Why does your main circuit breaker trip when your dryer runs 15 minutes Is it because your vent needs to be cleaned?

Could be but you could also have a weak breaker that will no longer hold the load of your dryer. That is if your talking about your dryer breaker tripping. If your "main breaker" is tripping you have a different problem. Call an electrician in that case. A plugged up dryer shouldn't be tripping your main

The power window on my 1995 Buick Skylark will only move a few inches at a time and then I have to wait 2-5 minutes before it will move a few more inches. This has been going on for 2 years.?
The reason you have to wait a couple minutes for it to move again is because the circuit breaker has popped and it resets itself after it has cooled off. The reasons the circuit breaker pops in the first place could be, a faulty circuit breaker, a faulty power window motor or the window track is binding.
What should you do if the breaker in a trailer keeps tripping after five minutes?
You should first check to see if you are not overloading the outlets. If you are, just unplug something and reset the breaker. However, this is also a symptom of circuit breaker failure. In that case, replace it with the same amperage breaker of the same or compatible brand.
Why do the headlights on an 88 wrangler turn off after 20 minutes of driving?
Headlights are typically ran through a resetting circuit breaker rather than fuses for safety reasons. If you have added lights to your Jeep on this circuit, they may be too much of a draw. If not, you may look at replacing the breaker as a likely starting point. 20 minutes sounds like just the right amount of time for it to heat up and trip off.
Will a cleaned surface stay bacteria free forever?
No- this is because bacteria can reproduce in minutes due to asexual reproduction.
How does MCCB circuit breaker work?
A Miniature Circuit Breaker or "MCB" works as a normal electrical circuit breaker but is a much smaller device. As well as electro-mechanical relay technology it includes electronic circuitry to achieve its small overall size. MCBs are now used extensively for consumer power-distribution panels and inside small electrical equipment.For more information see the answers to the Related Questions and also the Related link shown below.
What is wrong if your home central air conditioner runs about 20 minutes then throws the breaker in the main control panel?
The circuit breaker might of lower ampere rating. its obviously broken ring for an engineer Could be a few things: faulty start compenents, shorted compressor, faulty condenser fan. Not a good idea to run it until you get it looked at.
Have replaced dimmer switch on my 1985 e150 and headlights still go off after five minutes what do you check next?
Probably a short circuit in system (controlled by and auto-resetting breaker) and is recycling Disconnect one side at a time to try to determine where fault is
When air conditioner is turned on its keeps tripping the circuit breaker its on a 220 line?
Could be a fault with the air conditioner, or the circuit breaker isn't designed to work with it. Does it trip in the first few minutes when turned on? When powering up it draws a peak current, if the CB isn't designed to ignore temporary peak currents then it will think a fault is occurring and trip. You better also check the power cable from the breaker to the outside condensing unit. In my case, the cable was shorting intermittently to ground at the input clamp to the disconnect. Luckily I heard the zapping, then saw the damage, and easily repaired it.
How can you locate the problem if a 1995 Buick Skylark headlights will not shut off?
Try disconnecting your negative battery cable for a few minutes then put it back on, sometimes the lighting circuit gets confused, mine did, removing power from it may reset whatever is confused. That has worked for me with my 1995 Skylark. As a last resort you can remove the headlight circuit breaker or fuse. You would have to put it back in when you drive at night of course.
What is the medium voltage of circuit breaker?
low is below 600V medium 600 to 2500V High above 2500V usually medium and high voltage equipment is called switchgear the current is monitored and 3 shorts within 10 minutes will open the switch overloads are usually 200% for over 20 minutes but the big stuff is programable
