I took the breaker out yesterday to take to the local RONA but they were closed and it wont happen tonight either. Monday
The breaker was kind of strange, it actually had three circuits on one "block".
------------------------
- 15 amp breaker
- 40 amp breaker ! The two 40 amps were joined by a common bar.
- 40 amp breaker !
- 15 amp breaker
------------------------
I have seen two 40 amps joined by common bar before, I think that is standard but I have never seen the 40 amp breakers bracketed by two 15 amp breakers. The whole thing was huge and occupies 4 slots on the panel. My tank is on one of the common 15 amp breakers but it has never tripped.
The townhouse is about 9 years old, we have had it for almost 2 years now.
