To test the breaker panel, I would remove all breakers, disconnect all of the wires, apply power and measure the ouitputs. You should get no voltage on the outputs until you insert the breakers.
we undid the screws mounting the victors and, even before then, we tested contenuity between all of the victors and any place on the frame: nothing.

I ment to move the discussion over here, but people want to post on both threads, so you might want to check both.

Update 4:00- compared our panel to someone elses and found the same numbers, suspect different problem. Panel must be good. Not getting a new one. Not yet...
