Thanks Ron, I wasn't overly sure where the dialectric or the
breakdown point at which the insulating value would be over run by
the current. I would certianly do my level best to never touch the
busbar with both hands, but more a possible rub against it or

Hi Dale,
thanks that's about what I thought and it's nice to have
confirmation. I am sure we don't have aluminum wire, if we did
I'd be in there right now to be sure nothing has gone high
resistance.
I always hate to turn off all the power if i don't have too, so
much junk needs resetting

>From your post I'm inclined to believe you have a fuse box rather than a
breaker box? If it were a breaker box I would suggest turning off all power
via the main breaker, but not having dealt with a fuse box in decades I

In our 1960s build duplex, we have a single outlet and a hall
light that have failed. Due to this failure I moved the portable
heater which was the only thing on that outlet to anothere socket,
unknowingly putting it on the same circuit as a bathroom ceiling
fan/heater combo. Not surprisingly when
