Hi all: The circuit breaker on the line that supplies to my convection microwave trips intermittently. The problem is very sporadic and an annoyance. Yes, there are lights on the same circuit but it is not as if the problem goes away if I switch off all the lights when using the microwave. Someone suggested that I use a time delay circuit breaker of same capacity as existing one. What such a breaker apparently does is that it allows occasional spikes to cope with high starting currents. Home Depot does not carry such breakers and when I asked for it, their assistant in the electical aisle recommended that I run a separate circuit for microwave. What are the possibilities? 1. Run another circuit?
2. Look for a time delay breaker?
3. Faulty microwave?
4. Lose wiring? Regards,
