Situation: Have a mobile home I use only in the summer. It is fed from the pole to a main 60AMP breaker than then feeds panels inside the mobile home.
This spring, half of the main breaker was tripping. Replaced main breaker (60A) with a 50A breaker by mistake. No big deal, or so I thought.
Main is still tripping -- but only HALF is tripping! I thought these things had internal mechanisms to make sure they always threw both legs and not just one.
Trying to get an electrician, but quickly finding out that around these parts if it isn't a "large" job then nobody is interested. I've called
6 places and not one call back.Electric company is no help. Keep telling them I SWEAR I smell the meter "burning" when this trip helps. It smells like the meter itself has burning insulation or plastic inside it.
Any ideas on what to check next? Could something be wrong at the meter?
