Tripping Circuit Breaker Problem, what would you do in this situation #electrician

What happens here

After a thorough inspection yielding no clear answers, the electrician decides to replace the circuit breaker once more. He first removes the old 15-amp circuit breaker from the electrical panel. He then prepares the wiring if necessary, and carefully installs a new 15-amp circuit breaker, connecting the circuit wire to the breaker's terminal screw and ensuring a secure connection to the bus bar.

Goal: Install a new circuit breaker to rule out a faulty breaker as the cause of the tripping.

Tools and materials

  • Electrical Panel — The main service panel where the breaker is located
  • New Circuit Breaker — The replacement circuit breaker
  • Old Circuit Breaker — The circuit breaker being replaced
  • Screwdriver — Loosening and tightening the terminal screw on the circuit breaker
