If you have breakers tripping and you are using an electrical motor of any type that could trip your breaker. The new type of breaker and may I say it's not the fault of The Villages is called an Arc fault breaker not a ground fault breaker. There are new breakers that will support a motor but don't replace an arc fault breaker or(afci)with a standard breaker because if you go to sell your house and have an inspection you will probably fail the inspection. Best talk to a smart electrician on this one. And if you already know this then disregard all of the above.
