I've unplugged every device on the effected circuit and when I try to switch to the on position it immediately pops back to off.
EDIT: Would I still get a short even if nothing was on in any of the rooms that lost power? I've unplugged every device on the effected circuit and when I try to switch to the on position it immediately pops back to off.

Ouch! You either have a dead short, or a bad breaker. Check the recepticles on the line that is tripped. You may have smoked something on one of the recepticles and it is shorting out. If this is the case, you may see burned or charred material on the recepticle.

You can check to make sure the breaker is ok by removing the wire attached to it and then try to reset the breaker. If the breaker holds, you will have to check all the recepticles/appliances associated with that circuit by removing the covers and checking to make sure the hot wire is not touching the ground or neutral in those recepticles. Leave the wire off the breaker when you do this.

If you are uncomfortable doing this, call in a pro.

Good luck!

How much would it be for an electrician to replace a ciruit power box?

I have a power or ciruit box outside my house leading to my AC unit outside. The box is corroded and the wires are loose. This is obviously hazzardous and needs to be replaced. How much should an electrician charge for such work?

There are 1001 variables to your question.. Just best to call for multiple estimates.

How can I represent more than one ciruit in acircuit diagram when they overlap?

I need to make a ciruit diagram for my car project. Howeber I am not sure how to show the motor circuit separate from the lights circuit. Can you color code the different wires that belong to each circuit or is their a specific way how to do it?

Check an owner's manual for an example of how they do it.

Google "wiring diagram' and see if some show up.

Black lines are used with colors labeled at both ends.

Good luck!.

Can anyone explain to me what is the purpose of a zero detection circuit? If possible can u include a few diagrams? thanks alot.

Zero crossing detection is used in several applications. It is particularly important in magnetic digital recordings. These are recorded as "transitions" from one polarity of magnetization to another, each transition representing a "bit". The location of these transitions is used to decode the recording. Since the transition goes from a positive value to a negative value (or vice versa) the zero crossing identifies the location of the transition.

Zero crossing detectors are used in frequency counters, time interval meters as well.

Another application is in electrical power control switching circuits. These circuits control power by interrupting the current flow for a number of AC cycles. Voltage spike and electrical noise are minimized if the switching occurs at the beginning or end of cycles, at the point where the voltage is momentarily zero. A zero-crossing detector controls the switching so that it occurs at close to zero voltage of the cycle.

How do I wire up a capacitor so that it gives pulses to another ciruit and is constantly recharged?

So I have a constant flow of electricity to the capacitor, and the capacitor is used to pulse another circuit at will, and it is constantly rehcarging or at least when it pulses the other circuit.

I sound completely lost but can anyone help me?

The easiest way is to use a 555 IC timer.

Just do a yahoo search for 555 astable multivibrator.

you can get the 555 IC in any electronic shop.

Does the state of Illinois have a website simliar to Wisconsin Ciruit Court Access?

If so what is it? In Wisconsin we have a website (free) in which you can look up a person and see any arrest warrents, court cases and such they may have/had.

Visit this website to check on a person if they have a criminal background. http://www.criminalsearches.com/ It lists everyone in the US who were convicted of a crime. Make sure you know their exact birthdate and where they were originally from because people can have the same first and last names. This official website in Illinois lists all inmates with their current mugshots in the Department of Corrections: http://www.idoc.state.il.us/subsections ... efault.asp However, I'm not sure if it lists those who are out of prison. This is an official Illinois' Sex Offender registry list to look up people who are registered sex offenders in your neighborhood: http://www.isp.state.il.us/sor/ This is another website that lists sex offenders in your neighborhood also: http://www.familywatchdog.us/

How many days from purchase do you have to get the Ciruit City Advantage Protection Plan?

Does anyone know how many days from purchase of a home theater item do you have to purchase the protection plan? I couldn't find the answer on their website, and they were closed when I called them.

Usually you can get a better deal from the manufacturer. I would look on-line for extended warranties before contacting Circuit City, once you find a good warranty on-line Circuit City will give you a better price on theirs.

Do those MLG Pro ciruit episodes come on on the ESPN channel?

I want to know so i don`t have to go on the internet just to see them. Do they come on on the channel 30, 31, or 35 ESPN?

Yea they should they always keep saying MLG now airs on ESPN i know Dallas ended (go tD) but Vegas should be on ESPN
