Not unless the leakage current gets higher that what the trip setting of the breaker is. In many underground conduit systems the feeder conductors are in water continuously due to leaks in the under ground conduit system.
As far as a fuse like in a car or even larger versions of the fuses in a car you should be able to see inside the little wire; if the fuse has burnt amd is split in two parts the fuse has been broken. In a circuit breaker it works a little differently, instead of burning out and needing to be replaced, the breaker will "trip" this means there is too much current being drawn through the circuit and the setup cannot handle it. A breaker instead will click to the off position and the switch will flip from on to off. These are much easier to locate than a burnt fuse because in a breaker box usually all the switches are turned to on and in the same direction, so the one breaker that did trip will be pointed in the opposite direction. Simply flip the switch from off to on and its been reset. If the breaker keeps tripping then there is either a short or you have too many loads (appliances) running on that circuit, for instance a power strip with 6 things plugged into it all running at the same time.
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.
The circuit breaker on a 2000 Ford Windstar is typically located in the fuse box under the hood or in the interior fuse panel. To test it, you can use a multimeter to check for continuity across the terminals. If there is no continuity or if the circuit breaker appears damaged, it may need to be replaced.
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.First understand, a circuit breaker doesn't trip on low (60) voltage. It trips on overcurrent, or too many amps being drawn by the circuit.A 60 volt reading in a 120 volt circuit is a typical "backfeeding" reading. You have something miswired. You may have tied into another circuit on the same phase. Go back and disconnect the feed to your 2 additional outlets. Check voltage on the last outlet on the original circuit. If you've got 120 volt, turn the circuit off, then wire in the first new outlet. Do not tie into any other wires other than the wire you ran from the last outlet in the original circuit. Turn the circuit back on and check voltage. You should have 110-120 volt. Then add the second additional outlet as per the above. Do not tie the neutral into any other wire than the one from the original circuit. This should clear your low voltage problem.
form you question i found out that your circuit bearker panal has burn too ,,in case not to happne again you please have got to check the AMPS at both ,,the bulb and the hell circuit breaker ,,the buy the high of AMPS for ur circit breaker .

Breakers don't blow, they trip. Do you mean a fuse? If you are talking about a breaker, you can reset it. Wether it was a breaker tripping or a fuse blowing from installing a new bulb, if the light switch was on when you installed the bulb you got an initial surge from the immediate completion of the circuit. The only thing to be cautious about is a possible fault in the light bulb base. See if the new bulb lasts or if it burns out quickly, you might have a short in the light fixture which needs to be addressed because it could be a fire/electrical hazard. -- If the bulb is a "bayonet cap" bulb there are two contact pads on the base of the bulb and two barbs protruding from the sides. When the bulb is first inserted, before twisting to lock, the bulb contact pads can bridge the live contacts on some light fittings and short the circuit, causing the breaker to trip. Always turn the light switch off when changing a bulb (usually the up position). If you are not sure where "off" is then turn the light circuit off at the breaker and use a table lamp for ambient light.

You don't. The breaker is doing its job by preventing an overload on the circuit. If it happens all the time, you've got too many devices on the circuit or the Bunn is drawing too much power for that circuit. Putting the Bunn on a dedicated circuit capable of delivering enough amps is the only proper solution. Rewiring to add a circuit probably isn't going to be cheap, though. You might also have the coffee maker looked at. It's possible that there's something wrong with it causing it to draw more current than it should be.

A circuit breaker is a device that opens its contacts in order to open the circuit in case of current overload. A differential circuit breaker is a device that opens the circuit in case of leakage (current measured on the phase line is differentthan the current returned to neutral line); therefore protects users from electric shocks.To more understand how it operates, consider the following:Say that your electrical wall outlet is connected to a differential breaker. When plugging let's say a hair dryer to it, the current traveling on the phase line (going into the hair dryer and out to the neutral line of the wall outlet) equals but in reverse direction of the current returned to the neutral line, thus the difference is zero. Now let's say this hair dryer got faulty and fraction of the current coming from the outlet phase line travels through your body and return to earth (considering that you are not electrically isolated from the ground). Thus the current in neutral line is less than the current on phase line; at this moment the difference is not zero and breaker opens to protect you from getting electrocuted.
Bus section is a device is used to separating a bus into two. So if got any fault in right hand side just open the circuit breaker in the bus section and do maintenance without shut down the whole thing.
Edward Covey; got it from the link below.
When you switch on the electric heater, electricity passes through the water in the bucket for warming.If any one comes in contact with the water when the switch is on, he/she is supposed to get electric shock. Nonsense! There are electric heater resistance elements in the water. No electricity is intentionally introduced to the water, if there were the water would be electrified throughout the piping network all the way back to the source including every house connected to the system. Before it ever got that far out of hand the circuit breaker would trip due to the direct short circuit eliminating the hazard. It sounds more like you have an element starting to fail and/or a grounding issue.[
