Thank you Chuck, Mark, Russel, and Dave!

Well… It appears to be effective, if not properly rated… :smiley:

That’s awesome Robert!
Thanks for sharing it!

I’ll share this breaker assortment with you.

Wow - where do I begin???
Picture 1 - The service neutral was broken - As Paul Abernathy has said “One of the true electrical emergencies”.
Picture 2 - Not mine, but submitted for your amusement.
Picture 3 - An open junction box with live exposed wires in a childrens play area.
Picture 4 - A trusty “NeverBlow” pipe fuse.
Picture 5 - SEC wrapped around an AC unit (which was not grounded).
