Does this still send a signal to the panel if the breaker is already tripped?

No. It is powered by the circuit voltage. It will tell if the Hot and Neutral are on the correct terminals.

absolutely. The breakers prevent from overloading the circuit ONLY. This device protects against surges, high voltage, low voltage, open neutrals or grounds, etc. Small price to pay to save several thousands worth of electrical devices

Hello J. Kiser - Yes, if you wire this unit into a breaker box that has a bonded neutral it will trip the GFCI on the inverter because it also has a bonded neutral.The inverter cannot be connected or tied into another unit that has a bonded neutral.Please go to our website - http://gpelectric.com/contact-us - and call or email us for more information.Go Power!

it is not a ground fault device. So basically the answer is no.It doesn't protect any better than a normal outlet with the same value circuit breaker would.If the circuit breaker on the circuit it is plugged into is a higher value it can provide some additional protection.It is also internally connected to the ground it is plugged into.If it is plugged into a poor ground then this can contribute to both shock problems as well as interference/noise problems.

It has a digital impulse signal back to the receiver/indicator via the distribution panel circuit breaker. Long distances cause a voltage drop, but the impulse signal should not be affected at the same rate. As long as the circuit you are trying to identify is wired to the distribution panel, where you are trying to identify the circuit breaker, you should be able to receive a signal within a 1000 linear feet if not more.I hope this helps.

No.......I used my old ones. Check wires where they go into the breakers. Its easy to put them behind the insert and you'll get a bad connection. This was part of my problem. GL

Yes, you just plug the device into an outlet and then take the other part to the breaker panel. Pass the device over or touch each breaker and an audible alarm will sound when you are over the correct breaker.

Yes the panel makes beeping when there is an intrusion either from door/window contac t or from sensor.

I put it on my main panel. I have a manual transfer switch and a whole house breaker in "front" of my main panel, and I connected this to two adjacent 20-amp breakers, so it is working on both phases (every other breaker in my GE panel box is on alternating phases). It has been working beautifully for over a year now.

NO.When the pickup clamps are placed right after the meter any panel down stream will be recorded.I have the same setup as you .The owl works great.

No. However, if any circuit has multiple devices which collectively cause it to pull more amps than it is rated for, it could trip the breaker (or blow the fuse).

No, not on the same physical breaker, but definitely on circuits within the same physical circuit breaker panel. If you have multiple circuit breaker panels, then you will have to find circuits that are within one panel or the other. Hope this helps.

Not sure - the way the product works is that you plug one of the devices into the outlet in question (or use a socket device in a light socket or an alligator clip when needed) and then move a sensor along the circuit breakers in the panel box one by one until an audible signal is emitted when the sensor locates the correct circuit breaker. So it is all based on having a continuous circuit going back to the panel box. If the circuit is broken, it likely will not work. Have you considered to contact the manufacturer to get their advice?

I'm not sure. I suspect the answer is no, but check your panel to determine what breakers are compatible.

This device is to tell you which breaker is on. Then you cut it off to work on the circuit. It will not work without power.

I really don't think so. I'm not sure that the sensor can read the signal through a wall along the path of the wire as it does at the breaker. Admittedly I've never tried to.

This should not happen and has not occurred with my heater at all. In addition, my daughter has the same exact unit at her home and this has never occurred with hers either. Something must be wrong with the cord itself on your unit. Either that or something is wrong with the circuit you have it plugged into. I am not, however, an electrician. All I do know is that your circuit breaker should not be tripping.
