Will turning off the main breaker turn off all the power to the circuit breaker box?
No. Power to all the circuit breakers will be cut off except for the Main power breaker. The Main power breaker (which supplies power to all other breakers and will say 100, or whatever your max breaker box power is, on it )will have power going to it all the time, unless power is turned off outside the house.
What is open on fault?
There are isolation devices (Circuit breakers) meant to cut off or OPEN automatically when a fault occurs. The breaker has "opened" on fault.
Circuit breakers are used for what?
Circuit breakers prevent excessive current from flowing in the circuit by "tripping" when the current exceeds the circuit breaker rating. This causes the current to be cut off, and is used to protect the wiring as well as the appliances.
Why circuit breaker are connected in series with load?
Because it needs to be able to cut the power to the load. That's why circuit breakers are always the first piece of equipment in a circuit after the power supply.
What do circuit breakers and fuses have in common?
Both fuses and circuit breakers cut off a circuit from its power supply when the total current through the circuit exceeds the current rating of the fuse or circuit breaker, usually due to a short to ground or overloading of the circuit. Both use materials that respond to heat.
What does the red line on the breaker box mean?
If you are talking about the breakers inside the box (switches) it means that particular circuit exceeded it's limit in amperage and "tripped" the circuit breaker. This most often occurs when you have started an appliance or some electric apparatus. So first you must unplug whatever you suspect caused the breaker to trip and then "reset" the breaker by flipping it all the way to off then back to on. The red line should be gone. Try whatever you initially plugged in when it tripped and see if it functions normally. If it trips again you should call a licensed electrician to trouble shoot that circuit.

The fan breakers are prone to failure causing the fan not to work. Under the seat towards the rear it is a gray box with two blue wires coming off of it. The "fins" like to break off. Cut that breaker out and replace it with a 15 amp automotive inline fuse and you should be good to go.
How can I properly run wire from the meter to the breaker box?
To properly run wire from the meter to the breaker box, you should first turn off the power at the main breaker. Then, carefully measure and cut the appropriate length of wire. Next, strip the ends of the wire and connect them to the appropriate terminals in the meter and breaker box. Finally, secure the wire in place and turn the power back on to test the connection. It is important to follow all local electrical codes and regulations when performing this task.
Can too much current on a breaker cause it to blow up?
The breaker will trip to the off position because of the heat caused by more amps than it is rated for. Only lightening strikes do odd things. And a loose breaker connection can arch causing limited damage to breakers. <<>> Only under extreme circumstances, like a lightning strike to the mast head. Breakers have a current interrupting rating. For a small home distribution breaker rated at 15 amps, it has an maximum RMS symmetrical interruption of 10,000 amperes. The breaker will not blow up but it will stop the current flow up to 10,000 amps. Under normal operation the breaker will trip when it reaches its operational set point, meaning that when the load current goes beyond the breakers rating, which is found on the handle, it will disconnect the circuit load.
Can you have two cutoff switches for a central AC and can you have a 220 line run from the breaker box to an inside cutoff then to the outside cut off and finally to the AC unit?
Yes
How do you get into the locked cavern on six island?

Is there a main breaker in side the breaker box?
The main breaker kicks off in your electrical box because you are using more electricity than it can handle. If it is set for 100 watts and you are trying to use 125 watts, it will kick off. You can call your electrical company and ask for an electrical audit. There might be things you can do such as not run the washing machine, the dryer, the dishwasher, the stove, the vacuum cleaner, and every other appliance in the house all at once.
