Turning off breaker is dangerous?

[Richpatty]

Ok. Was at NIRVC last week and saw this on their electric hookups.

Thoughts?

My understanding was breaker off anytime connecting/disconnecting as the arcing potential is the danger or fingers on prongs? That sign seems to lead to more danger.

 

[Richpatty]

I agree…. Which is why I was so puzzled. I think they just don’t want their breakers to wear out…

Unless it’s meant for the groundskeeper and other employees that turn off breakers when an owner is inside the Rv.

They don’t want to be like the last guy that got yelled at by a customer, thus the danger sign.

 

[Neal]

Can you even open it? It looks like it may be taped closed.

 

[Richpatty]

Yea… you can open them so you can plug in. I could have shut them off, but obeyed the sign…. Reluctantly.

Someone should ask. This goes against everything I've been told/learned.
