Oil residue on electrical breakers could be caused by leakage from nearby oil-filled equipment, improper application of a lubricant near the breakers, or a malfunction within the breaker itself leading to overheating and releasing oil. It is important to investigate and address the source of the oil to prevent potential safety hazards and damage to the electrical system.

Does Crayola dustless chalk leave an oil residue which is hard to remove?

Yes, the dustless chalk does leave an oily residue which is hard to remove. The reason for this is because in order to rid the chalks of dust producing qualities, moisture needs to be kept in the chalks. I recommend Mr Magic Eraser or a regular cleaner is fine. It needs to be something soapy to break through the grease.

How works oil circuit breakers?

A circuit breaker is a safety device that is put in an electrical circuit. When something fails, or shorts out, the circuit breaker "senses" the excessive current and automatically opens (or breaks) the circuit. They are used in homes, as well as some electrical devices. They are different than a fuse in that a circuit breaker can be reset. A fuse on the other hand, has to be replaced once it opens up. I hope this helps you. for more info, here is a web page about circuit breakers: <a href="http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-circuit-breaker.htm">Ciruit breakers</a>
