Circuit breaker tripping off
A circuit breaker is designed to trip off when it detects too much power running through the wire it’s protecting. There are three main reasons circuit breakers trip off:
The circuit breaker is broken.
There is a short circuit.
There is an overloaded circuit.
Short Circuits
Short circuits occur when two electrical wires accidentally touch each other. A short circuit will immediately cause one of your circuit breakers to trip off or one of your fuses to blow.
If you can’t find anything plugged in which is causing the problem, then it’s time to call a good electrician to locate and repair your short circuit.
Overloaded Circuit
Overloaded circuits occur when too much power is running through an electrical wire.
You may wish to add a new set of wires so that you can supply power to all your appliances. For this, you’ll need a good electrician.
