A breaker bar is used when you need extra leverage to loosen or tighten bolts or nuts that are difficult to turn with a regular wrench. It is especially useful for working on stubborn or rusted fasteners.

What could be the cause of arcing between the buss bar and a breaker?

Arcing between the bus bar and a breaker could be caused by loose connections, excessive load on the circuit, corrosion or physical damage to the components, or poor installation. It is important to investigate and address the root cause promptly to prevent damage and ensure safety.


What colour wire goes to the breaker using 12-2 wire?

For a typical 12-2 wire, the black wire is the "hot" wire that connects to the breaker, the white wire is the neutral wire that connects to the neutral bus bar, and the bare copper wire is the ground wire that connects to the ground bus bar in the circuit panel.


How big of breaker do you use for 115 volt?

Depends on the wire size used in the circuit. If you use AWG # 14 wire you must use a 15 amp breaker. If it is wired with AWG # 12 wire then you use a 20 amp breaker. If a AWG # 10 wire is used then a 30 amp breaker is required. The breaker protects the wiring from overheating so you must use the proper size breaker for the wire used.


Which terminal on a 15 amp household breaker does the hot wire feed into and which one does it come out?

On a 15 amp household breaker there is no terminal on the in feed of the breaker. The breaker either plugs into the distribution panel's bus bar or it bolts to the distribution's bus bars. The feed conductor connects to the load side of the breaker at its terminal lug.


Can you use a 220 breaker in place of 110 breaker on 110 service?

Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.Breakers are rated in amperage and by the amount of poles that they have. Your classification of a 220 breaker is described in electrical terminology as a two pole breaker.Choosing the amperage of the two pole breaker depends upon the 220 volt load that it feeds.Two pole breakers for 220 volt loads.Single pole breakers for 120 volt loads.If the service is only 120 volt then every other bus bar in the panel will be energized. If the panel is a 120/240, then every bus bar in the panel will be energized.This is how and why a 240 volt load requires a two pole breaker.To the answer, yes you an use a two pole breaker in a 120 volt service but only one side of the breaker will have voltage on it depending on where it is situated in the panel board.
