Thank you, Darius. Actually, your answer was proper for the fuses in older construction. There are still many home circuits that protected with fuses. I should have agreed with it sooner.

Korki to potoczna nazwa bezpieczników elektrycznych, znajdują się one na wszystkich licznikach. W gospodarstwach domowych wykorzystuje się często bezpieczniki topikowe. Topik to nic innego jak przewodnik elektryczny, który nagrzewa się przez płynący w nim prąd elektryczny. Bezpieczniki porcelanowe czyli topikowe po przepaleniu należy wymienić na taki sam. W bezpiecznikach automatycznych, najczęściej wykorzystywanych w blokach, sprawa jest prostsza, wystarczy wcisnąć przycisk lub przesunąć niewielką dźwignię na swoje miejsce. Służą one jako zabezpieczenie sieci przed niepożądanymi zakłóceniami. Stwierdzenie wybija korki oznacza po prostu, że bezpiecznik wyłączył się z powodu zbyt wysokiego obciążenia naszej sieci elektrycznej.

Pytanie: "O kims kto interesuje sie elektroniką, majstruje i wywala korki" - zatem jest to osoba, która przez swoje działania "wywala korki", czyli powoduje, że bezpiecznik się przepala (tradycyjny topikowy) lub częściej że "odskakuje/wyskakuje" (bezp. półautomatyczny/automatyczny).

its the main control board, what also happens to those boards, is that relays fail, they start to stick and cause short circuits that will cause the breaker to pop.

The max amperage that uses should be lower than the breaker. Turn off the breaker and check to make sure that no other plugs / lighting is on that breaker as anything plugged into those can cause the breaker to pop.

OK, so using the AC could cause the breaker to pop? It did pop again last night but I'm not sure if it was while the AC was on or not.

I've had the breaker pop when I've had the AC on AND the hot water heater on electric at the same time. Sometimes it will happen and sometimes it won't. Sure to happen if I turn on the AC and then turn the hot water heater on for the first time. Once it gets up to temperature and starts to cycle, the breaker may or may not pop.

My breaker kept popping intermittently on the converter. It turned out that the converter was failing. After I replaced the converter I never had the breaker pop off.
