DÃ®ner en Blanc: People will wear white and dine at a mystery location. But first, they ask questions. Some 400 white-clad diners converged in the Distillery District for a dry run last year of Toronto's own Diner en Blanc. This year's event, at a secret location, will be much larger.
Breakers can be defective and create a hazard. This can happen if the humidity is high or water has gotten into the panel. If a breaker is tripped and will not reset even with all loads removed from the circuit, it is advisable to check it with a voltmeter or replace it.
Outages. Most of a circuit can stop working even when the breaker is on and is fine. The first thought most of us have when there is a circuit outage, is that a circuit breaker tripped off. Very few are aware of how part of a circuit can go dead from a poor connection. And sometimes this kind of outage can be temporary. Finding the bad spot is trickier than resetting a breaker. A common difficulty for which people contact me is an outage on one circuit that is not due to a tripped breaker or GFI.
