    While I am asking basic question - here is 1 more

    What protection does a CU main switch offer? Is it just a switch or does it offer overload protection too? I have asked a few sparks, and every one said it offers overload. When pressed for what would cause it to disconnect they did not know. So anyone know anything about this?
