@@Beall_ It’s not uncommon for the lights to be on one circuit and the receptacles be on another circuit. Try turning the circuit breaker off one at a time to see if any other lights or receptacles stop working. If they stop working, then you know that power is getting at least that far and then you could check those lights/receptacles (being sure breaker is off) to see if loose wires are the problem and everything downstream is not getting power.

I know electrical wiring (did a whole house rewiring at age 14 and didn’t get a single flaw; also ran telephone and thermostats). But, I went to college for computer sciences, tech major. Some of the most hilarious calls are for simple crap like turning off power strips, power strips unplugged, tripped or plugged into themselves! Also, they’d hook up everything; monitor, keyboard, mouse, network and so on, but no power cords for monitor or computer AND they had no idea where they were.

Electrician here. These are actually called Ground Fault Circuit Interruptor. The work by monitoring the output voltage of the outlet and compare it with the return voltage. If the return voltage is lower than the output voltage (Mostly because of a shorted circuit) they cut of the power before the board can fry.

Yes, and the unfortunate part of this story is, if it is something as simple as a tripped breaker or GFI, the Electrician should adjust his service call price to reflect what he found, but no, they charge the full price. I was an electrician for a while in my working career, and that was one of the things that helped me change my career. I became an Electrical Engineer. I knew I would never make a good living as an Electrician because of having to rip people off.

The first problem is its a square D residential panel. Joking. But he's not wrong. There's nothing more frustrating for an electrician then to leave a job their are busy. Drive 10-50 minutes to your home. Walk in reset the breaker. Tell you not to run the space heater and vacuum on the same circuit or reset your gfci and then argue with you for the two hour shop minimum change at 150hr. Yes it took only 5 working minutes but regardless that electrician lost at least two hour on the jobsite they were assigned to.

Was saving people money if they don’t know they need to pay somebody to do it for them and doing a just a breaker. Flip is not doing justice for them. You should amp out the circuit, check the connections, possibly replace the breaker if it happened before in the past check out the device that was plugged into it, if nothing is on that circuit you need to investigate there might be a faulty wire loose connection in one of the boxes it is supplied with worst thing is to leave a house or business after resetting a breaker just to get called back because it did it again

You should not have referred to reseting by flipping left then right. That is opposite how they work on the right side breakers. You cannot even state away from the middle then back. I have seen both directions of beakers in different brands panels Where is the rest of that panel cover. It is dangerous to flip the breakers without it. I personally know of a panel at a hotel that blew up because a snapin breaker came out while being turned on. The person snapped it back in live and breaker on. It shorted out in the back panel and took out most of the hotels power for days and almost killed him.

That looks like a Square D style breaker, they have that center toggle trip position, also can have a red/orange flag in a window to indicate a short or overload.
