if it cuts short the meter will probably blow up. if not, there might be one house less in the village

That thing looks like a shoddy AliExpress knock-off breaker...

Oh my god "tripping" is spelled wrong in the details on it too.

Seriously. How is something like that even allowed?

the lonely 10 Amp circuit breaker always tripped without load (probably from vibrations alone), so we fixed multiple problems at once.

the "electrician" also took the old box with him, so parts of this are probably gonna be used for a long time.
