If there are a series of outlets and switches that won't operate in one particular area of your home and there are no breaker switches thrown in the breaker box what else could be causing this problem?

When several outlets are on the same circuit the current comes first from the breaker panel to one outlet where it is connected to a duplex receptacle and/or switch or light, then to the NEXT outlet, light or switch. If a connection was not made properly at any point along the way it can corrode or somehow loose connection back to the breaker panel. If that happens, every outlet DOWNSTREAM will not be working properly. If you cannot track down the problem yourself, you will need to hire an electrician.

What is the highest voltage rated breaker an electrician can operate?
An electrician does not operate breakers he installs them.
Why do none of the windows work but there is not a fuse and circuit breaker is good what next?
I had the same problem with our 1998 Pontiac GP. Both windows suddenly failed to operate. Checked the circuit breaker, that was fine. Could not find any other type of fuse related to the windows. The answer? The electrical pigtail that should have been plugged into the two window operating switches on the drivers side door had come loose. Once reconnected, all was well. (To access the wiring, just GENTLY pry up the switch panel from the bottom - below the two window switches.)
How do you repair main circuit breaker on ships?
Repairing circuit breakers is not advisable. When a breaker is taken apart there are many parts that have to specifically align up with each other. Any misalignment and the breaker may not operate correctly if subjected to a fault condition. Do like the landlubbers do and replace the faulty breaker with a new one. This makes everyone safe.
Would a 30A 240V circuit breaker be too large to safely support a either a 20A or 23A 240V bandsaw?
Yes it will operate it fine.
How does a thermal overload control a circuit when the phase short to ground?
If you are describing a circuit breaker then its electromagnetic trip component will operate in the event of a line*-to-ground (*not 'phase'!) short circuit. The thermal overload component will only operate in the event of a sustained overload.
Routers operate at layer LAN switches operate at layer Ethernet hubs operate at layer?
Routers operate at layer 3. LAN switches operate at layer 2. Ethernet hubs operate at layer 1.
Switches that operate anywhere between Layer 4 and Layer 7 are also known as switches?
Content switches
What is the highest voltage rated breaker an electrician can operate?
An electrician does not operate breakers he installs them.
Switches operate at layer and Hubs operate at layer of OSI model?
Hubs are a physical layer (layer 1) device; most switches operate at the Data Link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model.
Why does your outlet trip every time you use your electric mixer?
Appliances like electric mixers use a high amperage to operate. It will be in the upper limits of the circuits breaker. The most likely scenario is that there is some other device also connected to the same circuit. The total combination is what is tripping the breaker. Another problem could be the mixer itself. These types of appliances usually use brushes to operate the motor. Check or take the mixer to an appliance repairman to check to see if the brushes have worn down and are shorting causing the breaker to trip.
When transistors are used as switches what are the two conditions in which they operate?
on or off
What could be wrong when the passenger side window switches do not operate the windows but the driver side switches do operate the passemger windows.?
Does this car have a safety lockout of the passenger switches? It's probably activated. If it was just one passenger window I would suspect a broken wire, most likely in the rubber bellows between the door and frame.
Do you have a circuit breaker which operates for one millon volts?
Circuit breakers operate on current not voltage.
Will layer 3 switches route packets between devices on different subnets?
Yes. Most switches (which operate at layer 2) will NOT route packets between different subnets. However special layer 3 switches DO have this capability.
How does a flashing indicator operate?
There is a relay switch in the circuit which switches the light on & off when you activate the turn signal.

Switch work in which layer of osi model?
Switches / Bridges and hubs work at data link layer, but there are layer three switches which operate at network layer. Dhruv
