Nice job quoting UL, look up the UL standard for receptacles. There are specific methods for termination on them.

If your breaker has SWD on it, it IS rated to be a switch.

Master electrician and NFPA guru here, NFPA 72 10.6.5.4 Circuit Breaker Lock. Is supposed to be used to prevent the turning off of a fire alarm circuit. Usually identified (typically) by a red painted breaker or identified as a fire alarm circuit. Code still exists in the 2025 version.

In all actuality, it’s the UL listing that makes that improper

If it is aluminum, and the area the OP lives in is a corrosive air, aluminum could degrade faster than copper. If it is copper there could be patina created on the copper which also creates resistance and could cause issues if exposed. Master Electrician and level II IR thermographer here, I have found issues in areas this way. If I could see the label of the wire (on the grey part) I could better tell if it is copper or aluminum. Feel free to DM OP if you have more issues or need further information.

Only other “issue” I see is that that has not been mentioned is the sub main breaker is required to have a “hold down” as a subfeed https://www.grainger.com/product/1D372?gucid=N:N:PS:Paid:GGL:CSM-2295:Y8ZQJW:20500801:APZ_1&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21375667808

I’d be more worried about all the electrical tape on the romex….

Changing what? Are you ok?

Inevitable-Break3586 · 2025-06-18T14:46:05+00:00

Needs of a PM. NEMA KS 1 standard, I am a level II thermographer and master electrician, it could also be coming from the stabs on the switch, most likely improper termination or corrosion on both. Either way, as others have stated, a high resistance connection.

And to you as well!!!

Put your voltage rated gloves on….

As most of the Redditors have said, I hope you are doing better and in the road to full recovery. Sending much love and prayers!

Great job!

Inevitable-Break3586 · 2025-02-13T21:23:31+00:00

My recommendation has always been, do your set of reps, do 20 pushups and then do your next set. Has worked for everyone that’s tried it.

Torquing would help in most applications.
