I have a circuit breaker that constantly trips.It trips whether I have
things turned or off.Does the breaker need replacing or is it a problem in the wiring in the house? |

List the items that are powered through this breaker. If everything is
off and your breaker trips there is something seriously wrong. One time this was happening to me and I found out I didnt have everything powered off (ie the AC) so I went to check the AC unit and when the breaker was flipped there was a big arc of electricity inside the AC unit. Had to have some work done on it. |

Could be either. Breakers are cheap. Replace it and see if the problem remains. If yes, its wireing and you have a spare breaker. -- Rich Greenberg Marietta, GA, USA richgr atsign panix.com + 1 770 321 6507 Eastern time. N6LRT I speak for myself & my dogs only.

I had a case of a bad GFIC breaker. When we had thunderstorms it
would tend to kick out. At first I wasn't sure what was happening. The problem continually got worse until just about any lightning would set the breaker off. I replaced the breaker and have had no problems since. On 13 Jan 2005 14:31:03 -0800, "Mike" wrote: List the items that are powered through this breaker.
