   If your circuit breaker keeps tripping, odds are you have a more serious problem. Either your circuit breaker needs to be serviced or your AC has larger electrical system needs. Either way, it’s ...

3. Three-prong adaptor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-prong_adaptor

   A safer and more reliable alternative identified in the US and Canadian electrical codes is to replace the outlet with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) breaker outlet. [3] Cheater plugs are also used to break ground loops in audio systems. [5] This practice has been condemned as disregarding electrical safety.

4. Electrical disruptions caused by squirrels - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_disruptions...

   Electrical disruptions caused by squirrels are common and widespread. Between Memorial Day (May 27, 2013) and August 31, 2013, at least 50 power outages caused by squirrels (POCBS) were recorded in 24 U.S. states. [6]

5. NEMA connector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEMA_connector

   An LCDI cord has a fine wire mesh around the conductors, and circuitry to detect current leaking from the conductors to the mesh, which would happen if the cord were damaged or frayed. The plugs are normal NEMA 5-15, 5-20, 6-15, 6-20, or 6-30 plugs, depending on the air conditioner design, and are typically molded-on designs.

6. Power strip - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_strip

   1.1 These requirements cover cord-connected, relocatable power taps rated 250 V AC or less and 20 A AC or less. A relocatable power tap is intended only for indoor use as a temporary extension of a grounding alternating-current branch circuit for general use. National Electrical Code recognizes power strip as Multioutlet Assembly in Article 380.

7. Residual-current device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residual-current_device

   A residual-current device (RCD), residual-current circuit breaker (RCCB) or ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) [a] is an electrical safety device, more specifically a form of Earth-leakage circuit breaker, that interrupts an electrical circuit when the current passing through line and neutral conductors of a circuit is not equal (the term residual relating to the imbalance), therefore ...

8. Extension cord - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extension_cord

   Yellow NEMA 5-15 extension cord NEMA-1 extension cord, common in the United States Extension cord reel (Germany). An extension cord (US), extension cable, power extender, drop cord, or extension lead (UK) is a length of flexible electrical power cable (flex) with a plug on one end and one or more sockets on the other end (usually of the same type as the plug).

9. Arc-fault circuit interrupter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc-fault_circuit_interrupter

   An arc-fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) or arc-fault detection device (AFDD) [1] is a circuit breaker that breaks the circuit when it detects the electric arcs that are a signature of loose connections in home wiring. Loose connections, which can develop over time, can sometimes become hot enough to ignite house fires.
