Breakers tripping
 

Does anyone else have their breakers tripping repeatedly?

Which breakers, and what's plugged in ??

I though the title meant spring breakers! silly me! ;)

Is it in your living room?

For me it is the kitchen. For others it is different rooms. Apparently this generation of breakers have issues. I am just wondering how many others are dealing with the issue of ELECTRICAL BREAKERS NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH SPRING BREAKERS...that was funny.

You still under warranty? If so call them immediately. Or find someone in the neighborhood to take a look at your electrical stuff who knows what he is doing.

We are so far beyond that Gracie. TV is well aware. Apparently there are several issues on of which is if there is any ham radio within x amount of distance, houses have problems. The company that makes the breakers is trying to figure out what to do - they actually flew down from Pittsburg a couple weeks ago but they haven't been able to come up with a solution. It is a mess but we have electric people at our houses two to six times a week. It just goes on and on and I am getting very tired of it. I was trying to determine how many other people are finding the same irritation.

O. Sounds like a conspiracy. Hmmm.:shocked:

Why not just replace them with another brand that doesn't have problems?
That is a very unusual problem.

We have not tripped our breakers but did lose power sometime after going to bed both Monday and Tuesday nights.
We live S. of 466A.

Our breakers trip in our new home when I try to use my older vacum cleaner and the lanai GFI trips when hubby tries to use the shop vac, yet he can plug into indoor outlet with no problems. Used older vacum cleaner in rental home in Hadley with no problems. Found out the breakers used in new housing are very sensitive to surge. We are considering having the breakers replaced with another brand.

Conspiracy? Doubtful. They can't replace them with another type because of some national safety regulation. This is the third generation because there were problems with the second which tripped with hairdryers and vacuums. I really don't understand arcs and electrical terms...and this really wasn't meant to be a whining thread. I just wanted to hear if others are experiencing similar issues. Apparently it is localized.

schisamax: You said type and the suggestion was brand. It would seem that a different brand for this 3rd generation GFI exists somewhere?

My understanding is TV must use this brand Eton.

Calling all electrician
 

That is just wrong. So sorry for your dilemma....Hmmmm wonder why?
