yeah, i know. just means circuit breaker trips to protect circuit ie wires . sometimes a sparky can see what wiring is there and know its ok to put high rated circuit breaker in . bout the only cheap way out of it unless throw cheap appliances out lol @Former-Member modern kmart stuff good for tripping things out..

@TAB the circuit breaker is new. I hardly had any appliances on last night when it flipped the switch. Will be vigilant. Will go and check if theres any smoke or discoloration around the circuit. If it does it again will have to have an electrician in. The new circuit breaker was put in when I had aircon installed so its only a few years old now TAB

what actually did happen was I tried to prepare for it and that stuffed me up . like 2 different conversations then unexpected question blows it up lol @Former-Member I need to get over myself. fine to do sketches/make fun. was thinking open all hours where the customer was talking to themselves basically as shopkeeper would say completely random things as he knew they werent listening to him.. the only point of the transaction that 'meshed' ..was the ..transaction .. bit like my trip to PO today .. ba ha ha lol

it could have failed @Former-Member . they are like a gate, too much current and they turn off. maybe its damaged and turns off at a lower current . all made in china now anyway prob never worked properly ..

Yes I must admit it looks cheap compared to the rugged 70's design of my old circuit breaker @TAB which I found disappointing when I flipped the switch back on again this morning. My electricity is working and I've switched off appliances at the wall apart from appliances I need on. But had kind of been doing that anyway using my Emerald Powersaver bluetooth device which is synched to my phone so I know how much power I'm using. If it happens again tomorrow I'll definitely have someone in. Have been checking out local electricians in the yellow pages. Possibly need a hardcopy of a yellow pages book for my area if the SHTF

Yeah it’s that being caught with a different than expected comment that gets us, I think! @TAB ☺️
oh, I totally remember open all hours - loved that underlying tone of never being listened to hahaha 😁🙌🏻
well, I hope you can look at it with some smirks of mirth, TAB ☺️🌺
