If a breaker will not stay in the off position it is defective, no matter how you wire it, and needs to be replaced.

How do you know if the circuit breakers are damaged when an electrical shock just happened?

If you suspect the circuit breakers are damaged after an electrical shock, look for signs like physical damage, a tripped breaker that can't be reset, or burn marks/smoke near the breaker. Additionally, check for any unusual sounds, such as buzzing or crackling, coming from the breaker panel. It's essential to have a qualified electrician inspect and repair any damaged circuit breakers to ensure electrical safety.

Why is a power outlet not working?

It could be caused by any number of problems, from faulty wiring to a damaged neutral wire at the breaker panel or meter base. If you do not have experience working with wiring, stay clear. It can result in personal injury of even a house fire. This is exactly the type of problem that results in electrical fires. You should have it checked out as soon as possible.


What is the recommended load for a 30 amp breaker?

The recommended load for a 30 amp breaker is typically 24 amps, which allows for a 20% safety margin to prevent overheating and ensure safe operation. This is based on the National Electrical Code (NEC), which advises that continuous loads should not exceed 80% of the breaker's capacity. Therefore, for short-term or non-continuous loads, a 30 amp breaker can handle up to its full rating of 30 amps, but it's best to stay within the recommended limits for safety.


Does a molecule stay in fixed position when heated?

When a molecule is heated, it gains kinetic energy and its atoms vibrate at a higher frequency. This increased thermal motion causes the molecule to shift position, rotate, or even break apart depending on the strength of the intermolecular forces holding it together. So, a molecule does not stay in a fixed position when heated.

What do you do if one of the breakers in the breaker box isn't working?

If a breaker in the breaker box isn't working, first ensure that the breaker is fully in the "on" position. If it trips again immediately or doesn't stay on, turn it off and check for any overloaded circuits or damaged wiring connected to that breaker. If the issue persists, consider replacing the breaker or consulting a licensed electrician for a thorough inspection and repair to ensure safety. Always prioritize safety and avoid working on electrical systems unless you are qualified to do so.

Can a motorized lift chair cause a breaker to trip?

A breaker trips because the circuit load has tried to draw more current that the circuit is designed to operate at. You have to establish what the total current draw of the device is. This can be found on the manufactures label. There it will state what the normal amperage draw is for the specific piece of equipment. If the breaker has tripped, look for the cause and rectify the problem before resetting the breaker. If you found the problem and corrected the cause, the breaker will reset and stay in the on position.
