Is there a circuit breaker that is operated by a signal sent down the same cable that's supplying power to it?

What is a difference between 10KA and 22KA circuit breakers?
The previous answer is incorrect, and I would advise that user to not give out information if they are going to give completely misguided information. The interrupting rating of a breaker is the maximum current that the breaker is designed to handle, at the breaker's rated voltage, before damage will occur to the breaker. A breaker will trip at FAR LESS than the interrupting rating, but it is extremely dangerous to expose the breaker to any situation where it will have more than the rated interruption current. the breaker is designed for. The reason some breakers are rated at 22kA instead of 10kA is because they typically have far larger conductors hooked up to them, so with the lowered impedance on the circuit there is more of a chance for the breaker to experience a higher fault current at the breaker. So electricians install 22kA breakers to handle the higher "available fault current."
Does a 1993 Suburban have a separate breaker for the turn signals apart from the flasher?
I'm not sure what you mean by "breaker". If you mean fuse, then yes, there is a turn signal fuse in the circuit.
What is inter trip?
A protection signalling system whereby a signal initiated at one station trips a circuit-breaker at another station.
What is inter trip relay?
A protection signalling system whereby a signal initiated at one station trips a circuit-breaker at another station.
Ceiling fan quit working no power at switch circuit breaker not tripped?
I have seen cases where an open breaker is the cause of such problems. It appears to be on, but is open internally. Check the voltage with a meter or temporarily piggy-back the fan circuit on another breaker. If it isn't the breaker it is a connection somewhere in the circuit leading to the fan switch. If the power is coming from a GFCI outlet, check that. Otherwise, you start at the breaker measuring voltage and then try and find other spots in the circuit before the fan switch and check voltages there. You can also go a bit high tech and buy a signal tracer for about $30 and check out the circuit wiring. Then there is always an electrician who will likely find the problem quickly.
Your 1999 Mercury Mountaineer headlights keep randomly shutting on and off you have checked fuses what could be the cause?
Ok it was the "turn signal" or "multi-switch" the switch that controls wipers,turn signal,brights and dims ect. it was pretty easy to replace and was about $60.00.AnswerDoes it have automatic headlights? If so, it may be the sensor. It could also be a circuit breaker. Many headlight circuits do not use a fuse, instead they use a circuit breaker so that you won't get stranded without headlights. If it's a circuit breaker problem, you may have lights that are drawing too much current for the breaker, on the other hand, it could also be a faulty breaker... assuming that you have a circuit breaker in that vehicle. You may need to do a little research, either at your local library or at the dealership. Sometimes a dealer mechanic will give you a little information so that you can perform some of the more simple repairs yourself.

What is the Difference between circuit breaker and a relay?
A circuit breaker is designed to break a circuit which is carrying current at the time. Where large currents and/or voltages are present, the opening of the circuit may induce dangerous arcing, so means such as air blast must be used to "blow out" the arc. Air breakers are being phased out and replaced with vacuum or SF6 breakers. An isolator is only designed to isolate a circuit or other component after the current has already ceased, so it doesn't need to have any means to stop the arc. Thus in high voltage/high current installations such as in power stations or grid switching stations, the initial operation to isolate the circuit, whether planned or as a result of a fault, is by the circuit breaker, the isolator is then used to isolate the circuit breaker for maintenance or repair. The difference between a circuit breaker and a contactor is that a circuit breaker can break fault current while a contactor cannot. A contactor is typically implemented in series with a fuse which serves to interrupt fault current. An isolator and a contactor are not synonymous.
Fuse for front wippers on 1994 jeep Cherokee?
Check fuse 5, which will be labeled blower motor. Also check the circuit breaker located at (or near) the turn signal flasher.
What is a input signal conditioner?
The precise answer requires more context than you've given. In general, an input signal conditioner (in an electronic circuit) does just what its name implies. It takes a raw electrical input and modifies it in some desirable fashion before passing the signal on to the next stage of the circuit. This allows the next circuit to operate with a more restricted, deterministic range of inputs, and therefore have a better chance of operating 100% reliably. For example, a raw input signal may be very "noisy", meaning that it contains a high frequency component that was not intended, but was superimposed on the "true" signal via some method such as electromagnetic coupling. An input signal conditioner could be used to filter out the undesirable noise component of the signal, and pass on only the "true" signal, which is then operated on by the next circuit stage.
Does a reverberating circuit involve an incoming signal that travels along a chain of neurons and quickly dies out?
No, a reverberating circuit does not involve an incoming signal that travels along a chain of neurons and quickly dies out. A reverberating circuit is a circular circuit that returns a signal to its source.
