Default All circuit breakers off but still have power
wrote:
I have only 1 circuit breaker panel. I was tiling and need to shut off
the power to my counter outlet. I turned off every breaker but still
had power. How is this possible? Can a breaker fail and continue to
supply power to an outlet when powered off?

Are you in a multi-unit building where the outlet could be wired to a
neighbor's meter? Try running a high current appliance like a toaster
and see if the meter disc spins faster.
