Title: Circuit Breaker
Post by: jor on January 10, 2019, 05:16:15 pm
Here's a weird little issue to look out for. I was checking electrical connections and came across this 20a circuit breaker. The guts had separated from the housing. Never saw one do that before. I guess it's the vibration. Anyhow, just a little something to check.

Kinda interesting to see what one looks like inside.

So I guess it's just a bi-metal strip that curls up when it gets hot, and breaks the circuit, then makes it again when it cools off.
