Seems that way. Sometimes circuit breakers will age and just pop without cause. Of course, if you have some short inside that will be responsible for the breaker opening as intended.

A loop is any closed path in a circuit

With 2, 3 and 4 switches. Be aware you need 2 W switches The K switches are different. For you the two wires running between the switches, go on the same points. on the W1 the power comes in on W2 the power goes to the lamp. From the lamp, the return goes to the mains. So the return is not in the picture. You can't extend an existing switch with a second one. You need two new complete different switches.

Youtube has a few videos...

for the most part it's a simple system, that requires three wires, one Hot or Common wire, and two traveler wires,
On one end of the three way the common is the light or wire that goes to the light, two travelers to the next three way switch that usually has power as the common wire... hope this helps?
If not contact me, I can walk you threw the process... thanks

At a home improvement store I purchased a book on electrical wiring. It had diagrams and the info you need. Don't try and do wiring unless you can read and follow directions from a manual, or get hands on help from someone that is experienced in electrical circuits. Conversational directions are not sufficient, unless you are a very capable do it yourselfer.

You can but why not get a new breaker first. Once into the panel and you're done.

An electric brake draws a lot of power. You will need to connect directly to the battery and typically use a 30 amp breaker.

Pretty easy if you can get the wires from the existing wall outlet. Just run a wire from existing outlet to the where you want the new light. Install inside an approved ceiling electrical outlet box and then run another wire to where you want the switch or switches. If you go to home depot or the library you can look at the books with diagrams on how to wire it. You can skip the wall switch if you use a light with a pull chain.

integrated service design inspectional services department is for the utilities department.

you said it yourself. when an electrical device is running it produces amps, with every amp is a unit of heat. breakers are heat sensitive as well. so you might want to consider a new breaker. newer breakers are made out of better materials that are able to displace heat more efficiently. or check to make sure the screws on the terminals where the wires go in are tight. if there is a loose connection that will increase the units of heat traveling through the termination. or, worse case scenario, like when all hope is lost. splice in some more wire, correctly, emphasis on correctly, and relocate the breaker. perhaps use insulation around the breaker, non flammable of course.

Hi Gladys,I'm an electrician and would like to help you out. You should contact your friends and nieghbors to learn of the experiences they have had - both good and bad - with electricians.Ideally, the work they had done was similir to the work you need to have done for a good "apples to apples - oranges to oranges" comparison. Next, you can contact your community's Better Business Bureau. Their recommendation is only for companies that have PAID them to be listed - however - they will tell you how many complaints, etc. they have had with the ones you ask about - so a "recommendation" from them really has little to do with the quality of the work the company performs.Angie's List is an online data base of all kinds of service providers that many people swear by. It does cost to join however, so if your project is only a repair or small job, it may not be the best way to go.Yelp is a free version of Angie's List (but it is NOT affiliated with Angie's List - just to be clear). Here, you'll find ratings from antone that cares to write a review on a business - from Pizza Joints to Dentists.With these sources, you should be able to get a fairly good idea of the reputation of the electricans in your area. I hope this helps & good luck!

There are several R series switches:http://www.canal.com.tw/images/products/r.htm Each appears to have terminal, or solder connections. Electrician uses multimeter set to read ohms to check continuity of unknown switch. Set to read ohms, and then test each terminal with other terminals, then flip the switch and repeat same test. Then connect Hot wire to one terminal on the switch. For example if there are two wires going to a 120Volt light bulb ... then one wire is Hot and the other Neutral. Cut the Hot wire and then connect the two cut ends to switch terminals. So the switch will turn the Hot wire on-and-off. The neutral wire is not connected to the switch.

There must be a short in this circuit. First determine what devices are connected to the circuit that is not working. Unplug any device plugged into the non working outlets. Try again. If unit still trips, Try to start at the logical beginning of the circuit to see if you can begin disconnecting until circuit is clear. It could be a bad switch, light, or receptacle. What does the circuit control?

It is a clear case of metal contacts getting heated/melted/burn out due to overload/short-circuit inside. Please get the circuit breakers replaced with a new one to avoid fire hazard.

You can do it by a UPS like system, but do you think, that you will pay less for it.
Your generator produces power and uses fuel proportional to the output power.
The efficiency of the generator at half or low load is less, than on full, but that of the UPS and the battery is much much less than this.
