Challenger?) The breaker tripping was a sign you should have stopped. Also generally, one experiments with the aim to stop at the first combination that works, right? Well, many combinations will work and then kill you. With electrical, be Tesla not Edison - think, don't spam. | |

You can edit those into your question, please don't post them as an "answer". | |
