Why does my heater keep tripping?
A strained blower is the main trigger for a tripped circuit breaker. The extra workload is often enough to cause a tripped breaker. Ventilation leaks will lead to many other problems as well. Trouble with the electrical panel: It’s possible that the problem isn’t in the furnace or elsewhere in the HVAC system.
What is a ground heater and what does it do?
What Is a Ground Heater? Simply put, a ground heater is a tool that thaws out frozen ground, leaving it softer and much easier to work with for construction crews (or anyone else who may have a cold-weather digging project.) There are various types of ground heaters.
How does a ground source heat pump work?
Ground source heat pumps (GSHPs) use pipes that are buried in the garden to extract heat from the ground. This heat can then be used to heat radiators, underfloor or warm air heating systems and hot water in your home.
How does a blower fan in a ground heater work?
A blower fan is used to blow the heated air across the ground to be heated. In order to keep moisture from escaping, a vapor barrier is used to cover the hose. Insulated blankets are often put over the barrier in order to ensure that no heat escapes so the ground will heat properly.
Where does the heat from the ground go?
Heat from the ground is absorbed at low temperatures into a fluid inside a loop of pipe (a ground loop) buried underground. The fluid then passes through a compressor that raises it to a higher temperature, which can then heat water for the heating and hot water circuits of the house.

Where are the ground connections on a blower motor?
The fan resistor and speed switching is done on the negative side of the motor and is most likely where your problem is. The two major failure points on the negative side are the resistor connections and the ground connections at the fender.

How is the O2 sensor heater circuit controlled?
The O 2 sensor’s heater circuit is controlled in one of two ways. First is the positively controlled type of circuit. If the O 2 sensor heater circuit’s negative wire goes directly to ground, look for a short-to-power problem. Usually the heater circuit in this case is controlled by a relay. Remove the relay and retest the circuit.
