Tools and Hardware Reviews of Reliance Controls THP110 Digital Circuit Breaker FinderCustomer Review: This one works Summary: 5 Stars
Over the years I have purchased several devices which were supposed to trace circuits to the appropriate breaker in the breaker panel. Most gave random results, some didn't work at all. Last year I bought a device 3 x price of this one and sent it back as unusable within 24 hours. In some houses one can plug in a radio, turn up the volume, and systematically switch off breakers until the right one is found. Sometimes that's not practical but the same system can work with a helper. That system of course leaves you to reset any equipment throughout the house that is not intended to lose power. In recent years, partly due to an absence of helpers, I have relied more and more on a shorted plug to "pop" the breaker, probably not best for safety or for the circuit in question but effective. (This last approach might be referred to as the OSHA heart failure method).
The Reliance THP110 Crcuit Breaker Finder is a decided improvement. Mine arrived about an hour ago, and in a few minutes I was able to trace the circuits I was interested in. Bravo, Reliance! (Do make the single calibration pass as described in instructions; after that - at least in my case - the trace is infallible).
