Why did the breaker trip when you unscrewed a burnt out bulb?
This is a condition that should not happen under normal conditions. In North America the smallest home breaker is 15 amps. If a fault current is higher that the breaker setting the breaker will trip.The only way the breaker could have tripped is, if when screwing the bulb out, the feed wires feeding the light socket turned and shorted out against each other.Turn the power feed off and thoroughly check the feed wires. Make sure that the insulation is good all the way to the terminal points.As a side note, if the circuit that the fixture is connected to is fully loaded to say 13 amps it would only take an additional 2 amps to trip the breaker. If the bulb flashed when you started turning the bulb out, this is most likely what happened.
Can you use a double 30amp breaker to feed 2 15 amp?
no, load will brake at 30 not 15 as needed
Can you use a 40 amp breaker to feed a sub panel?
Yes, you can use a 40 amp breaker to feed a sub panel. The wire from the 40 amp breaker must be #8 or larger. If you intend to use the full 40 amps a larger conductor must be used. Conductors can only be loaded to 80% capacity in continuous load conditions. A #8 wire is rated at 45 amps x 80% = 36 amps. The suggested size would be a #6 rated at 65 amps x 80% = 52 amps.
Is 60 amp breaker good for 225 stick welder?
The 225 amps is the secondary output amperage. Look on the machines nameplate to find the input amperage. It is that amperage that is needed to size the feed wire and there the breaker size. When you find that amperage you may want to re question the breaker size.
What do you think would happen if you put a 3A fuse in a plug used for kettle?
I know what would happen. The three amp fuse would blow. Any device that is plugged into a receptacle with out having sufficient resistance to limit the current flow will dead short the circuit and cause the breaker that feeds the circuit to trip. In this case the fuse being of a lower rating that the feed breaker the fuse will blow without tripping the receptacle's feed breaker.

I have a Transformer 480 primary 208 secondary feeding 1 200amp mb 42 space panel I need to feed a subpanel 6 ft away I'm thinkin feed through lug at top of bus or at feed through MB suggestions?
The sub-panel need to be fed from the main panel, by way of a circuit breaker connected to one of the breaker locations. Or if your sub-panel has a main breaker installed you can feed from the main panel with a sub-feed lug kit. This looks like a breaker, but is only a point where you can branch off the sub panel.
What is the kw input on a 50amp breaker with a 208v three phase electrical feed?
7200
Where would a 100 amp breaker be used?
In a residential application it would most likely be used as the breaker for the entire main electric panel or a subpanel feed.
What household item can you feed ladybugs?

They are helpful, because they can feed bugs on common household pests
All of the neighborhood strays come to my house but I don't feed them. Why do they still come?
Because you feed them.
What is the purpose of a back feed breaker in an electrical system?
The purpose of a back feed breaker in an electrical system is to prevent electricity from flowing back into the grid, which can cause safety hazards and damage to equipment. It helps ensure that electricity flows in the intended direction and protects the system from potential issues.
Can you use a double 30amp breaker to feed 2 15 amp?
no, load will brake at 30 not 15 as needed
What is different between feeder breaker and motor breaker?
You have to be careful with terms in the electrical field, Example: Main Feeder Circuits will feed a Transformer for distribution and each of those main circuits might feed numbeous Motor control centers. However each of those circuits could be called a main feeder for the motor control center. Confusing. We have High Voltage Transmittion tansformered down for Distribution. So normally a Feeder Breaker will feed Main circuits that will be used for distribution. Example Your home panel will have a main feeder circuit to the whole panel and distribution breakers to you home.
