Power strip trips then goe back on is this safe?

If the power strip trips it is trying to tell you something. To much load. If it goes back on by itself then there is a problem with the power strip it is supposed to be a manual reset. If it doesn't trip when you take some of the load off then there is nothing wrong with the power strip. Add up all the load amperages and see what they total. My power bars are rated at 15 amps, if yours are the same any amount of amperage over that will trip them.


What is the solution to reducing a circuit breaker from tripping in 1956 home?

The circuit breaker trips when the circuit it is protecting is overloaded. That happens when the wire is at its limit for carrying current. The solution might be to instal an additional power circuit in the house and to make sure the supply from the street is adequate. In both cases an electrician can advise.

My circuit breaker keeps popping I have replace the 2-prong outlet with a 4-outlets and why is it still popping?

A breaker trips when there is too much current. If you unplug everything on the circuit and the breaker still trips then you have a wiring problem or a bad breaker. From your description it is not possible to be certain if the problem started when you installed new outlet or previously. You have to describe your problem in better detail to get a good answer. When you have a circuit that trips the corresponding breaker, you need to go through each outlet on the circuit and rule it out as the problem. This can be done by pulling each outlet, from the wall and systematically remove wires from outlets while power is off and determining when problem goes away.
