Can the surge protectors circuit breaker be reset an unlimited number of times?
Yes, the surge protectors circuit breakers can be reset an unlimited number of times.
What makes a circuit breaker go bad?
A circuit breaker can go bad from being tripped too many times. Many people don't understand that the tripping of a circuit breaker indicates a problem that needs to be corrected. They usually just reset the circuit breaker, leading to a very common second (or third, or fourth) trip. Circuit breakers tripping are for the prevention of fire due to excessive heat in the circuit. They're not supposed to be tripped repeatedly. This can wear the breaker out. Believe it or not, I've also seen circuit breakers fail to re-energize after being turned off. I speculate this was actually caused by the breaker never having been cycled (it was a main breaker), and the time elapsed since it was installed. Electrical equipment doesn't last forever. It's the same as anything else.
What is mean by auto re-closer in high voltage breaker?
Many high-voltage overhead line faults are temporary in nature -e.g. a branch hitting a line conductor during a storm. An 'autorecloser' mechanism is designed to automatically reclose a circuit breaker after it has tripped. If the fault has cleared itself, then the circuit breaker will remain closed; if not, the autorecloser mechanism can be set to reclose the circuit breaker several times (typically 3) before, finally, locking the circuit breaker open. Autoreclosers are often used in conjuction with 'sectionalisers'; these are non-load breaking switches which will disconnect sections of line towards the end of a feeder, in the hope that any fault has existed beyond that point and will be cleared before the autorecloser recloses the circuit breaker.
Why do you need a 125 amp breaker for a 83 amp furnace?
If you put a 85 amp breaker in there it will overheat from the starting and stopping of the motor. The extra size of the breaker insures that the furnace will run without interruption and without overheating the breaker. And electric motor can draw three times the amperage rated on start up momentarily. This is why there is need of extra amperage ratings.
What size breaker you would use for a 110 volt window air conditioning unit?
Breaker sizing is dependant on what the load amperage is that the breaker is connected to. If the amperage is not given but just the wattage, use this equation I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts. This air conditioner unit should be on a dedicated circuit receptacle. On these types of loads the conductor can only be loaded to 80% of the conductors rating. So a 15 amp breaker times 80% = 12 amps or Watts = Amps x Volts, 12 x 120 = 1440 watts. A 20 amp breaker times 80% = 16 amps or Watts = Amps x Volts, 16 x 120 = 1920. Once the breaker is sized remember to use the correct wire size to correspond with the amperage of the breaker.

What are the release dates for Good Times - 1974 Breaker Breaker 5-8?
Good Times - 1974 Breaker Breaker 5-8 was released on: USA: 9 November 1977
What is the difference between b type c type and d type miniature circuit breakers?
The different types are rated by how much current above its rated current will trip the breaker instantly (less than 100ms). Type B 3-5 times. Type C 5-10 times. Type D10-20 times. For example a 10amp type B breaker will instantly trip (less than 100ms) at between 30-50amps.
Can a standard household 120V breaker go off and on intermittently at odd times without showing OFF?
A breaker can trip and still look like it is in the "on" position. However, if the power goes off and then comes back on then there is something wrong in the circuit, not the breaker. Once a breaker trips, it will not reset itself. There are things called thermal overloads that do reset themselves after a period of time but you would not have them in your home. Make sure it is not the appliance or the light fixtures themselves. Check each one individually to see if it is causing the problem. If you can't find the problem you should get someone in to look for loose or faulty wiring BEFORE you smell smoke! Long term moisture can oxidize the contacts and then cause this. Try a new breaker and keep your panel as dry as possible.

You have an equipment rated for 230V 14 FLA and you have it connected to a 20A circuit breaker. you just noticed that is now connected to a 30A circuit breaker. how would this affect your equipment?
If the motor starts without tripping the breaker and when the motor picks up the load and the breaker doesn't trip, just leave it. Code states that motors should be protected by 2.5 times the FLA to allow for start up inrush current which can go as high as 300%. In this case 14 x 2.5 = 35 amps. There not being a breaker of that size go to the next highest, that being a 40 amp breaker. The motor should have additional overload protection on the circuit set to the FLA of the motor and not depend on the breaker to provide overload protection.
Will milk help you stop tripping?
I'm autistic and I've always felt that milk had not stopped me from tripping ever since I was born. To be honest, Pepsi works a 100 times better.
Was changing a 30 amp breaker when I reset the main breaker there was a delay before power came back on?
Something is not right. My guess would be the main breaker is old and deteriorated. Breakers need to exercised to keep them operating free. Open and close them several times every six months. Hardened grease or corrosion will cause them not to snap over quickly or may have dirty contacts inside which delayed "make up" after some current burned through them. Check to make sure it is not getting hot or arcing which could cause a fire.
How do you find out why a GFI won't reset if it tripped several times due to Christmas lights and rain but they are now unplugged and when the reset button is pushed it immediately trips?
If the outlet cover was held open by the lights it could be wet. A smal amount of water will cause a GFI to trip. A GFI is a device which makes certain that voltage is not draining away from the two wires, to some OTHER voltage drain, such as a human body or a wet circuit. if above not the answer go to your breaker box and find the breaker that controls that circuit. you will know when you have the right one when the breaker does nothing, not even trip it self. see what else is on that circuit {what else turns off when main breaker is tripped and unplug everything that is on that circuit then turn on the main breaker. try the reset with everything else off if it still trips then its the gfi itself. they go bad often on construction sites [my own personal experience] if it resets properly than one of the other things on that circuit is the culprit. replug or turn them on one at a time. the breaker will trip if its one of these. if not replace the breaker. pretty cheap at lowes or home depot. turn off main breaker when you replace it. lots of luck!!
Why do your testicals and right leg pain after excess tripping?
Maybe because you fell on them so many times!
