A circuit breaker does not "cause" smoke. A circuit breaker "breaks" a circuit when there is too much current, creating a hazardous condition for the wires that are connected to the circuit breaker.
The circuit breaker PROTECTS you from electrical fire.
Find the source of the smoke; what burned?
If a circuit breaker tripped during the incident, it is usually caused by melting/burning wire insulation, either inside or outside of an appliance. If the insulation inside the walls of your house has burned/melted, it could be that the circuit breaker was too large for the wire or that the circuit breaker failed to shut off at the appropriate current load.
If the circuit breaker failed, your insurance should help you.
If an appliance overloaded the circuit, your insurance should help you.
If someone connected an oversized circuit breaker, causing the wire to overheat, your insurance company may refuse to help you.
A bad circuit breaker. Replace it.
the circuit breaker spark when it comes an over load, loss contact,but the probable cause is loss contact...and also the circuit breaker is going to be damage or destroyed.
If your smoke detector is bleeping you have a serious risk of fire and the circuit breaker must not be reset until the fault that caused it to trip is investigated.
If you are asking if you can change an 8 Amp Circuit Breaker to 15 Amps, the answer is no. If there is an 8 A breaker in place it is sized to protect the wiring and devices on the circuit. Increasing to 15 A would defeat this protection and could cause a fire or cause a connected device to be destroyed with higher amperage.
A circuit breaker will trip if it is faulty or if the connected circuit has a short circuit or a connected device is trying to draw more current than the breaker rating. If you disconnect the output wire from the breaker and it still trips, it is a faulty breaker. If the breaker is tripping immediately when it is turned on then start disconnecting elements of the circuit to see what might be causing the problem. If everything was working and now isn't, it is likely that the wire from the breaker is nicked where it exits the box and is shorting to the feedthru connector.
Homeowners Insurance is not made to cover maintenance. Coverage is determined by the cause of the damage. If it is a "covered cause" and is sudden and accidental the it is probably covered. If not it isn't.
There are two conditions that would cause a breaker to trip off. One is an overload of the circuit and the other is a short circuit on the circuit. The heating element within the breaker is what monitors for circuit overloads.

No. A circuit breaker is like a fuse, it protects a circuit from a catastrophe if a dead short should occur.
Overloaded circuit, short in circuit, or defective switch.
Look for the cause of the trip and correct. Reset the circuit breaker. If it continues to trip it might be an overloaded circuit, loose connections in the circuit, or a short in the wiring somewhere.
Settling of earth is not a covered cause of damage. For this reason, the homeowner's insurance will not cover replacement of the windows. This is a maintenance issue that is your responsibility as the homeowner. Maintenance is never covered by the homeowner's insurance. Sorry.
It is possible if the circuit breaker has tripped or is faulty. The best way to check is by unplugging the air conditioner, and plugging in a table lamp. If the lamp lights up, then you know that the circuit breaker is working, if not then it is faulty.
Yes! A socket is a part of a circuit. Usually there are a number of sockets and lights associated with a specific circuit. The wiring of the circuit and the circuit breaker are limited to a specific amperage. If you exceed the amperage, you can blow the breaker. If the wire is rated for 15 amps and the circuit breaker is rated for 20 amps, the wires can overheat and cause fires.
If your smoke detector is bleeping you have a serious risk of fire and the circuit breaker must not be reset until the fault that caused it to trip is investigated.
