With circuit breakers, the trip position is in between 'off' and 'on', so you have to actually turn it further off than it had been to clear the trip, so that you can turn it on. If you don't know about that, you'll think it's on, but it's still tripped.

Hey Chat - if you've never dealt with breakers... You don't just flip em back on. You have to switch them ALL the way off (and that might take some force) to reset the switch before it can be switched on again. FYI.
And some breakers you have to push the handle past off in order to reset the trip mechanism. It will say on the breaker and usually on the label on the inside of the load center door if this is the case.
@@spk1121 That, or the fact that sometimes the switches on the opposite side have opposite polarity. I.e. the switches on the left have to be toggled right to be ON, but the switches on the right have to be toggled left to be ON, and she didn't realize.

I have a vague impression that Pippa is former British. If right it could be a contributing factor because the have a different system and their breaker boxes tend to have rows instead of columns, with the on direction being a uniform up.
The fact that some of the breaker switches were off when the electrician checked them tells me they probably tripped off on their own. I'd guess Pippa had only ever seen breakers get fixed by switching them off and on again so she assumed that the spots she found them in were all in the "on" position and just toggled them twice every time.

This happened to me recently in my house. Power went out for about 15 minutes and came back on, but only half the electric in the house was working. Certain switches on dedicated circuits weren't working while some outlets on the same circuit were, the heat pump and furnace were buzzing like they were about to explode, and all the working lights were dim. I flipped the breaker for the stuff that was making funny noises and walked over to my UPS to see what it was doing. 147 volts input... If you aren't aware 120v is standard in the US. I killed power to the house and the pump house and called the power company. Never got a call back but switched things back on after about a half hour with no issues and no damage to electronics. To this day I still don't know what happened but a lot of shit wasn't happy with 147v coming into the house. Thank god for my UPS, as my computer was on at the time and that sustained level of voltage probably would have wounded or killed it. My monitors are plugged into my UPS now as well. I was too busy diagnosing shit and then shutting things down to bother with my computer that had dead monitors.
Sometimes when you flip the breakers they don't flip all the way. You have to make sure. I've had that problem, where some get fussy and you have to give it special attention because it doesn't want to go all the way. They look flipped but they'll just slowly go to the other side if not "locked" properly.
Given that the breakers worked for the electrician and not for her when doing the exact same thing, that points to an intermittent fault. It could be that she had too much stuff on and kept tripping the breaker for that circuit, or there is a problem deeper in the house.
Doubt it. All electricity went out at once, so she probably thought it was a local fault and started randomly flipping breakers when it was actually a local grid failure.
Remember kids, most breakers actually have labels telling you whether they're on or off. There's also a good chance the breaker box has a legend telling you what each breaker powers.
This happens because when a breaker is triggered it only goes to the center position, to turn it on you first need to switch it all the way to the right position, then back to the left position.
