There are code rule that allow the use of back feeding specific breakers. Before doing any such action check with the local electrical inspector. If your thoughts are along the line of feeding a generator into the electrical panel during a power failure, don't do it. There is electrical apparatus in the market place now that allows such action, use it. Remember that you can be help liable for any damage to utility company personnel or equipment.
The dryer tripped the breaker. Have it repaired. Don't try to use it again. You could cause a fire.
If there is a possibility of both operating simultaneously, then a 100 amp breaker (actually 80 amp if you can find one), and appropriate wiring would be required. Even if they were not expected to operate simultaneously, it would be prudent to wire as if they were.
Yes as long as the breaker feeding the circuit is protected with a 15 amp breaker. The code states that the over current device can be no smaller than that of the smallest current carrying conductor. That will be the #14 wire with a capacity of 15 amps.
You can. Using these size breakers in a 60 amp sub panel might be pushing the limit for breaking the sub panels feeder breaker. The breaker feeding the sub panel will have to be no bigger than 60 amps because of the main bus bar capacity of the sub panel. It would be better to install a 100 amp sub panel and then there would be a bit of a buffer and you will have the ability to add additional small load circuits.
A circuit breaker is designed to 'break' in a circuit if a short circuit (or other malfunction) occurs. This prevents overheating (or burn-out) of the circuit wires. In older systems, you would need to find which fuse wire has fused and replace it. In a circuit breaker, once the fault has been found and corrected, the breaker is simply switched back on.
To determine the amps of a breaker box, look at the main breaker or label inside the panel. The number on the main breaker indicates the maximum amperage that the breaker box can handle. Make sure not to exceed this amperage to prevent electrical hazards.
The pool light is usually on a 15 amp circuit. The breaker feeding this circuit must have a GFCI rating.
yes
Breaker is a protective device that cuts off the electrical circuit in case of fault. The additional breaker can be provided as backup protection locally, which is known as local back up.
A vacuum breaker does not allow back flow into the potable water system A syphon breaker is normallly installed on a tank that there is a possibility of the tank imploding
Sounds like a 240 volt sub panel feeding a well pump.

Blown fuse or circuit breaker. Wires loose on another outlet in that run feeding that bedroom's outlets.
One can use bottle feeding when one has a baby animal or human. Bottle feeding has a huge advantage over breast feeding because it is not always legal to breast feed in public.
To replace a 15 amp breaker, first shut off the main power to the circuit box. Then, remove the cover of the circuit box and unscrew the old breaker. Disconnect the wires attached to the old breaker, connect them to the new 15 amp breaker, and securely screw it in place. Finally, turn the main power back on to restore electricity.
Hi! The circuit breaker is located at the Back of the Driver's Seat.
push breaker all the way OFF, wait 30 sec, turn breaker back on,
