[simpits-tech] Hot breaker!

[Matt Bailey]

Got an odd little issue on the Sabreliner. While doing electrical work,
I stupidly broke one of the terminals off a circuit breaker in the
overhead. Not to worry, I found what appeared to be an identical part
on that massive airplane junkyard: ebay.

Oddly, the breaker is heating up a lot. I have a number of other
breakers running the same sort of power (5vDC for cockpit lighting) and
NONE of the others are even warm to the touch. Is it possible for a
breaker to deteriorate such that it runs hot, but does not fail? Or
could it just be a cheap breaker?
