What else can I help you with?
Where the circuit breakers are located?
If your circuit breakers are in the garage, they would be in a electrical panel (a metal box mounted on a (usually) outside wall, with the electric meter on the outside. The circuit breakers can be either just below the meter on the outside on opposite it inside the garage. It would usually be very close to where the electric connection to the house is. The electrical panel and breakers are not necessarily in the garage.
Can lightning strike a concrete door stoop?
Yes, lightning can strike a concrete door stoop if it is the highest point in the vicinity. Concrete is a good conductor of electricity, so the energy from the lightning strike would likely travel through the stoop into the ground. It is important to take precautions during a thunderstorm to minimize the risk of being struck by lightning.
Can lighting hit the ocean?
Yes, lightning can hit the ocean. When a thunderstorm occurs over the ocean, lightning can strike the water just as it would strike land. The ocean's vast surface area makes it a common target for lightning strikes.
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.
Do you have a circuit breaker which operates for one millon volts?
Circuit breakers are typically designed for lower voltages, such as up to 1000 volts. For extremely high voltages like one million volts, special high-voltage circuit breakers or other protection devices would be used in power systems. These specialized devices are designed to handle the unique challenges posed by very high voltage levels.

How would you install ge circuit breakers?
There are many ways one can install ge circuit breakers. One can install ge circuit breakers by turning off the power supply, removing the panel cover, testing it for power, and installing it by alining the breaker with the unused panel space.
When would you need to use westinghouse circuit breakers?
You need these types of circuit breakers when using 240 volt power rather than 120 volt. Large appliances such as a dryer require these larger circuit breakers. Other appliances such as stoves and some water heaters also require them.
Can lightning strike wet moving car's windshield?
It could, but it would be more likely to strike a metal part.
Can lightning strike a concrete door stoop?
Yes, lightning can strike a concrete door stoop if it is the highest point in the vicinity. Concrete is a good conductor of electricity, so the energy from the lightning strike would likely travel through the stoop into the ground. It is important to take precautions during a thunderstorm to minimize the risk of being struck by lightning.
Can you get struck by lightning outside?
Yes. Outside is normally where that would happen. If you are inside, your house protects you from any direct lightning strike.
If you are swimming in a lake or river how close would a lightning strike to the water have to be to hurt or kill you?
The distance would depend upon the force of each individual strike.
What local hardware stores sell circuit breakers in Bristol?
Local hardware stores would be a good place to start when looking for circuit breakers. Another resource to check out would be electrical supply stores. Avonvale Electrics on Winterstoke Road in Bristol is one such store.
Can lighting hit the ocean?
Yes, lightning can hit the ocean. When a thunderstorm occurs over the ocean, lightning can strike the water just as it would strike land. The ocean's vast surface area makes it a common target for lightning strikes.
Will a lightning strike cause damage to a motorized awning?
That depends entirely upon whether or not the structure is grounded. If it's grounded usually through a lightning rod connect to a grounded post, then the energy of the strike will transfer to the ground harmlessly. If it's not a lightning strike would destroy the awning and possibly set it on fire.
What do fuses and circuit breakers protect circuits from?
They protect the downstream components from spikes in the eletrical system.CommentFuses and circuit breakers do not protect against 'spikes', which are near-instantaneous voltage increases. Fuses and circuit breakers are overcurrent protection devices, which protect appliances against excessive current due to overloads or short circuits. CommentFuses and circuit breakers are used to protect the wire feeder that supplies the load. A load could be connected to a circuit that would cause an increase of amperage above what the wire is rated for. If this condition happens the fuse or circuit breaker will open the load from the supply service.
If the earth's surface was an insulator and not a conductor would lightning be able to strike earth's surface?
No, if the Earth's surface were an insulator, lightning would not be able to strike it because insulators do not conduct electricity. Lightning occurs when there is a difference in electrical charge between the clouds and the Earth's surface, and if the Earth were an insulator, it would not allow the flow of electricity necessary for lightning to occur.
