Loose Bus Connections Cause Overloads
If the circuit breakers on youre A/C unit trips frequently, it may be a poor connection to the breaker box bus bar. This is very common, and can cause a burn out at the bus bar and the circuit breaker. If this does occur, replace the breaker box. Reason: the bus bars are damaged by arcing and annealing (softening of the metal) and will not allow for tight electrical connections with the a/c or other breakers, eventually leading to a fire.
