundreds and thousands of operations. Of course it comes with a bit more cost, but you get what you pay for! Also, circuit breakers are the go-to for handling those higher currents. Super handy, right? 😊
Circuit breaker testing is like giving your electrical system a health check. We evaluate each switching component's performance and the tripping system's overall effectiveness. Basically, we analyze how much current the trip coil consumes while the breaker is doing its thing. This helps us spot any mechanical or electrical issues that could mess with the breaker's function and safety.
Now, let's talk about the fun part – the types of tests we perform:
Connection Tests: We make sure the breaker has a solid electrical connection and isn't overheating.
Overload Tripping Tests: We crank it up to 300% of the breaker rating to see if it opens automatically. Talk about putting it to the test!
Contact Resistance Tests: We measure the resistance across each breaker pole to check for any unusual wear and tear.
Instantaneous Magnetic Tripping Tests: This ensures that the magnetic feature is on point and will trip the breaker when needed.
How often should you test your circuit breakers?
We recommend a full inspection every one to three years, with an annual check on each breaker’s operation. Depending on your system’s age, you might want to test more often to stay on top of things.
And guess what? Solar Specialty Group has got the tools and expertise to make it all happen. We offer dependable circuit breaker testing solutions. We regularly check for overloads and electricity flow, visually inspect for damage, and if you sense heat or smell burning, hit that main power switch pronto.

Welcome to the sunny world of solar panels in beautiful Hawaii! 🌴 If you’re considering going solar, you’re in for a treat. Efficiency, cost, and power output are just the beginning of your solar journey. Let’s explore the ins and outs while shining a spotlight on Solar Specialty Group, your go-to for solar panel inspections in Hawaii.
Now, Hawaii is a paradise, but it’s no stranger to hurricanes. Your solar panels need to be hurricane-ready. While there’s no official hurricane rating for solar panels, most can handle winds of up to a whopping 140 mph. They’re secured with fasteners, through-bolting modules, or a sturdy three-frame rail system to withstand even the fiercest tropical storms.
Worried about your panel’s security? Inspections by Solar Specialty Group can spot any weaknesses and put your mind at ease.
Safety is paramount, and that includes fire safety. In case of a fire, your solar panels must match the fire rating of your roof. Solar panels now come with fire classifications like roofs do, such as Class A (for severe fire test exposure), Class B (for moderate fire test exposure), and Class C (for light fire test exposure).
Hawaii’s mild climate is perfect for solar panels, which perform best at around 77°-88°F. However, if temperatures soar above 149°F, efficiency can take a hit. Thankfully, this isn’t a major concern in our lovely state.
Now, let’s talk about the rare occurrence of hail. Those icy balls from the sky can be a challenge. But fear not! Solar panels are like superheroes for your roof, sporting a sturdy layer of tempered glass. They’re certified to withstand hail up to 1 inch in diameter at roughly 50 mph. Monocrystalline and polycrystalline panels are your best bet in hail-prone areas, while thin-film panels, with their sleek design, may not be ideal for such spots.
For top-notch solar panel inspections in Hawaii, turn to the experts at Solar Specialty Group. They’ve got your back when it comes to ensuring your solar setup is safe and sound. 🌟
