Yeah, I remember that. They had a few rounds of furstrated confusion on why that was happening. They were using some kind of liquid gas in a can to cool down their motors and breakers. I guess they got so cold that they condensed, and water can do some pretty nasty things when mixed with electricity. Overall though, I think the 40 amp breakers were great. Used one on each of our 4 motors and we were fine. Never broke them, or caused the "magic smoke" from our motors.
