When you shut off the main breaker there is still "HOT" power between the
breaker and the outside of the house "Road Power" So the inside of where you
want to install a new breaker is "DEAD"


Unless the panel is an older "Split Bus" panel as was explained.
In that case, replacing any one of the 6 disconnect breakers
is done "Live" and can be extremely dangerous!
