Is it possible or likely that a circuit breaker's mechanical motion
mechanism can lose reliability due to non-use? I think of my home breakers,
and until a couple of years ago, most of them might have not been tripped
for decades. Could corrosion, dust, dirt, old lubrication, etc, combine to
cause the breaker to 'stick' at a time when it should trip? Would cycling
them, say yearly, at least, enhance reliability?
