Square D Co. HOM120GFI Circuit Breaker Questions & Answers
Please tell me where I need to connect the white
The white wire goes to the neutral side of the box, you have the ground or bare wires on one side, white or neutral on the other, and all the colored wire go to the breakers themselves. GFI's are very sensitive, if there is anything wrong with the circuit it will snap off, I don't like the breakers, I like the individual receptacles, they will run 6 outlets with one gfi recept and you can find a bad spot a lot easier. They are not for lights, and they won't work with a florescent fixture. Just keep that in mind.
Square D circuit breaker in a home fuse panel and I have already replaced the breaker with a new one.
i strongly recommend that you get in an electrician to investigate the problem
from your description of the amount of power required from your circuit breaker I would consider that there are to power wires from the back of that unit
one circuit to run half the points and another wire to run the rest
If only 1/2 are working, I am thinking that one of the wires at the back of the breakers is loose or come undone/broken and that will require the services of an electrician
To further explain this line of thought, each circuit in a house is designed to carry a maxim of 10 amp total (wire current capacity) so that with all outlets in operation the maximum current is 10 amps
if the required current allowed exceeds that the electricians break the numbers up so that a second circuit is employed again up to 10 amps max
if again there was a requirement that exceeded the 20 amps ( circuit breaker amp) a second circuit breaker would be installed and a 3rd circuit and so on

On a 60 FT. run using 12/2/G wire can I use a 25amp. breaker safely?
The size of the breaker that you are going to use on a circuit is predicated on the current draw of the appliance(s) you have on the circuit. Assume you have them all turned on, add up their respective amperages and , voila, you have a close approximation of the size of the breaker. If you do not know the amperage look for watts info. Divide the latter by voltage of 115 and you will arrive at the amps used.

Electrical panel dead, main and all breakers
Then, call PG&E...or your local utility company to come out and check your meter. PG&E, or your local utility company are responsible for the power up to the meter at your electrical service panel. After that, it's the electrician's responsibility...
