If by circuit breakers you mean fuses the answer is yes they do. The 03 Passat fuse box is located behind a panel on the drivers side where the dash board meets the door. You have to open the drivers door to see it. Pry the panel out by the front edge facing you and it will pop out revealing the small multi colored fuses.

Where can I find circuit breakers?

Lowes and Home Depot carry circuit breakers as well as the wiring and box. Circuit Breakers come in several watts, so be sure you get what is appropriate for your living space.


Will multiple tripping of a circuit breaker damage the circuit breaker?

You don't specify whether you mean low-voltage circuit breakers, such as MCBs (miniature circuit breakers) or high-voltage circuit breakers. In either case, repeated tripping under fault conditions causes arcing which damages the main contacts of the circuit breakers. For this reason, high-voltage circuit breakers are taken out of service after a specified number of tripping operations, so that the contacts can be maintained or, if necessary, replaced. MCB contacts are inaccessible, and the MCB may eventually require replacing.


What brand of circuit breakers will fit a Gould electrical panel?

Siemens circuit breakers are compatible with Gould electrical panels. Siemens acquired the Gould brand, so their circuit breakers are designed to fit and work with Gould panels. Be sure to double-check the specifications to ensure compatibility before installation.


Why is it important that homes have circuit breakers?

Fuses and circuit breakers are meant to protect your home's wiring from the heat generated from fault-currents and over-currents. Over-currents happen when you exceed the amperage the fuse or breaker is rated for over a period of time (IE: drawing 20 amps on a 15 amp circuit breaker). When this occurs a fuse or circuit breaker will open the circuit so the wiring in your home will not be damaged. Over-currents happen when electricity finds a path, other than the one intended, to ground. When this happens there is very little resistance to slow the flow of electricity and the amperage through the circuit can exceed the fuse or circuit breakers rated capacity by several hundred times . These type of faults cause the fuse or circuit breaker to open the circuit very quickly.


Electrician said that he would add 2 new circuits so that the breakers wouldn't trip. How do I know he actually did that if there wasn't any new circuit breakers installed in the panel?

He may have installed Tandem breakers. Tandem breakers allow you to fit 2 breakers into one standard breaker slot. They are slimmer in design to allow for this.


Why you are using dc in spring charge motors?

Presumably, you are describing the spring-charging mechanism on high-voltage circuit breakers? If so, then the reason is because, in the event of an electrical fault in which the substations loses its a.c. supply, the circuit breakers can be recharged from the standby d.c. batteries.


Are Siemens circuit breakers compatible with ITT breakers?

Yes they are. I would only use them as a temporary measure until obtaining the correct breaker. There is a part of the electrical code about modifying electrical equipment which this could be construed as. If the panel certification is lost and the panel faults and a fire occurs, your insurance company might not cover the losses occurring from the fire.


Can you put in piggy back circuit breakers in a circuit panel?

The electrical terminology for this type of breaker is a tandem breaker. It is where two breakers circuits can be in the same one breaker slot in a distribution panel. On this type of breaker there will be two output for a circuit value of what ever the breaker is rated for.


When thunder is falling on substation who it is automatically off?

When a thunder falls on a sub station, immediately a high voltage is produced in the bus bars connected to the substations. This high voltage is sensed by the relays & they send signals to circuit breakers, due to automatic system circuit breakers they are opened immediately. After clearing the faults the breakers closes automatically. so that sub stations are free of damages.


How do you change one breaker on a 3 wire that feeds two regular circuit breakers to a single arc fault circuit breaker - or do you have to change both breakers to arc fault so each has a neutral?

You can't change the one breaker, but you can't use two separate arc fault breakers unless you separate the neutrals. However double pole arc fault breakers are made for this purpose and the common neutral would be O.K.


Which device designed to open an overloaded circuit and prevent overheating?

Fuses and circuit breakers are designed to open a circuit when an excess amount of current occurs, so as to break that flow of current.A circuit breaker or fuse.


How do circuit breakers keep the wires in an electrical circuit from over heating?

Because the amount of heating depends on how much current is in the wires. So you set the CB to cut the current if it exceeds the rated current for that wire.
