a disconnect? if its a switch, turn it all the way off... then all the way on. if it pulls out and has fuses then be sure they work and stick it back in. or it could be that the breaker inside has been tripped. then you would turn it off then on.

The first thing to do would be to unplug everything that might be plugged into that circuit. It might be an external device that is tripping the breaker. If you know an electrician see if he will help you as thing can get complicated with this type of troubleshooting.Usually the wiring in the wall does not fault unless someone has driven a screw or nail into it. The fault will be in the junction box so look for burn marks inside the junction boxes. It could be as simple as a ground wire touching the "hot" terminal of a switch or plug that has just be changed out for a new one. If there was some DIY work done on that circuit, check that part of the circuit out first.The very first thing to do is to turn the breaker off, remove the electrical circuit from the breaker that is tripping and then turn the breaker back on to determine that it is not a faulty breaker. With the circuit wire removed from the breaker, the breaker should not trip. If it does change the breaker out for a new one.The second part of trouble shooting the circuit is going to entail turning the breaker on and off with exposed wiring open at junction boxes. If you are not confident that you can do this, hire an electrician. Trouble shooting this type of electrical fault is time consuming. I like to determine where the middle of the circuit is and open that junction box first. This will let you know if the fault is upstream or downstream from this junction box.Once you determine approximately where the middle junction box of the circuit is, it has to be opened and the wires removed from the device that is located in the box. Make a detailed diagram of how the device is wired into the circuit and what wires are spliced together in the back of the box that you are working on so that the box can be reconnected the same as before you took it apart. Once the wires are all seperated from each other, turn the breaker on and see if the breaker trips off.If it does not then the fault is downstream from this box. Put the wiring back together the same as it was and move on to the next box downstream and do the same procedureon that junction box. If the breaker trips then the wiring has a fault between the breaker and the box you chose to open the circuit at. Again put the wiring back together the same as it was and move on to the next box upstream and do the same procedure on that junction box. Continue with this same type of procedure until you find out what junction box connection is tripping the breaker.
A circuit breaker is a switching device which can make,brake and carrying (or trip the circuit) that specified over currents for a small interval of time . There is a different types of Circuit Breaker's are there 1.According to their arc quenching media these are divided into 4 types a) Oil circuit breaker b) Air blast circuit breaker c) SF6 circuit breaker d) vacuum circuit breaker 2. According to their services the circuit breaker can be divided as a) Outdoor Circuit Breaker b) Indoor Breaker 3. According to the operating mechanism of circuit breaker they can be divided as a) Spring operated Circuit Breaker b) Pneumatic Circuit Breaker c) Hydrolic Circuit Breaker 4. According to the voltage level of installation these are divided into 3 types a) High Voltage Circuit Breaker b) Medium Voltage Circuit Breaker c) Low Voltage Circuit Breaker.
The circuit breaker for the headlights is intergrated with the headlight switch.

handling the circuit breaker
is there an error if the upstream circuit breaker is 16A TP and the downstream circuit breaker is 16A TPN?
Where I'm from, it's called a "circuit breaker".A circuit breaker.
No, a circuit breaker is a safety device that is used in a circuit to limit the amount of current in an overload or short circuit condition. The number on a breaker is the top end current that the breaker will handle before opening the circuit.
A non-auto circuit breaker is a circuit breaker with the trip element removed. Basically, it is a modified circuit breaker that is now a disconnect switch (glorified disconnect switch).
The point where wires interconnect with other wires is known as a "junction". In your panel the circuit breakers are connected to the buss, each circuit breaker feeds a different circuit. Different circuits are not connected together.
There isn't, the contacts in a circuit breaker are plated with silver.
