A normal transformer should not blow the primary side breaker when it is not connected to a load on the secondary. If it does, something is wrong. Check for shorted or burned windings. Make sure that it is indeed disconnected from the load - it might still be connected to something that is also presenting a fault.
Opening a circuit breaker merely interrupts the current flowing through that circuit. It doesn't remove the voltage from the circuit breaker. Isolators (called 'disconnects' in North America) place a visible gap between the circuit breaker and energised conductors, allowing work to be performed on the circuit breaker safely. The full procedure involves: 1. Tripping the circuit breaker (CB). 2. Opening both isolators. 3. Applying temporary earth (ground) connections on either side of the CB. 4. Placing barriers and warning signs around the CB. 5. Issuing a permit to work card to the maintenance supervisor.
is there an error if the upstream circuit breaker is 16A TP and the downstream circuit breaker is 16A TPN?
"Air" and "Vacuum" describe how the breaker extinguishes the arcing current. An Air breaker opens far enough that the dielectric strenght of air is enough to extinguish the arc. A vacuum breaker's contacts are in a vacuum. Oil breakers use oil. SF6 breakers use SF6 gas to extinguish the arc.
A non-auto circuit breaker is a circuit breaker with the trip element removed. Basically, it is a modified circuit breaker that is now a disconnect switch (glorified disconnect switch).

There are many circuit breakers in your 1983 El Camino. There is a circuit breaker box just below the dashboard on the far left side. The circuit breaker box should have a cover. Once the cover is removed the circuits will be revealed.
Because it has neutral with 3 phases. A supply circuit breaker is used on the lv side of the transformer to protect the equipment connecting to it.
The circuit breaker is located on the back side of the fuse block that is located on the passenger side of the dashboard. you will have to release the clips that hold the fuse block down and turn it around. there you will find two metal box circuit breakers, one of which is the DEFOG breaker.
Before anyone is allowed to work on a high-voltage circuit breaker, it must be tripped, electrically isolated, earthed (grounded), barriers/warning notices put in place, and a permit to work document issued by an engineer to the senior member of the maintenance crew. 'Isolation' means a physical (and visible) break in the conductors between the circuit breaker and any potential source of supply -and this is provided by placing isolator switches on each side of the circuit breaker. Without these isolators, the circuit breaker would remain energized, even though the circuit has been broken by the circuit breaker.
The circuit breaker for the headlights is intergrated with the headlight switch.
There are fuses under the hood and on the driver side end of the dash. Not sure what "the breaker" is.
A standard circuit breaker will sometimes (but not necessarily) trip in such a situation because the amperage exceeds the rating for that breaker. A ground fault interrupt breaker will invariably trip because the amperage on one side of the circuit significantly exceeds the amount returning on the other side of the circuit.
due to heat only it has malted . when over current is flowing in the Al. or cu. conductor at that time it will get damage or flash over will come.
