Bad switch or a short and tripped the breaker.
Yes, when using a generator line, electricity can still be consumed by any devices connected to the circuit, even if the main supply is turned off. The generator provides power to the connected devices, which will draw electricity as long as they are turned on. However, if only the fuse is used without connecting any devices, no electricity will be consumed from the generator.
In electrical circuits, a switch is always connected to the line wire to control the flow of electricity to a device. By interrupting the line wire, the switch can effectively turn the power on or off while ensuring that the load remains safe when the switch is off. Connecting the switch to the line wire also helps prevent electrical shock hazards, as the load is de-energized when the switch is in the off position. This configuration maintains proper circuit functionality and safety.
Some custom homes were wired with with the receptacles that were switched. The receptacle was in a circuit with a switch controlling the the voltage to the receptacle. These circuits were mostly installed in living rooms. Table lamps were plugged into them so that when a person comes into the room, one switch would turn all of the table lamps. It could be that this switch has been replaced and installed up side down. So that when the switch was turned to the up position it was really turning the receptacle circuit off.
First of all, the correct term is 'line' and not'phase' wire. The reason a switch is always placed in the line conductor, rather than in the neutral conductor, is that its function is not simply to break the circuit, but also to ensure that the circuit's load is disconnected from the line potential. If the switch were to be placed in the neutral conductor, it would still break the circuit, but the load will still be at line potential and present a shock hazard to anyone attempting to work on the load (e.g. to remove a lamp from its holder).
Your wiring is faulty. There must be a potential across the live switched side. Perhaps the switch is fitted in the neutral line in error. In which case the lamp is always live and some leakage to earth could illuminate the lamp. Have a qualified electrician check the circuits

When the engine is running in your car the pressure of the oil activates a switch that is fitted along the oil line. this switch turns of a light that would otherwise be on on the dash of your car whenever the ignition is turned on. If your oil pressure goes down because you are low on oil or because your oil pump is not working properly the light on the dash turn on intermittently or stays on.

Check the pump first.
THe telegraph key is a switch. Tapping it closes a circuit and send a pulse of electricity down the line. These taps are used to code messages.
yea its legal. as long as its in an easily accessable spot. like in the middle of the dash or something along that line.
There is never a switch installed in a neutral line.
Electricity.
The line side in a building's main electrical service panel is important because it is where the incoming electrical power from the utility company enters the building. This is where the main disconnect switch is located, which controls the flow of electricity into the building. Properly managing the line side ensures the safe and efficient distribution of electricity throughout the building.
High tension line so a stronger wire for more electricity to run through
