Thanks to Kyle Bishop for this suggestion. Go sub to his channel! He does the same crazy antics that I perform:)
Here's his channel link: / @kylebishop6233
DO NOT ATTEMPT THESE EXPERIMENTS!!!!

Awesome! I was wondering what would happen. Great video Ryan. A bit concerning that they broke down at 2kV! I tried this and only have 3500V at the moment and nothing happened with our UK BS standard CU breakers. Now you gotta connect them to a juicy cap bank and blow them to bits. I like you you do a bit of talking at the start now, i prefer vids like that. Thanks for the shout out by the way mate. Have you or anyone else got any suggestions on a vid you would like either me or Ryan to do? Both of us are batshit crazy lol. Ha ha, take care all :))

Yeah, from a personal standpoint, these breakers are crap, they are being replaced wildly to newer and better breakers which of course are a lot safer and better performing. The breakers you guys have in Europe I really like though. That's the only thing missing from this channel is a cap bank blowing things to bits. I need to get something that'll store gobs of energy. I have recently did a video zapping yellow jackets, I'll be posting that soon;) You are welcome for the shoutout:)

You literally popped those breakers. Nice! I wonder how many volts a wall switch could handle, or a lighting contactor. I thought about doing something similar with a mechanical plug-in timer, but haven't had the time to make any vids lately. That idea's all yours if you want it.

Unfortunately that wasn’t a sub panel. It was a main service panel for homes from 1960 to the 70s.

Horrible things, my old place had one for the longest time. So many issues to shake a stick at.

They say for 120 240 volts any way consult with certified electrical professionals before doing electrical work

You should apply 1.5kV to an entire panel loaded full of breakers, turn off every breaker one by one, and watch it go up in nice, bright flames.

problem is with that is if all the breakers were sharing, it would all be narrowed down to one breaker, because their all sharing, turning them off one by one would not destroy until you get to the last breaker that would open the final circuit allowing all current to pass through it, good idea though.
