Nope... Breakers will trip anyway, and many essential circuits are locked on with actual breaker locks, tying the breaker on like that will NOT keep the circuit on if it trips/overloadsUmmmmmm, kidding right?

I am 100% sure about it, electrician for 13 years.. Some cases are, critical computers in an office building and many areas require it for the fire alarm system circuit.You sure about that? If that’s the case, then why lock it like that (other than for funnies)?
I realize it still trips, thought there was an NEC ref that doesn't allow that. Learn something new every day. Thanks.Nope...

Some ignorant people will do that thinking they can sneak 20amps on a 15 amp breaker but, that aint gonna work.
