Big-Z tin-plated(?) aluminum busbar extrusions seemed to have a propensity to “scab over”, like they hadn’t been cleaned of inherently corrosive chemicals very well after the plating bath. It was sort of a coarse, blotchy grey-white ‘crust’ on the breaker-pinch contact surfaces. Their products were nothing short of a scourge to the industry in NorCal.

As I'm writing this, I just came back from replacing a Crouse-Hinds 100A main that refused to reset.. I associate that name with traffic signals. Did they make a lot of general electrical distribution gear as well?

You said it best Randy. the breakers just dont get along with the phasebar. you are not alone though we see this alot in Northern Cali too.

PaulUK.... Ive seen everything from conduit bodies to panel boards to receptacles to really old traffic signals made by Crouse-Hinds/Arrow Hart.. Tim & I come across these things almost daily out here in the Golden State...

Wow what a site that www.handymanusa.com is. All the years I wasted getting formal training. Now the INTERNET tells me I just needed to watch an Electrician to be capable. These guys are as bad as the orange roof store for advice!!!! [This message has been edited by capt al (edited 09-07-2004).]

Isn't it interesting that the one answer says have an electrician install a breaker, then the next describes installing a sub-panel and changing the breakers. No mention of PPE.
