If the main breaker is with out any fluid or oil then technically it is no problem. However the operator may get confused while using it, particularly during an emergency situation, he might actually put on trying to put off, which might lead to serious problems.

SMy Breaker box is tripping one of my 20A's How many times can I just reset it before I have to shut it down?

If you have contineous tripping on a breaker then there is a fault on the load of that breaker. Don't reset it any more. What is the breaker connected to?


Why do you need a shunt trip breaker?

A shunt trip breaker is installed like any other molded case breaker. The only difference is that it has an internal tripping coil that is usually connected to a C.T. The breaker is usually mounted in a MCC cabinet The top of the breaker is bolted to the MCC bus bars and the bottom of the breaker is connected to the load. The load conductors pass through the C.T.'s which induces a current into the circuit to trip the tripping coil in the breaker.


What happens if a 208VAC primary voltage is connected to a 240VAC stepdown transformer to 208VAC?

The transformer will act as a step down transformer in the ratio of 240 to 208. This will reduce the 208 input to 180.


Where do you connect the two leads of a shunt trip breaker?

Usually the breaker's shunt trip coil is tied to a corresponding current transformer that is sized to the amperage that is allowed to be passed through the breaker. These types of breakers can also be connected into a distribution monitoring device. If the monitor detects a phase reversal or phase loss or voltage rise or drop the breakers shunt trip coil is remotely energized and isolates equipment down stream from the fault. Shunt trip coil circuits are also used as safety circuits where the situation calls for only one breaker to be energized at a time. If the second breaker is inadvertently closed, this would allow both breakers to be on, the second breaker's auxiliary contacts that are an internally part of that breaker will close the safety circuit and energize the shunt trip in the first breaker to causing it to open. So as you can see the two wires could be part of many wiring configurations depending on what situation calls for.


What is the term for conductance?

Conductance is the inverse of resistance. The abbreviation is the mho, which is ohm spelled backward. The symbol is the upside down Omega symbol.

What happens when a cockroach is turned upside down?

When a cockroach is turned upside down, it may struggle to right itself by using its legs to flip back over. Cockroaches have a strong instinct to stay upright, so they will typically try to correct their position when turned upside down.
