Hi again,

Should have asked this as part of my previous circuit breaker question, but
forgot:

Is it common or typical for an "old" house service box circuit breaker
(perhaps 25 yrs old) to go bad,
and trip by itself, even if there is nothing wrong with the circuit it is
controlling ?

What's a "typical" life for these things ?

Thanks again,
Bob

yes it is............ breakers are designed to become more sensitive
as they age, and its more common for a breaker to become super
sensitive if its on a heavily loaded circuit.

theres no set life. but do replace the questionable breaker
