Re: Main breaker tripping, dead CIM

Another thing to check is whether the terminals on the main breaker are tight. I saw two teams this year with circuit breaker trips with a root cause of loose wires at the breaker.

I agree with the suggestion that you replace the breaker if it has been tripping regularly.
