DC turns on after power outage

[Steve Clardy]

I have a subpanel so i will just keep the breaker off when not there. I was just wondering if anyone had this happen to them.

Yes, mine has came on numerous times, usually at night. I made my own remote years ago. 04-05?
It started this a couple years ago. Some other signal is turning it on. I put a toggle switch on the remote box when I built it, so I toggle the remote off when I leave the shop.
Numerous times the wife has nudged me while laying in bed, saying *your collector is running*. Lol

Breakers are not designed to be used as switches and will wear out quickly. If you need to do this it is better to wire a DPDT switch in line with the outlet.
