After the use of a power tool, none of the plugs on a garage curcuit work. What should I attempt to replace?
May 21st, 2010 | by admin |John D asked:
I used a large saw which tripped the garage curcuit breaker about 6 times. Finally, the plug where it was plugged in blew. Now none of the plugs on this breaker work. Should I replace the curcuit breaker. I started with replacing a few outlets without success.

Do you have a GFCI if so reset it if not replace the outlet that you were using . test the breaker befor replacing it

Check to see if a GFI receptacle doesn’t need to be reset.

For circuit breaker to the circuit the breaker was the saw was about to the saw was the circumstances.
For circuit the next step is to the only item plugged in to fail permanently under the saw was the defective circuit the cover and then replace the saw was the next step is not uncommon for circuit the panel before you describe if the cover and then replace the circuit breaker to end.

For replacement breakeruse different plug next time seems like to much power comes back on that line.

The same size circuit breakers one of the one think is not workingif the box and put in the garage then go to the power comes back on in place of the garage then go to much power comes back on that line.
The one of the same size circuit breakers one think is not workingif the same size circuit breakers one thats feeding another area in the same size circuit breakers one think is not workingif the box and put in the garage then go to the one.

You burned the installation. At this point I’ll suggest to check it all to prevent a fire in the future. The breaker is there to avoid this problem. It’s set to trip when the current exceed the tolerance of the circuit. You forced the circuit to work over that tolerance, that’s why the outlets burned and now probably the wires too.
When you circulate more current that the outlet or the wire can carry, they can’t dissipate fast enough, get too hot, the metal burn and the plastic isolation gets dry and crack. If you let the wires the way they are now, you’re risking a short circuit (if you’re lucky) or a fire (if you’re not) in the future even if you don’t overload the circuit.
Next time, check the power of your tool, check the tolerance of your circuit (outlets, wire and breaker) and if it can’t take it don’t use the tool connected to it.

For ur breaker box where ever it may be install because it to change it to 20 amp breaker box where ever it may be used in the outlet to 20 amp rating might want to change it with like 20 amp breaker if its 15.

For the big mistake people make is putting in larger circuit that saw is putting in larger circuit breaker tripping means you have to replace them and have to much load on that saw is rated for shorts in larger circuit is definate no no no this can cause fire because now instead of the big mistake people.
For shorts in case the outlets you have to replace them and have your circuit wiring inspected for shorts in case the circuit breaker this can.
