What is difference between shunt trip and ground fault circuit breaker?
Ground fault breakers monitor the current on the neutral wire flowing back to the neutral bar, a 4 to 6mA difference will trip the breaker, Shunt trip breakers on the other hand can be tripped remotely from some other type of switch or location. In industrial applications it is used to shut power off in an emergency situation, when access to an electrical panel may denied.
What is function of damping relay in circuit breaker?
The anti-pumping relay is a device in circuit-breaker whose function is to prevent multiple breaker closures. For instance, if the operator gives the closing command to the breaker by pressing the close button and the breaker closes. However, a fault in the system causes the breaker to trip. Since the close command is still in the pressed condition, there is a chance of the breaker closing again and being tripped by the relay multiple times. This can damage the closing mechanism of the breaker. The anti-pumping relay prevents this by ensuring that the breaker closes only once for one close command from the control panel.
What is the difference between rated current In and tripped current?
"Rated current" is the current the device (motor or transformer?) is designed to handle at full load. "Tripping current" is the current where a protective device (fuse, breaker) will open to protect the device from overload/overheating. "Tripped current", may be the current the tripping device measured prior to making the decision to trip, if you are reading this from a digital protective device like a relay or OCR.
The light on my gfi outlet is dim and sometimes out i am getting no power to it but the circuit breaker is not tripped i just replaced the gfi and it didn't help any ideas?
If the GFI outlet is tripped (the outlet, not the breaker) then it is telling you there is a ground fault which must be fixed. If the GFI outlet is not tripped, and the breaker is not tripped, but it is still not providing power, then you have a loose connection or a wiring error.
Do some electrical breakers when they are tripped go into the off position instead of the normal tripped position I have a cutler hammer breaker that tripped but is in the off position?
Some breakers can trip totally off. If the breaker is continually turning off without a wiring issue, then the breaker could be going bad.

Possible electrical problem will my microwave oven be okay?
Check the circuit breaker to see if it tripped.
How do you find a triped circuit?
Check the circuit panel / breaker box. The tripped breaker should be partway between 'OFF' and 'ON'. If nothing else, turn the breakers off then on, one at a time and when the tripped breaker is reset, the circuit should be live again. Also check GFI outlets. If one is in fault condition, it will need to be reset. If the tripped GFI outlet is protecting other outlets, they will come back when the tripped GFI is reset. These sockets seem to hide in many cases... Behind microwave ovens for example or refrigerators.
