Ocean breakers are large waves that form and break typically near the shoreline. They are caused by the interaction of wind, currents, and obstacles in the water. Breakers are important for coastal erosion and the formation of beaches.
When waves grow so tall that they topple over, they form ocean breakers called "whitecaps." These whitecaps are created when wind causes the wave crest to become unstable and break, leading to the formation of foamy white waves.
The Breakers Mansion in Newport, Rhode Island, got its name because it is located on a rocky promontory that breaks the waves of the Atlantic Ocean. The mansion was built by the Vanderbilt family between 1893 and 1895 and is considered a symbol of the Gilded Age.
Bay to Breakers was created in 1912.
GE circuit breakers with catalog numbers ranging from THQL1115 through to THQL1150 can be substituted like for like with Cutler-Hammer circuit breakers coded CL115 through to CL150, ITE Siemens circuit breakers coded Q115 through to Q150 and Square D circuit breakers coded HOM115 through to HOM150. These are single pole breakers. GE circuit breakers with catalog codes from THQL2115 through to THQL2150 can be substituted with Cutler-Hammer circuit breakers CL215 through to CL250, Square D circuit breakers HOM215 through to HOM250 and ITE Siemens circuit breakers Q215 through to Q250 of the same amperage and voltage. These are double pole breakers.
Bryant breaker boxes typically use Bryant circuit breakers. It is important to use breakers specifically designed for the Bryant panel, as using incompatible breakers can cause safety hazards. Always consult the manufacturer's guidelines or an electrician for the appropriate breakers to use.
