Episode description

So today’s question is this: Can you use a circuit breaker as a switch? I bring this up because I heard a story today of a local woman using a breaker in her panel to turn her TV on and off to prevent the kids from watching it when they shouldn’t be.

Needless to say, the breaker won’t turn on anymore and she can’t turn her tv on because it was an old, hard to find breaker.

So, let’s go to the code.
