    "Bad Ground"
    I blew a 15 amp circuit. When I reset the circuit breaker I got power but now my circuit analyzer says I have a "bad ground"

    Can a "bad" circuit breaker cause this?

    Thanks

    No a defective breaker will not cause a bad ground, however the short that tripped the breaker may have burned out a ground wire or connection, and now the outlet or circuit is no longer grounded.
