To avoid any short circuit in a house we suppose to have electrical panel with proper size of circuit breakers. These breakers installed to feed a number of circuits in the house which is controlled by the Electrical Code. The breaker ampacity is depend on the load size (light circuits, outlets, microwave, dryer, furnace, cenral vacuum). The individual circuits are calculated depend on the size of the load (like motors, Transformers sucking a lot more power, current when they start) and this will be the base to figure out the proper wire size for feeding the circuit. When a short circuit occurs at the farthers point from the breaker this overcurrent device suppose to open up the circuit to avoid overheating ang fire.

∙ 8y agoThe protection against a short circuit is by having a weak link in the circuit. This is a device called a fuse. A breaker can also serve this purpose of interrupting a fault current. As the current reaches the limit of the short circuit protection it will activate and remove the voltage source from the circuit.

What causes the breaker to trip on a central vac unit?
Maybe you have other electrical drains on that breaker line that cause it to exceed the 15 or 20 amp limit. Fix it.
Is it safe to repair a ripped electrical cord?
No, not by itself. The cord should be replaced. If that is impractical, an electrician can cut out the melted part, connect the wires back together, then tape the wires and then the cord around the repair. This fix is pretty safe and secure.
How gps receiver indicates that it is reverted to DR position fixing?
The GPS receiver in your GPS unit cannot do this, it only provides the GPS fix, quality of the fix (typically as CEP), and whether fix is 3D 2D or No fix. It is the responsibility of the navigation computer connected to the GPS receiver to determine if dead reckoning is needed, how to do it, and what indication if any should be given. I have seen units give no indication at all then show impossible driving moves, while other units (e.g. the TomTom) grey the entire screen in that mode.
