How to tell if 1964 240 V stove plug is tripping the circuit breaker or is the circuit breaker bad?
To determine if the stove plug is tripping the circuit breaker, plug the stove into a different outlet with the same voltage rating. If it doesn't trip the breaker, the issue may be with the original outlet or circuit. If the stove still trips the breaker, it may be a problem with the stove itself. If the circuit breaker seems problematic, consult an electrician to diagnose and fix the issue.
Can you change a 2 prong plug with a three prong plug if you use a GFCI breaker?
NO - it is not safe to do that. A GFCI breaker is only a secondary safety device and your primary safety still depends on the earth wire in a 3-pin supply.
What to do if a plug breaks off in an outlet?

Can you use 6 gauge wire on A extension cord and put 30 amp plugs on it?
If your question is can you use a #6 flexible SOOW cord and put a 30 amp plug on it, then yes. The breaker that feeds the receptacle that the cord will plug into can be no larger than a 30 amp breaker. What limits the cord capacity to 30 amps is the ratings of the plug on the end of the cord.
What happens when you plug a 30 amp appliance into a 50 amp breaker?
If you plug a 30 amp appliance into a 50 amp breaker, the breaker will still function to protect the circuit from overheating due to excess current. However, the appliance may not draw enough current to trip the breaker in case of a fault, potentially causing damage to the appliance. It is generally recommended to match the amperage of the appliance to the appropriate breaker size.

Why when you plug any laptop chargers in the house all the electrics trip?
This shouldn't occur. If only one laptop charger is causing the problem, there may be a short in this charger. If you have tried multiple chargers, I suggest looking at the laptop and seeing if it is the cause."All of the electronics" on one breaker should trip if there is a short in the laptop or charger. The whole house (main breaker at the top of the electric box, usually) should not trip. If this is occurring, you may have a problem with the particular breaker to the plug you are using as well. If this is occurring, I suggest calling an electrician unless you know what you're doing.
What type of plug do you need for a trailer hitch on a Mercury Mountaineer?
The hitch on my 2002 comes with a 4 pin flat plug. But it really depends on the trailer plug. There are adapters for the 5 pin round plugs but you need a brake controller if your trailer has brakes.
How do you plug a dryer?
If you mean installing a plug in your wall for the dryer, I advise calling an electrician unless you know someone who is very experienced and confident with electricity. A dryer requires 220 volts of electricity, twice what most home outlets deliver. A line has to be run from each side of your breaker box through the wall to the where you want the outlet to be (110 volts from each side of your breaker box). If you go to a large home/hardware store, they can show you the right plug to use. Again, electricity is very dangerous, especially when you are working directly with the service panel (breaker box) in your house. Please be safe.

Why does the right turn signal at the trailer plugin come on when i operate the left turn signal?
#1 reason is always bad GROUND. Now you really weren't all that specific about which plug. Trailer plug on the vehicle or actually on the trailer? If it's the plug on the vehicle, I would strongly suspect bad ground or installation was backwards. If on the trailer, merely backwards installation. In any case, get better trailer light performance by running separate ground wires to each individual light socket on the trailer and connect them to the ground wire at the plug so they will be grounded to the vehicle at time of connection. I do this with all of my trailer lighting and never have issues.

How do you wire a dryer plug to a breaker box?
To wire a dryer plug to a breaker box, you need to connect the wires from the dryer plug to the corresponding terminals in the breaker box.

It is recommended to hire a licensed electrician for this task to ensure it is done correctly and safely.
Can you use 40 amp breaker for your lights and plug ins?
If you are referring to house wiring then the answer is no. A breaker protects the wire size that is connected to the breaker. In home wiring most homes are wired with a #14 wire which is rated at 15 amps. That is why the wire is protected by a 15 amp breaker. The correct wire size to connect to a 40 amp breaker is a #8. This size wire is too large to connect to receptacles an light fixture terminals.
