Re: Popped Main Breaker

We think it arced between power out and ground in because the nut holding down the lead was welded to the bolt.
We had 4 CIM's, 2 RS 775's, and two window motors that didn't operate too much.
It seemed like a freak accident and never happened again, but the field crew was pretty surprised to see a smoking breaker. After I found out the rest of the electrical components were OK, I thought it was pretty cool too.
