Function of molded case circuit breaker?
== == == == == == To open a circuit during an overcurrent event, thus protecting the cabling and devices connected to it.
What is a circuit breaker connected in?
it is connected in a box
What is the equivalent resistance of the parallel circuit you have connected?
In principle, it is infinite. I have not connected a parallel circuit in ages.
Must wires be connected to breaker box?
It should be connected to circuit breaker. Circuit breaker will automatically discontinue the flow of electricity if it detects faulty condition.
How do you identify the circuit breaker?
circuit breakers are connected in series manner in the circuit.
Will a circuit breaker function properly if it is back fed?
Yes. The circuit breaker "does not care" which direction the current comes from. It is capable of protecting the circuit in any case.
How are the loads in parallel circuit connected?
Parallel to each other.
A GFCI device in a breaker is intended to?
A GFCI device in a breaker is intended to trip the breaker open when a ground fault is sensed in the circuit that the breaker is protecting.
What is a circuit in which loads are connected side by side?
A circuit in which loads are connected side by side is known as a parallel circuit.
If additional resistance is connected in parallel with a circuit the supply voltage will decrease?
If additional resistance is connected in parallel with a circuit the supply voltage will decrease?
What happens to supply voltage if additional resistance is connected in parallel circuit?
No change in supply voltage as additional resistance is connected in parallel circuit.
What will happen if a phase and neutral test by a mutimeter shows continuity?
If the test shows that there is a continuity between the phase leg and the neutral with no load connected, then that circuit should not be energized. If the circuit was energized then the fuse or breaker protecting that leg will trip the circuit open.
