so about 12 noon today my breaker flips for my bedrooms. My room is in the room of the main breaker... its sealed off with poly i had to tarp zip it and open it up to get to it.
the breaker that flipped was a wierd long breaker with a hot going in as normal but had another neutral white wire going to a different screw below the main one and ANOTHER thicker coiled white wire coming out below that one that also hooked to the neutral.
for the life of me i couldnt figure out why it flipped and would reset... then i look at the very top breaker... it has water pooled on it.... o shit right? lol then i see whats happening is there was a small drip that is not going on any more but u can see residue on where it dripped on the bottom of the main breaker and runs left and right fall down the box... well it flipped this breaker cause its long and the drip landed on it and made the breaker wet.
the real question is how the fuck do i have water in my electric box? is it a bad seal on the roof or where ever it comes in? i dont believe my room has anything to do with it...
i could use some advice....
