I asked one of the CTRE people at the booth in St Louis. He said in effect that it was swarf that had gotten into the board. i forget the exact wording he used. Maybe some one with more direct knowledge will comment.

The current must run through the breaker in order to reach the wires, so yes they must have taken the breakers out (along side the rest of the wires). The point of the breakers is to cut off power to the wires in the case that they draw too much current, in which case it opens the circuit. In order to open the circuit the current has to run through the breaker.

The self reseting breakers used reset so fast that they don't actually cut power, just limit it.
