This is pullout disconnect switch. Pull out on the "T" handle to disconnect the circuit. If the word ON is right side up and reinserted the circuit is made. If the work OFF is right side up and reinserted the circuit is off. Some disconnects are fused, they have two cartridge fuses under the cover beneath the pull out. These may need to be replaced if power is not reestablished.

20 amp breaker power verse 15amp breaker power?

The 20A breaker can handle (25%) more power than the 15A breaker, because of this the wires used inside the walls is larger. Some circuits must be 20A, the laundry and kitchen are examples of 20A circuits.


Why is the power off on on breaker when it is not flipped off?

Turning the breaker on allows the power to flow through to the outlets, lights, and appliances on that circuit, so yes power goes to and through a turned on breaker. If the breaker is off, but the main power is on, power still get to the breaker, usually from the bus bar that runs down the middle of the back of the breaker box.


When a circuit breaker trips in what position will you find the operating handle?

The operating handle will be found in mid throw. On smaller type electrical breakers there is a small trip indicator window and a red flag will be visible when the breaker has tripped. On larger physical size breakers you will definitely see that the handle is not in the off or on position. To reset any size breaker move the handle to the full off position. You might hear a click but you will definitely feel the internal mechanism re-latch to the off position. This has reset the breaker, move the handle to the on position and normal electrical power will have been restored. If you get an instantaneous trip after a reset do not try and reset the breaker again. Find the cause of the short circuit and get it repaired. Constant and repetitive resetting will destroy the breaker and increase the temperature of the short circuit. If the short circuit is in a highly combustive area this is not good. Find the problem and get it repaired.

Can you glue the outside handle on a 92 Geo Metro?

Both inside and outside plastic handles are very delicate and break very easy. People seem to try to open the doors when the lock is engaged to lock the door. At 50.00 to 100.00 a door handle i decided to attempt repair. I am repairing the driver side inside plastic door handle using a Dremel 3/4 inch circular saw. Using the hottest glue used on PVC plastic piping, i created a weld so tight it was extraordinary. I then use heavy scrap plastic above and below the spindles. I drilled clear through to the new supporting plastic and i made a few plastic dowels from scrap model plastic "trees" for support. I drilled a hole for the latch and the handle worked. I treat that door handle really nice.
