This breaker is in my hallway. The wires run through the ceiling, but are NOT live. I took out my daughters closet to see where the rest of the wires were going, but there was just an empty casing. I don't want to start pulling the wires (also in a casing) through the ceiling if I don't know where they go to. I don't want to tear my ceiling apart either. Any one have any ideas?

Hook it up to my neighbors place for the next time their hydro electric power is cut off. This will save them from plugging into my outside outlet.

LOL, But could you imagine the wires running down the whole park. At least I could shut them down when ever I felt like it.

That looks to me like an industrial disconnect box. Don't tell me Bubba inc. has branched into home electrical. Greg

We were thinking that the first couple years of our trailers life, it was in a camp, or meant for a camp of sorts, and that was put in to shut off power to the compound or yard area. We assumed this from some old letters I found in behind the closet. We can't tell if the wiring was removed from behind the closet, or just never finished. Then, the trailer was moved into this park.

I really have no idea what to do with it.

Hi,

Might be best to either leave it alone, or if you must have it gone then call an electrician.
