    Mysterious Breaker Operations

    this is a long shot, but what if your wiring run a way that would create a loop around your box. could it be possible that one of your high amp. motors might be going bad and be drawing more amps at higher loads enough to create an electro-magnet,creating sort of a soloniod.? there is some iron...
