Where can you find a self resetting circuit breaker for 120vac 15amps?
If you are referring to circuit breakers used in residential or commercial building electrical systems, the answer is - you can't! What's more, you don't want to!Circuit breakers are a safety device. A 14 gauge wire can safely handle 15 amps. If there is a short circuit, or if an appliance or appliances are plugged in that uses more than 15 Amps, the wires would overheat and could start a fire. The circuit breaker trips to prevent this.The idea when a breaker trips is for you, the intelligent human, to go and look for the overload, and fix it before resetting the breaker. A mindless self-resetting breaker would just keep heating up the wire until a fire starts, defeating the purpose.If you have a breaker that continuously trips, don't just keep resetting it. Find out why it is tripping and fix it or have it fixed! This could save your life!

What is the problem if the breaker isn't tripped and there is no power to my switch in computer room switch in foyer switch for outside porch and alarm panel is dead?
The most likely problem is that the breaker has tripped. On some breakers there is a indication window that shows a red flag if the breaker needs resetting. On other breakers there is no indication but a slight misalignment of the breaker handle as compared to the other ones. On the distribution panel find the breaker number of the circuit that is off from the panel index. Push the breaker handle to the furthest off position that you can. As the handle is moved to the off position you will feel a bit of resistance. Push past it as that is the breaker resetting. Return the breaker to the on position to see if the circuit has re-energized. The only other reason is that a wire has become disconnected in the circuit. If you have been doing any electrical work on the circuit start looking in that area. To troubleshoot these types of problems it will require the use of a volt meter to check to see if the circuit is "hot" from the breaker out. Then it is just a matter of finding where the voltage stops and locate the problem.
If your circuit breaker popped and will not go back what should you do?
first be sure to reset the breaker handle to the off position. When a breaker trips the handle goes to a neutral position. After resetting the handle turn it tothe on position. If it trips again there is a short in the circuit. Find out which outlets are not workingand unplug anything that is currently plugged in to the outlets. Reset the breaker and turn it to the on position,if it trips again call a qualified electrician.
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.

How do circuit breaker keep the wires in a electrical circuit from overheating?
A circuit breaker is designed to 'break' in a circuit if a short circuit (or other malfunction) occurs. This prevents overheating (or burn-out) of the circuit wires. In older systems, you would need to find which fuse wire has fused and replace it. In a circuit breaker, once the fault has been found and corrected, the breaker is simply switched back on.

Resetting Auto Circuit BreakersWithout doing a "hands on" troubleshooting of your vehicle no one on this site can tell you specifically, what is causing the problem, or where to find it. It has been my experience that all of the circuit breakers for automotive applications are self resetting.Inside, they use bimetallic strips, and reset themselves when the circuit current overload, or short circuit conditions, has been removed/eliminated, and the bimetallic strip has cooled down.IF your breaker is not resetting itself after a reasonable "cool down" period, then that suggests:A short circuit condition somewhere in that circuit, orAn overload condition due to the addition of too much "extra" electrical equipment [like for example, a "monster" audio amplifier, or a light bar set], orReplacement of an electrical device with one which uses much more current than the replaced device, orA defective circuit breaker.
