That smell is caused by the panel and/or feeder cable overheating due to excessive current draw. This is a FIRE HAZARD!!!!!!! The electrician did you no favor by putting in a new main breaker. The old one was tripping to protect the wiring from overload. You should have had a whole new panel installed that could handle the load.

∙ 15y agoIf you have a burning smell from the breaker box, you should call a professional electrician immediately. The smell is likely caused by arcing between the breaker and the bus bar inside the panel, and this can create heat and fire. Again, call an electrician as soon as possible.
