Yes but that is only a hobby. Filling JFT's mouf is a calling and a potential occupation

Lophosaurus said: The main is one single breaker. Not two strapped together. Some breakers you can connect together or take apart, but not all of them. One example is a sq d homeline 240v breaker is sold as one breaker. Inside the breaker there is a mechanism to detect a fault in each leg. Is that what you are trying to say?
Stonehenge's description, while in-artful, is correct. Externally, it will often look like one breaker (another brand may look like two separate breakers fastened together).

Sometimes there is but a single handle.

In either case, internally, there is the functional equivalent of two parallel breakers sandwiched into one case. Both internal breakers are tied together so they trip simultaneously. This is so no one is harmed while working on the system.
It sounds like in the OP's case, one of the two legs (breakers) inside the main was defective.
That was what I was saying
No, you and the others said the main was only one breaker not two, not two built together. One of these days you will admit when you are wrong and everyone will be shocked.

Every panel I have ever seen the main breaker is one unit. And I have seen more than a few. You cannot trip one leg off if you wanted to. Please shut up, Helmut

Are you being deliberately stupid zappa? I already said it was one unit, sometimes 2 breakers strapped together and sometimes both built into one. LDS gave links so that even the stupid could understand, or so I thought.
>You cannot trip one leg off if you wanted to.
Which is exactly what I said. Piss off, Adolph.

Sounds like a wiring issue. I would start with. Shutting off power to the room you are having a problem with. Open all the outlets and check all splices. If i had to guess it sounds like. You may have a bad splice or an open neutral. Inbx me if you want to talk. I am a electician.

He's already solved his problem. Now people are just bitching at each other over petty shit.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline
