When breakers are in the off position all you have to do is just click over once. If the two wires touch therefore, allowing the breaker to go off then, you would click the breaker to the off position and then click it back to the on poition. if the breaker cuts back off again please it is very important that you call an electitrian.

∙ 14y agoSome breakers snap in, some bolt in. It depends on the specific panel. In either case, you would be doing this in a hot panel, so it is better left to a professional if you're not absolutely sure of what you are doing. <><><> Breaker change out Shut the main breaker off and use a battery light source to see what you are doing. After removing the panel cover you will be able to see what type of breakers are in the panel. There are two types, push-in or bolt-in. Shut the breaker you want to change-out to the off position. Remove the load wire from it. If the breaker is a push-in type, pry with moderate pressure in a direction to the side of the panel while lifting up on the breaker. If it is a bolt-in type just unscrew it from the bus bars. Install your new breaker: with a push-in breaker seat it firmly onto the bus with a hard push. With a bolt-in beaker a bit of caution should be taken not to cross-thread the screw into the bus. If this connection is not tight, arcing could result. Over time this connection could fail and may cause the panel to be changed out due to bus failure. Don't over torque the screw. Replace the load wire and cover and you are done. As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

What breakers are compatible with ge breaker boxes?
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.
When the test button is pressed on a gfci outlet it sparks and trips two breakers in the main panel What could be the problem?
The test button should only trip the GFCI. The fact that it is tripping two breakers indicates that somehow both breakers are feeding your GFCI circuit. I have seen this when there was a wiring error and two circuits were joined in an outlet that was connected to a breaker and through the GFCI outlet. To troubleshoot determine which outlets are effected when both breakers are off. Pull outlet from box and if there are two feeds remove one from outlet and run a toner on wire left on outlet to panel and one off outlet to panel. The GFCI could block the toner so if one side of the outlet does not tone back to panel check at GFCI. There must be two paths to your electric panel for the two breakers to trip and the GFCI may be faulty as well. Another way to check is to have the GFCI reset and both breakers on. Check each outlet that you have identified as being on GFCI noting that they can be in different rooms. With all outlets working turn off one of the tripped breakers. See if any outlets so off. If not turn off the other breaker and turn on the first breaker. If power is still present then the outlets are being fed by both breakers.
