Can a circuit breaker be tripped by using 20 amp sockets instead of 15 amp sockets?
A circuit breaker protects the wires that the devices are connected to. If the devices that are connected to the circuit are 20 amps the wire size should be #12 wire fed from a 20 amp breaker. This breaker should not trip unless the circuit is overloaded or a fault occurs on the circuit. If the devices that are connected to the circuit are15 amps the wire size should be #14 wire fed from a15 amp breaker. This breaker should not trip unless the circuit is overloaded or a fault occurs on the circuit. Putting 20 amp sockets on this 15 amp circuit will work but the circuit is limited to the amount of load that can be plugged in. You will not get the full capacity of the 20 socket because the breaker will trip at 15 amps.
What do tripped circuit breaker and blown fuses indicate?
Blown fuses indicate overload in the electrical circuit. Possible short-circuit or higher input voltage.Tripped circuit breakers I guess means:A residual-current device (RCD), similar to a residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) which is used for breaking the circuit when electric current pass through a man or could cause fire/burning in the/near the electrical sockets.

What is electrical domestic circuit?
Answer for UK, Europe and countries running a 50 Hz supply service.It is a set of power cables carrying electric power round domestic premises.In the UK you might have a lighting circuit for the lights, a ring circuit for power sockets and a cooker circuit to supply the cooker. Typical ratings are 10 A for lights and 30 A for power and cooker circuits. Extra curcuits might be added for space-heating and a shower.Each of these circuits is separately fused to that if there is a fault leading to a blown fuse, not all the power disappears.
What happens if you overload plug sockets?
the circuit breaker will trip or fuse will blow to open the circuit.
What kind of circuit provides a path for current to wall sockets and appliances in a home?
parallel circuit
Need to know main circuit breakers ratings for cooker lights sockets and showers please?
Depends on Wattage P=VI I = P/V 10kW Shower = 10000/230 = 43.4 Amps (You would use a 50A MCB or RCBO)
How do add an extra socket without breaking the circuit?
The key is to ensure that a 15amp breaker has no more than 6 220-240V wall sockets,if more than 6, the extra sockets must be serviced by a different breaker to avoid overloading the D.B
Are circuit boards installed in long narrow slots on the motherboard called expansion cards?
Yes they are... The motherboard is a large, square circuit board, containing lots of sockets. Expansion cards are rectangular circuit boards that slot into the sockets on the motherboard.

What size cable for your 9700 watt cooker?
To answer this question the voltage of the cooker is needed.
What is the meaning of domestic wiring?
Domestic wiring - is the wiring circuits in a house. Basically the ring main (that supplies all the sockets), cooker and lighting circuits.
How do you cut an electric socket safely?
If you are not talking literally about cutting a socket and are referring about the sockets circuit, then all that needs to happen is, a switch needs to be cut into the circuit.
