I went on a service call the other night. It was for a local CPA office. A few receptacle replacements and a couple of bad ballast. As it was still light outside I decided to shut off them main breaker to do my repairs. All was well until I finished and went back to turn the main breaker back on. The main would not reset!! By now it was 7 pm. To top it off the main was an old
QO and had to be ordered. I think that was one of the most aggravating calls that i have ever made. Needless to say the temp
repair that i had to make would not have
passed anyones inspection, but when faced with a situation like that what would you all do? I took the line wires out of the main, used polaris connectors to go down to a smaller awg and back fed the panel through a smaller breaker. The service was 200 amp.
