Hi, I have an issue with multiple breakers in my home tripping. I have Eaton dual function breakers that are blinking 4 times when I flip them back on after they trip. Before they trip either my compressor in my freezer will kick on, or if I run the microwave. Lights will flicker as well. Two power strips I had plugged in burnt out during one of the times it tripped. Sometimes when breakers trip the lights will get very dim in my entire house. That happened when my power strips burnt out. I have no idea what is going on. I have an electrician friend who said to post on here to see if anyone has any idea what is going on. His hunch is that there are neutrals crossed somewhere.

You need to have an electrician and/or the power company come over soon, as in tomorrow. It sounds like an open neutral at the service. To say anymore would lead into a DIY discussion and would be against the rules for this forum.
With that said,
I must close this thread in accordance with forum rules https://forums.mikeholt.com/threads/please-read-before-you-post-rules-regulations.2561089/. If you are not an electrician, we are not permitted to assist you in performing your own electrical installation or maintenance work.
If installing stuff is not your occupation, then we can’t help you install stuff. You would have had to agree with that rule during the process of registering on the forum.
The reason is that the forum’s owner does not want a person to get an answer to the question they asked, but not get answers to the dozens of other questions they should have asked and were unaware they needed to ask. Mike doesn’t want anyone to get injured by any incidents related to electrical installations. But he also doesn’t want to be sued by the injured party’s relatives on the basis of him not telling you enough to keep you safe.
