Well it depends on the wattage of the bulbs. At 120 V, with power = current x voltage, you have power = (15 A) x (120 V) = 1800 watts. So if you have 100 W bulbs, then the maximum possible before the breaker should trip is 18 bulbs. It is not a good idea to operate near the limits of the circuit design, though.

Why is the circuit breaker tripping?
The circuit breaker is tripping because there is an overload of electrical current flowing through the circuit, which can be caused by too many devices plugged in or a short circuit.
How does a circuit breaker trip and what causes it to do so?
A circuit breaker trips when there is an overload of electrical current flowing through it. This can happen when too many devices are plugged into the circuit or if there is a short circuit. When the current exceeds the breaker's capacity, it automatically shuts off to prevent overheating and potential fires.
Why does tripping the breaker occur and how can it be prevented?
Tripping the breaker occurs when there is an overload of electrical current flowing through the circuit, causing the breaker to shut off to prevent damage or fire. This can be prevented by avoiding overloading the circuit with too many appliances or devices, using the correct size and type of breaker for the circuit, and addressing any underlying electrical issues.
Where can a hydraulic breaker be bought?
There are many outlets from which one can purchase a hydraulic breaker. One of the best ways to find these places would be through Bobcat's website, which offers a list of dealers near a given ZIP code.
How many 75 watt bulbs can be placed on track lighting with 20 amp breaker?
Theoretically a 75 watt bulb at 120 volts draws .625 amps. You would add the individual currents to determine maximum amperage. That would be 32 bulbs. However, you would then be right on the edge and breaker would likely trip often. You should de-rate to 80% of the breaker rating or 16 amps in this case. That would be 25 bulbs. You should also check to see if there is a maximum amperage or wattage rating on the track. Twenty Five bulbs will create quite a heat source.
How many electrons flow through a light bulb each second if the current through the light bulb is A?
The number of electrons flowing through a light bulb each second can be calculated using the formula I = nqf, where I is the current, n is the number of electrons, q is the charge of an electron, and f is the frequency. By rearranging the formula, we get n = I / (q*f). Substituting the values of I, the charge of an electron, and the frequency into the formula will give you the number of electrons flowing through the light bulb each second.
How long will a light bulb last?
An average lifespan is 2000 hours. It depends on how many on off cycles it is put through. The more cycles from hot to cold shortens the life of the bulb.
What happens when a bulb is attached to a battery?
When a bulb is attached to a battery or a cell as scientists call it, the bulb glows. If you want a bulb to glow more and more brighter, it depends on how many batteries you attached to the bulb. If you attach a lot of batteries at the same time, the bulb might even explode or burn out. The wires that hold the interaction between a light bulb and the battery is electricity. The electricity flows through the wires and touches the bulb and that is how a light bulb glows.
How many lights can run off a 15 amp breaker?
Generally, a 15 amp breaker can safely handle around 1440 watts of power. The number of lights that can run off this breaker depends on the wattage of each light. As a guideline, if each light consumes around 60-75 watts, you can safely run about 16-24 lights on a 15 amp breaker.
Why does the main circuit breaker keep tripping?
The main circuit breaker keeps tripping because there is an overload of electrical current flowing through the circuit, which can be caused by too many appliances running at once, a short circuit, or a faulty electrical component.
SMy Breaker box is tripping one of my 20A's How many times can I just reset it before I have to shut it down?
If you have contineous tripping on a breaker then there is a fault on the load of that breaker. Don't reset it any more. What is the breaker connected to?
If a breaker is rated for 30 amps and is 2 poles is it ok to put an appliance that draws 50 amps?
The number that is on a breaker is the amount of amperage that the breaker can deliver before it trips. This is the same regardless of how many poles the breaker is.
