Best Answer

The air conditioner may be faulty and have caused the circuit breaker to trip out.

Or a capacitor in the A/C could have gone bad due to a power spike (such as during a lightning storm), tripping the breaker and then leaving the A/C not working anymore.

Lost electricity to 3 rooms and you checked the circuit breaker and they are all in What else might be the problem?

Cable worked loose. Or there might be another breaker box somewhere else in the house, previously unknown to you.


Is there still current in the overhead wires that lead to a house when the house electricity is off?

Assuming there is not a "power outage" to all houses in the area (otherwise known as a "power cut") then the answer is: Yes, the potential (voltage) is still in the overhead wires that lead to a house when the house electricity is only turned off at its own main switch inside the main breaker box.


Can you run an 110v air conditioner continuous that draws 7.5 amps off of 14 gauge wire with 15 amp breaker?

Yes, when you plug the air conditioner in to an ordinary house receptacle this is the configuration that exists. Just make sure that additional loads on that same circuit are not any more that 7.5 amps or the circuit breaker will trip. For air conditioners it is best to have a dedicated circuit right back to the distribution panel. This means that there can be only one appliance, the air conditioner, on that specific circuit.


If an electrician have a circuit that pulls a load of 10 amps what size breaker must that circuit be protected by?

If you are talking about a breaker in a house panel then a 15 amp breaker would be used. It is the smallest amperage breaker that you will find in a house panel.


You were changing the light bulb in your Kenmore dryer with the power on and hit the hot terminal on the dryer causing a spark the house breaker does not seem to be tripped. model?

It takes a finite amount of time to trip a breaker. The short you caused may not have tripped the breaker. If the dryer is no longer working there may be an internal reset that has tripped.

The circuit breaker obviously breaks the circuit but only in an attempt to stop a surge of electricity going through your house and possibly hurting you if you're using an appliance, or popping light bulbs and most likely starting a fire.

In the electrical circuit of a house the fuse is used?

A fuse/breaker is used to protect the wiring within the home for overheating and catching on fire. When the fuse/breaker detects an excess flow of current beyond the range of the fuse/breaker, within a circuit, it will blow/trip to shut off the flow of electricity in that circuit thus preventing a possible fire.
