Default Partial power failure

Must have caught this one, in time. Worked till they day they moved. Which
was a couple months later.

Did you shut off the mains, by pulling the meter or something?

the panel. Tough to do, it was plenty corroded on. Clean the distribution
bars with sand screen. Pump a bunch of anti oxidant into the open slot end
of the breaker, and put it all back together. No further problems.


As long as you catch it before the buss metal is destroyed from overheating
that'll work. These Murray panels have bolt on main breakers, installed at
the factory. There was some antiox on the connection, so my guess is that
it's just a poor design. Murray no longer uses this type of main breaker.
