Today i accidently touched hot and the grounded wire. Bam,sparks,smoke...However. the 15Amp breaker did not trip.This is the first time i have seen this happening.

All i could make out from the cover plate:
AMERICAN ELECTRIC or AMERICAN (something)
It started with AMERICAN.

Advised the client to change the subpanel.

Edward.

Thanks
Edward
