Can rodent damaged romex cause gfci to trip?
Yes, rodent damage to Romex can cause a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) to trip. Rodent chewing on the wiring can expose the copper inside, leading to a ground fault. When the exposed wire contacts a grounded surface or another wire, the GFCI will trip to prevent electric shock or fire hazard.
How does a ground fault circuit interrupter work?
== == If the current in an ac power circuit is not balanced between hot and neutral, possibly meaning some of the current is going through a human being to ground, a GFCI breaker or receptacle will break the circuit to keep the person from being electrocuted.
What are the names of all the parts inside a breaker box?
Common parts inside a breaker box include circuit breakers, bus bars, terminal screws, neutral bars, ground bars, and a cover. The circuit breakers are used to control the flow of electricity to different parts of the building. The bus bars distribute the electricity from the main circuit to the individual circuits. The terminal screws connect the wires to the breakers, while the neutral and ground bars provide paths for neutral and grounding wires, respectively. The cover protects the internal components from dust and accidental contact.
Can a gfci get weak and trip from over load?
First, lets say this: GFCI stands for Ground-Fault Circuit Interupter. This is NOT an over-current device, and NOT an over-load device. This device stop the flow at 6mA (6/1000 of an amp) of leakage current - current leaking to ground from either the hot or neutral wire. Do you mean a GFCI breaker or a GFCI receptacle?? GFCI receptacles do not "trip on overload". Period. The only over-current protection on a receptacle is provided by the circuit breaker protecting that branch circuit. GFCI breakers are ALSO over-current devices just like normal breakers. And yes, they DO get weak, just like standard breakers do from repeated tripping. They basically have a metal strip inside that gets bent and straightened each time you trip & reset the breaker. All metal gets weak when it gets bent & straightened repeatedly. It is called "metal fatigue".
Which forms of potential energy are inside a battery circuit?
In a battery circuit, the potential energy is stored in the form of chemical potential energy within the battery. This energy is converted into electrical potential energy when the battery is connected in a circuit and used to power devices.
What is the symbol for special-purpose outlets?
The symbol for special-purpose outlets can vary depending on the specific purpose. For example, the symbol for a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet is a rectangle with two vertical lines and a curved line inside. The symbol for an AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet typically includes a rectangle with the letters AFCI inside.
What is the difference between inside and outside electrical boxes?
An outside electrical box has a watertight in-use outlet cover so even when a cord is plugged in the outlet stays covered. That is the main difference between the outside box and inside box. An outside box also uses a ground fault circuit interrupter.

What is the second function of circuit breaker?
The two functions a circuit breaker can do is protect the circuit from a high current short circuit and through its thermal trip it can protect the circuit from overload conditions. A circuit breaker will trip if too large a draw or current flow occurs across a thermal shunt inside, it can also have a ground fault circuit interrupter integrated internally in case of a difference in potential between neutral and ground resulting from voltage leakage from appliances or to protect against potential electrocutions A double circuit breaker provides access to the 2 legs of 120V in the back plane on the breaker panel. There are now typically 4 wires away from this breaker, a bare ground or earth ground, a white wire for neutral or bonded ground, a black wire for 1 leg of 120 and a red or blue wire for the 2nd leg of 120. You can use either leg and the white wire to access 120 or use the black and red/blue to access 240, white would then be used on the 3rd plug and ground goes to the ground lug or if missing it ties with the white and goes on the 3rd leg.
What make your Jeeps headlights go on and off when turned on?
Probably got a loose ground in the circuit somewhere. Loose connections inside the switch are another possibility.
What does picture in a picture mean?
when there is a picture in a picture, we use the term, "inscribing" This is because, there is a picture, inside another picture.
Why does the wire from the fuse box to the head light switch burn up?
Check the headlight fuse that's INSIDE the box. If an oversized fuse has been put in the fusebox you will have problems with the wire overheating whenever there is a problem in the circuit. There is a short circuit (wire touching chassis ground) somewhere in the lighting circuit, but the wire is burning because an oversized fuse has been put in the circuit.

Which is correct-i can see on this picture or you can see at this picture or you can see in this picture?
The correct phrase is "I can see in this picture," as it refers to looking inside or within the picture itself.

It takes about 1 hour total to do the job in your driveway. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO REMOVE THE VALVE BODY Once the pan is dropped and the filter is removed you will notice the wiring laced threw-out the valve body. These lead to your GPS and Transducer solenoid. I didn't want to go the dealer route and pay big bucks for the Governor Pressure sensor and Governor Pressure solenoid. With a little online searching I found Transtar Industries, Inc. at www.transtarindustries.com Part numbers where 20A-120A for the sensor and 5A-303 for the solenoid. The prices quoted me were just over $120 for both parts. This was $100s better than what the dealer quoted me. This was for a 1997 46RE transmission. Also applies to the 47RE trans.
