Fire Hazard Breaker
I just found out that the circuit breaker box that I have installed in my
place just doesn't work. How do I know? Recently I had a situation
where the breaker should have tripped, instead it burnt up the wiring
in the receptacle. Really scary considering it could have caused a fire.
The brand is Sylvania which I found out used to be Zinsco. The breaker box
was 25 years old and they did discontinue the defect breaker at some point.
So if you have an older Zinsco or Sylvania breaker get it checked out by an electrician.
