This is troublesome because I then have to turn off all individual

One of the best things I ever did was label each circuit on my breaker
panels. As I recall, ~50 circuits took less than a couple hours. Now
get to it!


As far as popping you main breaker, you'll need a meter like this to
solve that mystery:
