What can a loosely connected electrical wire in a breaker panel cause?
A short, which will trip the main breaker.
Can you connect an electrical shower into the same circuit as the tank immersion heater?
Would be best not to ... especially if both, when turned on, will exceed the amperage rating of the breaker to which they are connected.
How do you avoid overheating of the electrical wiring of the equipment?
Overheating of electrical wiring is overcome by installing the correct size conductors to carry the load amperage of the equipment. Use a larger size wire to the load. The main purpose of the breaker is to protect the wire that is connected to it. If the wire becomes overloaded due to a high current flow the breaker will trip.
What is a hard wired electrical installation?
Hard wired is where something (Like most ceiling light fixtures) are wired directly to the circuit breaker panel. This is apposed to something like a lamp or a vacuum that uses a plug going in to a wall outlet.
What is the purpus of a circute breaker?

In electrical engineering what is a spur circuit?
spur evolves from spurious terminology.In electrical terminology it is denoted by a range of frequency through which any electrical circuit (specaially in case of RF and microwave circuits) is operated.
What is a circuit breaker connected in?
it is connected in a box
What is a breaker and what is it used for?
An electrical breaker is a safety device used to open a circuit that has an electrical fault on it.
What causes an electrical surging sounds be when home ac unit is running?
The wiring to the unit is either not on the right type of breaker switch or the unit is not hooked up directly to the breaker box at all.
Must wires be connected to breaker box?
It should be connected to circuit breaker. Circuit breaker will automatically discontinue the flow of electricity if it detects faulty condition.

Is a circuit breaker a protective device?
yes when combined with a suitable protective relay
How an inverter is connected to supply?
it should be connected to a breaker in the distribution panel.
What is oil circuit breaker?
An oil circuit breaker is a breaker that is immersed in a tank of insulating oil. The tank has two electrical bushings through the tank to allow the supply and load to be connected to the breaker. These breakers can be opened under a heavy amperage load. The insulating oil is used to extinguish the arc that is produced when opening a switch under load.
How much does a GFI circuit breaker cost?
They don't cost that much, and it also depends on where you are. I suggest you approach your electrician or electrical supplier, explain to him what you need it for and then he will then tell you the cost. Installation will be extra, as you can guess.
What is a reusable safety switch that breaks the circuit when the current gets too high?
In the electrical trade, this device is known as a circuit breaker.
