Can you plug a 9000 BTU air conditioner unit into a 110-120 volt line safely?
Check and see what the amperage the A/C unit draws. These types of appliances should have their own dedicated circuit. If there is nothing of a high load on the existing 120 volt circuit and the A/C unit draws less than 12 amps, the unit should operate without tripping the breaker. If the A/C unit only has wattage and no amperage shown on the nameplate use this equation to find the amperage. I = W/E, Amps = Watts/Volts.
Why would condensation build up in an electric water heater and trip the breaker in a garage in Florida and you shut off the water heater frequently because it's a 2nd home?
If your having condensation at the bottom of the unit it could be that the bottom element has gone bad and when the cold water comes in and hits the warm tank it is condensating. Also if heating element has gone bad that could be a definite cause for the breaker to keep tripping.
What is the standard SI unit for measuring the mass of the liquid in the breaker?

How many amps can a 20 amp breaker hold on a lightning load?
I'd try to stay about 16 amps to prevent the breaker from nuisance tripping. That is as many as 32 - 60 watt incandescent (normal) lights or 83 - 23 watt CFLs. In practical terms it is hard to overload a single circuit with lights or other small loads (just about anything using a receptacle except the obvious AC unit or vacuum cleaner).

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)
Does a residential condo require a main breaker in each unit?
No, a residential condo does not require a main breaker in each unit. Typically, the main breaker is located in the electrical room or utility room of the building, and it controls the power supply to all the units. Each unit may have individual circuit breakers, but a main breaker is not required in each unit.
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.
How do you check the breaker on the outside ac unit?
Even though the A/C unit is outside, the breaker for it will be in the entrance panel box inside your home. It should be clearly marked.
What is off-tracking of tractor trailer?
When you turn in a tractor trailer (or any vehicle with a trailer), the tyres of that trailer aren't going to take the same course as the tyres on the power unit - they'll go within the turn radius of the power unit. Drivers need to be aware of this, as this can cause the trailer to hit things the power unit would clear, such as curbs, utility poles, etc.
