I had an unusual situation. In order to work on a 240 volt circuit, I turned a two pole Federal Pacific breaker to the off position. The circuit remained hot. I checked the terminals on the load side of the breaker and they were hot. I had to remove the breaker to work on the circuit. I replaced the breaker.
I turned this breaker on and off several times to no effect. Is this possible? Is it possible for a breaker to not break the connection when in the off position?
