Hi,
The problem is that the breaker trips and I cannot reset it, but after a few hours sometimes I can reset it but then it will trip again then when I try to reset it the breaker arc and woun't reset.
Help!!

Is it an RCD or MCB (should say on breaker)

Maybe you could explain what these are and why it matters. I am even curious myself.

What breaker are you referring to? What does it feed?

Stan, I assume by RCD he meant residual-current device, which is known here as a GFCI. MCB is miniature circuit breaker, not used in the US for residential applications.
