Why does a new AC in a new house throw the outside circuit breaker once a week?

If the breaker only trips once a week you may have a bad breaker or the breaker may not be large enough for your A/C unit. You should also have an electrician look for any loose connections from the unit to the breaker panel. (It is not uncommon to have a bad breaker)

What is wrong with your air conditioner if the fan is blowing but the compressor is not working?
It is possible that the circuit breaker for the compressor unit is thrown (switched to "off"). Go outside to the compressor unit and follow the big cable up to the circuit breaker panel on the wall. If it is off, throw the switch to "on." If that is not the problem, something is probably wrong with the compressor unit. Turn off the breaker panel and call a repairman.
Why do modern homes now make use of a circuit breaker instead of an electric fuse?
Cost. It is because of the ease of resetting a breaker after a fault trip. A fuse is a throw away device after it trips.
You don't love your husband anymore how can you get him to move out the house?
throw all is stuff outside the house!!!!
When a circuit breaker trips in what position will you find the operating handle?
The operating handle will be found in mid throw. On smaller type electrical breakers there is a small trip indicator window and a red flag will be visible when the breaker has tripped. On larger physical size breakers you will definitely see that the handle is not in the off or on position. To reset any size breaker move the handle to the full off position. You might hear a click but you will definitely feel the internal mechanism re-latch to the off position. This has reset the breaker, move the handle to the on position and normal electrical power will have been restored. If you get an instantaneous trip after a reset do not try and reset the breaker again. Find the cause of the short circuit and get it repaired. Constant and repetitive resetting will destroy the breaker and increase the temperature of the short circuit. If the short circuit is in a highly combustive area this is not good. Find the problem and get it repaired.
Is a double throw 15amp breaker the same as a 30 amp breaker amp?
You have a double pole breaker for 240Volt supply. The maximum current is 15 amp.
Your residential outside ac unit will only buzz then throw the breaker the outside fan will come on but at low speed?
More than likely there is a problem with the wiring or connectors . The fan is only working at low because there isn't enough current getting to it.
How do you detect if a shunt trip breaker is malfunctioning?
The way to detect if a shunt trip breaker is malfunctioning is to manually trip the breaker. The shunt is usually wired through a auxiliary relay. Make sure that before you trip the breaker that the load can be shut off without taking a production line etc. off line. Trip the auxiliary relay using a test jumper to activate the relays coil. The breaker's handle will move to mid throw and the load will disconnect from the supply power. If the breaker trips then it is working properly. If the breaker does not trip trouble shoot the circuitry that is used to trip the breaker. Usual problem is an open circuit.
How does Breaker from breaker's bridge try to solve the problem of building the bridge over the river?
The old man helped him after the old man gave him some pellets that Breaker used to throw out into the river.
What would cause a 15 amp circuit breaker to throw after 5 hours?
Operating a breaker on a continuous current, close to the breaker's tripping point can cause this condition. Because the breaker is a thermal device the heat builds up over a time period. Check the breakers on either side of the faulting breaker. If these breakers are also warm from use they take away the heat sink effect and do not let the faulting breaker cool down. Check the current of the load to see how close you are operating to the breakers trip point. Over time the trip setting of the breaker can become lower to a point where it will not reset. Changing the breaker out should rectify this non resetting condition.
