I noticed last night that my main circuit breaker panel is humming. no, it knows the words, it just chooses to hum instead.
it's a square-D HomeLine, 42 slot, panel. I have a 200A residential service and has 27 breakers installed. 16 on the left and 11 on the right, if that makes any issue (i can provide an aggregate ampacity for each side if it will help). it's not a loud hum, but it is noticable from 3 to 5 feet away and i'm pretty sure it wasn't there before i activated a bunch of circuits, which I did right after the rough-in.
is this a dangerous condition that needs immediate attention?
or
is this a condition that can be corrected? and if so, how?
or
is this something that cannot be fixed, and if not, what is the cause?
Thanks
