It can. Most electronic items now days are sold with the on and off switch turning off a portion of the electronics only. There is usually a slight draw constantly. Add all the devices that do this in your house and it can amount to a small savings in electricity if you unplug when you are not using an item. However, devices that need a "keep alive" memory will lose that memory when unplugged such as the preset station buttons on a stereo. You will have to reprogram them in when you restart the device.

Where can you find a self resetting circuit breaker for 120vac 15amps?

If you are referring to circuit breakers used in residential or commercial building electrical systems, the answer is - you can't! What's more, you don't want to!Circuit breakers are a safety device. A 14 gauge wire can safely handle 15 amps. If there is a short circuit, or if an appliance or appliances are plugged in that uses more than 15 Amps, the wires would overheat and could start a fire. The circuit breaker trips to prevent this.The idea when a breaker trips is for you, the intelligent human, to go and look for the overload, and fix it before resetting the breaker. A mindless self-resetting breaker would just keep heating up the wire until a fire starts, defeating the purpose.If you have a breaker that continuously trips, don't just keep resetting it. Find out why it is tripping and fix it or have it fixed! This could save your life!
