What will I find next when I open a panel cover.........

[Allen L. Catterton]

I truly believe that eventually Darwin’s theory of survival of the fittest will weed out all of the Harry Homeowners that do some of the insane things that we see regularly. This was a repo and I guess that if you can’t afford a new breaker then just add a light switch. I don’t know the purpose of the switch (and don’t want to know). The power was off and I strongly recommended that a qualified electrician evaluate the service panel prior to the power being turned back on.

OMG...you're right...that should have been a 20A, not a 15A !!!

The paint overspray that panel has rendered it unusable anyhow.

Except for the fact that the paint is recognized as having deleterious effects on the plastic insulating parts of the panel, and all panel manufacturers recommend condemning a panel that has pain overspray on the buss and insulating parts.

That overspray looks like spray texture and if so wipes off with a damp cloth.

[Speedy Petey]

I think it looks cooooool.

I do want to know!
Why would you run that "switch" to two separate (double-tapped) breakers? Crazy. To think that this made sense to someone?

What until you open one and everything starts to fall out. Now that is an experience.

Flip switch on, get 240 volts on 2 branch circuits. Run table saw, do some welding, knock on wood, brag to buddies .

You could have opened this one.

maybe if that owner of that place did installed the single pole switch inside of the breaker box becuase his past experanice with the current limter metering socket was on before and he have to cross over the dead leg to get it on.

{ Marc Shunk have a photo of what the limter look like and i think he will repost it again if he have time}

Merci, Marc
