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?

I have two electric companies in my area. One installs case hardened locks
on the meter boxes, the other just uses a wire tag. With the locks, I have
to cut the overhead conductors, then rebug them when I'm finished. This one
was a tag type, so I just pulled the meter

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.
