one and a half breaker scheme the same as N-1 scheme. means if you have two BUS you 3 breakers each bay between it protecting your 2 connected loads or transmission lines. meaning if fault detected in a particular line only two breakers will trip isolating the faulted line and will not affect the adjacent line or load.
Yes. An everyday occurrence of this circuitry is in your kitchen counter split receptacles. The top half of the receptacle is a 15 amp circuit and from the same breaker the bottom half of the receptacle is another 15 amp circuit. A two pole single handle breaker is a common trip. If one of the circuits fed from the breaker faults the other connected circuit will shut off also. If you are talking about slot position in a breaker panel, you can remove the two pole breaker and install two single pole breakers.
A GFCI device in a breaker is intended to trip the breaker open when a ground fault is sensed in the circuit that the breaker is protecting.
If it is half the house, that implies the main breaker or the line coming in. Sometimes, double breakers will trip one of them and not the other. It looks like it is still on. Try flipping the breaker off and back on. If you feel comfortable doing it, open up the panel and check each breaker to see if current is getting through them. Just a two prong test light will tell you this. Start on the main, it may be that one of the lines coming in is dead. Looking at the question, you blew a fuse but the breaker does not show a blown fuse. You shouldn't have both in the same circuit. If you have screw in fuses there should be 2 large Buss fuses at the top of the panel. One of these could be blown. These have to be checked with a tester, there is no way to tell just by looking.
a method of interconnecting several circuits and breakers in a switchyard so that three circuit breakers can provide dual switching to each of two circuits by having the circuits share one of the breakers, thus a breaker and one-half per circuit; this scheme provides reliability and operating flexibility, and is generally used at 500 kV when more than five lines terminate in a substation.
When installing a circuit breaker, you size the breaker based on the wire size. The breaker should be matched to the ampacity of the wire to ensure proper protection against overloads and short circuits. The device being controlled by the breaker is not a determining factor in sizing the breaker.
One and half breaker system is an improvement on the double breaker system to effect saving in the number of circuit breakers. For every 2 circuits, 1 spare breaker is provided: Two feeders are fed from two buses via their associated circuit breakers and these two feeders are coupled by a third circuit breaker which is called tie breaker. During failure of any of the two feeder breakers, the power is fed via the breaker of the second feeder and main breaker (tie breaker).
do you mean bender? If so, 5"

The power outage in half of the house was caused by a blown fuse or a tripped circuit breaker.
One side of main breaker is broke. One line to the house is open.
The Vice President casts the tie breaker.
A win breaker is a fart because when you fart or release methane gas from your anus you are splitting the win in half see
A power outage in half of the house without a tripped breaker could be caused by a faulty connection in the electrical wiring, a damaged outlet or switch, or a problem with the electrical panel. It is important to have a qualified electrician investigate and repair the issue to ensure safety and restore power.
A possible cause of a power outage affecting only half of a house could be a problem with the electrical wiring or a tripped circuit breaker in the electrical panel. It is recommended to check the circuit breaker first and contact a qualified electrician if the issue persists.

Yes, Sq D makes a tandem mini breaker that will fit into a standard Sq D breaker slot.
Tight......like 200ftbls tight I get a long breaker bar and stand on it a touch.
