Electrical layout 1BR as originally installed

One thing to consider is that these electrical panels are 40 years old and had breakers that were made by GE. Only the GE breaker will fit into this panel. All units should consider putting a split 20amp breaker to upgrade and reduce or better distribute the load currently wired in your existing panel. If you click onto the picture, you can get a better close up of what you're looking at and why I decided to better distribute the electrical load. Look closely to how on the top breaker there are two wires going to through this circuit.

For the single bedroom, the electrical layout for the Breaker schedule is:


This is the before picture of the electrical panel box




This is a picture of the electrical panel after the split 20amp breaker has been installed. You see now how there is only one wire going to each breaker switch? Here it has been decided that it is better to split the power load from a single 20amp breaker to split the load to two breakers. Initially the power load for this one 20amp breaker powered the living room plugs and switches, kitchen light, master bath light and switch and master bedroom plug on the North wall.



All breakers are 20amp. I have now installed a double twenty amp breaker to lighten the load of the existing #1 single 20amp breaker which in my opinion was way overloaded. This is the schedule after the #1 20amp breaker has been switched to a double 20amp switch.
