Yes.
In most cases, yes. If the circuit breaker continues to trip when there is no fault in the circuit, it may be failing and need to be replaced.

Which type of circuit breakers used in EHT applications?
SF6 circuit breaker
What are two methods used in most circuit breakers to protect electrical circuits?
There is a heated bimetallic strip that provides a time delay small overload protection. When its contact makes, it energizes a coil to trip the breaker. Some breakers are mechanical, though. There is a coil that trips the breaker instantly on large overload.
What metals are used in the construction of circuit breakers?
Copper, Brass and Aluminum.
How works oil circuit breakers?
A circuit breaker is a safety device that is put in an electrical circuit. When something fails, or shorts out, the circuit breaker "senses" the excessive current and automatically opens (or breaks) the circuit. They are used in homes, as well as some electrical devices. They are different than a fuse in that a circuit breaker can be reset. A fuse on the other hand, has to be replaced once it opens up. I hope this helps you. for more info, here is a web page about circuit breakers: <a href="http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-circuit-breaker.htm">Ciruit breakers</a>
What devices are used to deliberately create an open circuit when the current exceeds a specific value?
fuses or circuit breakers
What electrical devices can be reset and used again?
An electrical safety device that can be reset and used again fits the description of an electrical circuit breaker.
What electrical safety devices can be reset and used again?
An electrical safety device that can be reset and used again fits the description of an electrical circuit breaker.
3 pole circuit breakers?
3 pole circuit breakers are used for 3 phase lines
Is gold used in circuit breakers?
Certainly not in the case of high-voltage circuit breakers. Probably not in low-voltage circuit breakers, as copper is a better conductor and has a higher melting point.
What objects are bimetallic used in?
Circuit breakers.
Why are circult breakers preferable to fuses?
It's not safer, but it is more convenient.
Which type of circuit breakers used in EHT applications?
SF6 circuit breaker
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.
Circuit breakers are used for the same purposes as?
fuses
What circuit breakers can be used in a load center?
The same name breakers as the manufacture of the load center.

Is a circuit breaker an alternative fuses?
Circuit breakers do the same thing as fuses. They interrupt current flow when a certain preset point is reached. The difference between circuit breakers and fuses are that circuit breakers are resettable and reusable, whereas fuses are one time devices that must be replaced after they blow.
