[C38] What happened?

[D McC]

Patrick,

We have the original power panel and the only 30A AC breaker is in the upper left corner of the panel. It trips long before the 30A breaker at the dock. If the dock breaker trips, it appears to still be in the ON position. It has to be forced into the OFF position in order to be reset to ON. I am not going to divulge how long it took me to figure that one out the first time it happened........
