How do you add more breakers to a main supply panel?

Where can you find a self resetting circuit breaker for 120vac 15amps?
If you are referring to circuit breakers used in residential or commercial building electrical systems, the answer is - you can't! What's more, you don't want to!Circuit breakers are a safety device. A 14 gauge wire can safely handle 15 amps. If there is a short circuit, or if an appliance or appliances are plugged in that uses more than 15 Amps, the wires would overheat and could start a fire. The circuit breaker trips to prevent this.The idea when a breaker trips is for you, the intelligent human, to go and look for the overload, and fix it before resetting the breaker. A mindless self-resetting breaker would just keep heating up the wire until a fire starts, defeating the purpose.If you have a breaker that continuously trips, don't just keep resetting it. Find out why it is tripping and fix it or have it fixed! This could save your life!
If you use a surge bar for the washer and dryer can you save electricity by turning off the surge bar?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz power supply service. I have never seen a surge bar that has the availability to connect a 30 amp circuit on it at 240 volts. These types of appliances use a dedicated circuit directly connected to the electrical panel. The washer usually has a 15 amp dedicated breaker and the dryer being 240 volt has a dedicated two pole 30 amp breaker. Maybe, but likely not significantly.Older equipment does not generally use power when they are turned off and this action does not save power.Some new equipment never turns off. This is especially true if it has a timer for delayed start. There will be a small power drain even when the unit appears to be off. However, turning of the unit will result in these features not working and potential reset of the setting each time the unit is shut off with the surge bar (power strip). The amount of current will generally be small in any case.That being said, during extended periods of absence (vacation), shutting down the equipment may be desirable despite the shutdown of the advanced features.
