Why does your pump blow circuit breakers when you have connected to the pool but not in the garage?
This is in most cases an indication that the pump is becoming worn and is drawing too many amps, more than the circuit breaker is made to handle.
Another possibility is that there is a grounding situation with the power wires leading to the pump, or a faulty breaker.
Your pressure setting may be too high, and the pump can not attain that set point and overloads.

When did circuit breakers replace fuses in homes?
Circuit breakers started replacing fuses in homes in the 1960s and 1970s as a safer alternative for protecting electrical circuits. Circuit breakers are more convenient as they can be reset, whereas fuses need to be replaced when they blow.
Is a circuit breaker an alternative fuses?
Circuit breakers do the same thing as fuses. They interrupt current flow when a certain preset point is reached. The difference between circuit breakers and fuses are that circuit breakers are resettable and reusable, whereas fuses are one time devices that must be replaced after they blow.
How are fuses and circut breakers alike and different?
Each senses current and opens when its design limitations are exceeded. They are both used to protect you. Fuse's are intergrated into the circuit, and will blow at a certain point ( for example; if too much current runs through it ) If a fuse blows it will shutdown the whole circuit, thus protecting you from the dangerous level of current.Circuit breakers work very similar. When they detect an excess amount of current they act as a switch and go to the OFF position and shutdown the circuit for your safety.For more information see related links below.Both stop conducting when there is an over-current condition. Their purpose is to prevent wires from overheating and possibly burning in an attempt to prevent damage from heat/fire.
Do you connect a fuse to the live wire or the neutral wire?
A fuse is typically connected to the live wire in a circuit. This is done to protect the circuit from an overload or short circuit, as the fuse will blow or trip and cut off the current flow if there is an issue.
What happens if power rating of an appliance is exceeded?
Exceeding the power rating of an appliance can lead to overheating, electrical fires, or damage to the appliance. It can also trip circuit breakers or blow fuses in your home's electrical system. It is important to only use appliances within their specified power ratings to ensure safe operation.

What would happen if circuit breakers were not installed?
I am guessing when i say this because I am judging from the name circuit breakers. I think the electricity would over load thus causing it to blow up. A circuit breaker is nothing more than a re-settable fuse. If they are not installed in a circuit then any overload will result in heat being generated above the capacity of the circuit. This will result in damage to components or in the worse case, a fire.

Will amp blow out if connecting the ground wire to the power wire while connected to amp?
Since the resulting short circuit would be outside the amp, it WOULD NOT blow the amp.

Is a fault?
An electrical fault is where the electrical current goes where it is not intended to go. Usually this is the quickest and shortest return path to the electrical supply service. An electrical fault will trip breakers and blow fuses in the circuit as protection to stop the short circuit.

Which fuse controls the door locks on a 1993 Lincoln Town Car?
Door locks are protected by circuit breakers. A surge of power to a fuse would cause it to blow. They are located in the fuse panel.
Why does a transformer blow the circuit breaker on the primary side if it is not connected to a load on the secondary side?
A normal transformer should not blow the primary side breaker when it is not connected to a load on the secondary. If it does, something is wrong. Check for shorted or burned windings. Make sure that it is indeed disconnected from the load - it might still be connected to something that is also presenting a fault.
What causes tail light and dash light to blow its fuse?
The circuit is shorted. ie. the positive side is directly connected to the negative (ground). If the fuze didn't blow, it would heat up and possibly start a fire.
What happens if dc supply is connected to incomer of transformer?
If a DC supply is connected to the incomer of a transformer, you effectively have a short circuit, because the DC impedance of a transformer (actually, any inductor) is quite low. You will blow something.
Where is the blow dryer on wimpy wonderland?
you go into the garage and the there should be an orange leafblower (a.k.a) blow dryer
