If the GFI outlet is tripped (the outlet, not the breaker) then it is telling you there is a ground fault which must be fixed. If the GFI outlet is not tripped, and the breaker is not tripped, but it is still not providing power, then you have a loose connection or a wiring error.
What else can I help you with?
Can circuit breaker be bad even getting little electricity?
Yes, a circuit breaker can be bad even if it is getting a little electricity. It may have worn out components or internal damage that prevents it from functioning properly, regardless of the amount of electricity passing through it. If you suspect a circuit breaker is faulty, it is important to have it inspected and replaced by a qualified electrician to ensure the safety of your electrical system.
Why your electric dryer makes breaker hot?
If the circuit breaker to a dryer, or to any load, keeps getting hot and trips the breaker, then either the load is pulling too much current or there is a loose connection in the breaker or breaker panel. Either condition must be fixed to reduce the risk of fire.
What can cause a circuit breaker to suddenly start tripping?
If the breaker trips when nothing is turned on it could be a mouse problem. If it only trips when certain lights or appliances are turned on one of them is probably the reason.If it trips when nothing is being turned on or off something is getting hot. You should then have qualified electrician look at it. Hope this is usefull.
You are getting 110 volts after the circuit breaker but only 50 volts at breaker why?
This could indicate a voltage drop in the circuit due to poor connections, damaged wiring, or a faulty breaker. Check for loose connections, damaged wires, or a malfunctioning breaker as possible causes of the voltage drop. It's important to address this issue promptly to ensure safety and proper electrical function.
Electric wall socket stopped working why?
Try checking your breaker panel for a tripped breaker, sometimes they can trip and it appears to be on still, to be sure turn off all single breakers completely to the off position to reset and then back to the on position. or There could be a switch controlling that paticular recepticle also, so check all switches in the area to be sure that its not just turned off. Sometimes recepticles are wired as (half hots) which means that half of the recepticle is always hot and the other half is switched. Also they can switch the entire recepticle with a switch(both sockets or halves). finnally The connections in one of the boxes between the recepticle and the breaker could be loose preventing power from getting to the recepticle. If this is the case you will need an electrician to locate the loose wire.
What is the function of the fuse or circuit breaker in a circuit?
A circuit breaker/fuse is designed to protect the wiring from getting overloaded.
Can circuit breaker be bad even getting little electricity?
Yes, a circuit breaker can be bad even if it is getting a little electricity. It may have worn out components or internal damage that prevents it from functioning properly, regardless of the amount of electricity passing through it. If you suspect a circuit breaker is faulty, it is important to have it inspected and replaced by a qualified electrician to ensure the safety of your electrical system.
Why is my circuit breaker getting hot and tripping?
Your circuit breaker may be getting hot and tripping due to an overload of electrical current flowing through it. This can happen if you have too many devices plugged into the circuit or if there is a short circuit. It is important to address this issue promptly to prevent damage or fire hazards.
Why is the circuit breaker getting hot without tripping?
The circuit breaker may be getting hot without tripping due to an overload or a faulty connection in the circuit. This can cause excessive heat buildup, which the breaker may not detect as a high enough current to trip. It is important to address this issue promptly to prevent potential fire hazards.
Why your electric dryer makes breaker hot?
If the circuit breaker to a dryer, or to any load, keeps getting hot and trips the breaker, then either the load is pulling too much current or there is a loose connection in the breaker or breaker panel. Either condition must be fixed to reduce the risk of fire.
The wipers wont work on your 1993 Plymouth Grand Voyager LE and you have replaced the fuse the wiper motor and the wiper switch on the steering column so what else can you check or replace?
Bad ground? How do i check this? See if you are getting power to motor? How? Circuit breaker?

Why does an inground hayward pool pump keep shutting off?
Does it run for a brief period then shut off? Could be a capacitor getting ready to fail. Could be getting hot. Is it tripping the circuit breaker?
Is it normal of 50 ampere circuit breaker rating to be hot when load is 17 amps 3 phase at 240volts?
No, the 50 amp breaker should not be getting hot with a 17 amp load. Shut the service off at the disconnect and check the bolts that tighten the breaker to the distribution's bus bars. Check the tightness of the load side of the breaker. if all of these connections are tight then change the breaker out for a new one.
Will an arc fault breaker prevent a person from getting a shock similar to a GFCI breaker?
Yes, it does the same thing as a GFI but also detects if there is an arc in the circuit, frayed wire, plug not in all the way, something that could possible cause a fire.
I replaced the old switch on the sealing fan with the new one and it dint work can you please tell me why?
1. No power coming to your switch. Check your circuit breaker. If it is tripped, you have a "short" somewhere in the circuit. You will have to isolate the circuit. If it's not tripped, go to step 2... 2. A bad switch - Which you already replaced. You might want to check (use a voltmeter) to see if you are getting incoming voltage on your switch. If you are, go to step 3. If there is no power, it means you have a broken wire somewhere in between the switch and the breaker panel. 3. An open wirefrom the the switch to the ceiling fan electrical box. Again, check by using a voltmeter to confirm that the wire on the ceiling fan is getting power when the switch is "ON". If you are getting power go to step 4... 4. Bad ceiling fan - Removed and replace. Note: An open neutral wire (white wire) can also be the cause of the problem. Consult an electrician if you are not sure what to do.
