Why and how is water dripping from inside the circuit breaker box?
Some of my circuit breakers got wet one night because all my tv's, my computer and my home security system went out. I opened the circuit breaker box and found the breakers on the right side were wet. I replace only one breaker that would not work after drying all of them off and putting them back in. The box is in the hallway next to it is the thermostat and next to that is the boiler room. Im in a condo apartment on the third floor and my ceilings are in good shape, no water damage at all. Where could the water come from when it leaks from one of the wires that is incased inside the conduit pipe?
The standoff is the stack the comes into the building, usually on the roof. Everything is sealed from there to the box. The stackhead is probably leaking through the conduit and into the box.A linesman has to repair this because it has to be done hot or the utility company has to cut the power from the pole. I think the power co. is responsible for this. Check it out.

HOW TO MAKE GLASS MUSHROOM PENDENT WITH BACK GROUND
India Real Estate - Buildings That Will Cause Thousands of Deaths Incase of an Quake
Last two years has seen an increased number of conferences and workshops on earthquake risk mitigation and this has resulted in valued interaction amongst members of the scientific/engineering community specializing in earthquake related issues. Most of these formal gatherings have aimed at better understanding of earthquake effects on the built environment and the mitigation techniques that need to be adopted.
The engineering fraternity has been unanimous in identifying the building category which is considered the most vulnerable amongst all of the engineered buildings in our country today - ‘Buildings on Stilts’. A simpler explanation would be buildings that have an open ground floor area and which on most occasions are used as car park.
Constructing multi storey buildings with open ground floor is a common practice in all cities as the ground floor car park area is not counted in the building FAR/FSI by the municipality while sanctioning the plans.
If not all majority of the buildings on stilts will collapse in the event of a major quake whether it is zone 3, 4 or 5. To make matters worse all of these buildings are multi storey and hence the casualty rate would be much higher when compared to a low rise building.
The fatal casualties due to collapse of this single building type would be in thousands. What happened to buildings in Ahmedabad when an earthquake struck Bhuj is a live testimony.
One may ask is the Government aware of this grave problem and if so what’s it doing about it? However the answer is not as simple as even though the Government is fully conversant with the problem the Frankenstein has become so large that most feel it is an issue easier brushed under the carpet rather than have to deal with it.
The irony of the matter is that even though we are not ready to deal with this issue which has the potential of becoming a nightmare just yet, with each passing day it keeps getting bigger as more of the similar unsafe building stock is getting added to our cities.
The problem isn’t insurmountable if one has the resolve and approaches it in a systematic and time bound manner. To start with the Government will have to generate awareness amongst the masses through print and electronic media that all buildings on stilts be prima-fascia considered unsafe until a safety certificate is issued by a structural consultant. In most Indian cities multistory buildings are constructed and continue to be constructed on 9 to 12 inch thick columns which are highly inadequate even by Zone 3 standards. These buildings will come crashing down in the event of a major quake.
The Government should then ensure that the owners/occupants are guided to having a structural audit done for their building so as to positively identify those at risk that will need structural retrofit to upgrade.
Based on the computer analysis the engineer can recommend a retrofit methodology which can then be handed over to the owners of the building for implementation. Once this process is completed the responsibility of making the building safe should rest with the owners. As an incentive the Government can evaluate the possibility of tax incentives on the amount spent on retrofit.
