Then to 39 mins to see the explosion.

Fake mcbs and cables etc are a known issue, but this is the first time I've seen them demonstrated so graphically.

 

[Andy™]

Very frightening !! you often see electrical items for sale at car boots maybe they are legit ... I wouldn't chance it though . ray

 

[fletchflash]

That is bad!

i cant believe how bad it looks inside the breaker.

 

[Evans Electric]

Was that SP breaker just a switch or was it just linked out ? Could anyone tell what make it was supposed to be ?

 

[maselec]

It did look as though it was just linked from end to the other, no mechaniisms etc
