How do you repair short circuit when all appliances are tested to work properly?

If the appliances all test out and are found to have no short circuits in them then the next step is to check the supply conductors that feed the appliances. This can be easily done by unplugging the appliances and turn on its circuit breaker. When voltage to the appliance circuit causes the breaker to trip. this is the circuit with a fault on it. The most likely place is at the receptacle where the appliance plugs into the power supply. Turn the circuit off at the breaker and inspect the receptacle. If it looks suspicious change it out with a new one.


A household circuit can contain many appliances - too many appliances on that circuit can cause what?

Too many appliances on a household circuit can cause overload, which can lead to overheating of wires and potential fire hazards. In addition, overload can trip the circuit breaker or blow a fuse, causing a loss of power to those appliances.


Why does my refrigerator keep tripping the breaker?

The most likely possibility is the refrigerator has a problem and needs to be fixed. Another possibility is the refrigerator is on a circuit that does not have enough current capacity to operate it and other appliances that are on the same circuit.


What does the M mean on a electrical circuit?

It most likely stands for the Mutual Inductance seen between two inductors.


What is One everyday use of a series circuit?

The average light fixture is likely in series with the light switch, and the utility power grid.


Why the deionised water still can be dangerous with the electrical appliances?

Deionised water may still conduct electricity because it can pick up impurities from surfaces it comes into contact with, becoming electrically conductive. This can create a risk of short circuits or other electrical hazards when used with electrical appliances. Additionally, deionised water lacks ions that can help dissipate electrical charges, making it more likely to retain a charge and potentially discharge when in contact with electronic devices.


An example of a parallel circuit?

Every electrical outlet in your house is in parallel with every other outlet in the house.Every AC electrical device in the house ... lights, appliances, computers, clocks, radios ...are all powered and operate in parallel.In fact, all AC electrical devices in all of the houses powered from a single pole transformerare in parallel. The toaster and the microwave oven in your kitchen most likely operate inparallel with your neighbor's sump pump and hair dryer.


Why would using a small kitchen appliance trip the circuit breaker for the bedrooms and not for the outlet that it is plugged into?

Kitchen outlets are rated at 20 amps and only dedicated for the kitchen. code states that there must be two 20 amp circuits supplying kitchen small appliances. bedroom outlets are fed by a 15 amp circuit most likely and that circuit is most likely feeding two rooms or so.


How do you spell crcit?

The likely word is the noun "circuit" (circle, or electrical path).A similar spelling is that of the word critic, meaning analyst or fault finder.

Why does every electrical circuit need a fuse?

Electrical circuits use fuses to prevent electrical overload to the circuit, and possible electrical fires stemming from the overloaded circuit. A household electrical system can be compared to your home's plumbing. Just as water is pressurized coming from a city's water supply, so is the electricity coming from your local utility provider. The pressure of current is "voltage." The current carrying capacity of electrical wires is "amperage." Just as larger wires can handle a greater capacity of water, so may larger guage/diameter wires handle greater voltage. When you go to your local hardware store, you buy wire based on its amperage. Your home is specifically wired according to the placement of appliances or items that use electricity. For example, the outlet behind your refrigerator is most likely a 20 to 30 amp circuit, as the refrigerator demands a greater volume of electricity to keep the items inside it cool. Whereas, the outlet in your bedroom may only be a 15 amp circuit, as the items you plug into it may be a lamp or clock radio, which do not demand as much electricity as a refrigerator. All the electrical circuits in a home begin at a fuse box. The city's power supply is routed into your home's fuse box. In the fuse box, the electricity is distributed to all the electrical circuits in your home. At the beginning of each circuit is a fuse or circuit breaker. The amperage of a fuse or circuit breaker is based upon the demand of power each circuit must serve. The fuse for the circuit that powers your refrigerator is of a greater amperage than the circuit that powers the lamp next to your bed. Inside each fuse is metal element that melts when the circuit is overloaded and gets too hot. The element in a 15 amp fuse melts at lower amperage than would the element in a 30 amp fuse. If you attempted to plug your kitchen's refrigerator into the outlet in your bedroom, the circuit would get too hot, and back at the fuse box, the element in the fuse at the beginning of that circuit would melt or "blow". This essentially breaks the circuit, stops the flow of electricity, keeps the wires in that circuit from overheating, and helps to prevent electrical fires by doing so. Many homes today use circuit breakers in lieu of fuses. The circuit breaker is a spring loaded switch that turns itself off when a circuit becomes overloaded, or gets too hot. I hope that answered your question.
