So I setup the electricity in my cabin in the jungle, I have access to 220V from the community. I connected it to a circuit breaker switch at the front of my house, I had electricity in my house when I left it, but I went travelling for 6 months, other people used my house in that time, now that Ive come back the electricity doesnt work. Its definitely the breaker switch.
My multimeter reads about 200V AC when I touch the top screws only when the breaker is OFF, when I turn the breaker on, it reads 1 or 2 volts, which is what it outputs too. Look at the pictures I attached.
The bottom screws read 2V also, so the breaker is not working properly. Does this mean I need to get a new breaker switch, or can I fix it? Why would it break like that after only 6 months?
