What is wrong when you switch from fan to air conditioner and it shuts the breaker in the electricity box?

You're actually OPENING the breaker. And it means you're drawing too much power. 1 air conditioner=about 10 box fans.
Try unplugging things using the same circuit. An air conditioner draws a lot of juice. An A/C and a microwave, for example, are too much for most homes to handle. Your breaker box should (hopefully) tell you what breaker goes where.

How do you wire a shunt trip breaker so you can test trip it?
There are per-engineered shunt trip solutions such as the Littelfuse LPSM that have a transformer that isolates the line voltage from the control voltage. You simply wire the N.O. contact on the float in the shunt trip isolated contacts.
What does a vacuum switch do in a pellet stove?
The vacuum switch in a pellet stove is a safety feature. If the exhaust pipe or vent becomes clogged it creates positive pressure to the vacuum switch, the switch then activates and shuts down the pellet feed or the whole stove itself. This keeps your family safe from carbon-monoxide poisoning.
What devices shutdown immediately if a short circuit occurs?
A circuit breaker shuts down and can be reset. (A fuse does not "shutdown", it fails, or blows, or breaks and cannot be reused.) "Immediately" usually has a small delay and nothing is instantaneous.
Why does an outdoor light shut off?
It could be that you have a bad connection behind the fixture. If the wire nut is loose you will have voltage, but not as much current making the light dim. If the connection is bad, then it gets hot, the hotter it gets, the worse the connection can get. You get the picture. Also, the porcelain or bakelite plastic socket the bulb goes into has rivets at the base of it up inside the fixture. Sometimes these can become loose causing the same situation as above.
Why does LCD display on the thermostat AC in the house periodically shuts off happens more during the summer then after a few hours it turns back on and the AC kicks in?
Generally speaking, a thermostat should command an air conditioner (or a furnace) to turn off once the thermometer inside the thermostat senses that the a given temperature has been reached. For example, if you have manually set your thermostat at 75 degrees, the thermostat's job from that point on is to maintain that temperature, or a temperature within one or two degrees of that. If the thermostat didn't turn the air conditioner off periodically the house would get much cooler than desired; using up a large amount of (expensive) electricity, and over burdening the air conditioner compressor, prematurely wearing it out leading to a costly repair bill. You might look at as the thermostat giving the air conditioner a rest and your wallet a break. Many, if not most thermostats also serve another role which is to safeguard the electronic startup up equipment and motor of the air conditioning unit. You might experience this when attempting to turn the air conditioner back on within a few minutes of it having turned off. This is a built in safeguard feature which protects certain delicate components inside your air conditioner from premature burnout or an electrical overload. If you experience this it's best to wait ten minutes or so for the safety system to reset. Hope this answer was helpful. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the reply, but when I said it "Shuts Off" it means that the Thermostat LED goes blank, as if there is no power to the syste.

How do automatic sprinklers work?
It uses a programmed switch box that can be set to come off and on at certain times. The switch, when on, regulates electricity that shuts on/off valves to water. The sprinklers turn or operate from the water pressure itself. Some people have this system rigged to solar panels to use the sun's energy.
