Circuit Breaker Keeps Tripping
Designed to interrupt the flow of electricity when your electrical service is overloaded or when a short circuit or ground fault occurs, circuit breakers are a critical element to protect wiring from overheating and prevent fire hazards. Circuit breakers trip for a number of reasons.
Trying to diagnose an electrical issue such as a frequently tripped circuit breaker can be dangerous; risks include electrocution and fire.
Causes of Tripped Circuit Breakers
- Overloaded Circuit: The most common reason for a circuit breaker to trip. This occurs when there are too many devices (television, microwave, hair dryer, portable heater/fan, etc.) pulling electrical current from the same breaker. You can reduce the likelihood of tripping a circuit breaker by reducing the number of devices connected to the same breaker.
- Short Circuit: You plug in or power on an electronic device and the circuit breaker trips right away. A licensed electrician can determine if the short circuit is in the electrical circuit or the electronic device.
- Ground Fault: The most serious cause of circuit breaker tripping. In a multi-
branch circuit, determining the cause is not easy. When an electrical circuit has an open neutral, the (120V/240V) line voltage may access the operating voltage which may cause and electrical fire.
If you reset a tripped circuit breaker and it keeps tripping, the problem is most likely with the electrical load for that particular circuit. The circuit breaker is part of a circuit and is designed to handle a certain number of amps. If the electrical current demanded by the devices powered by that circuit exceeds the number of amps for that circuit, the circuit breaker will overload and trip off in order to protect the electrical system.
Don’t try to replace or fix a faulty circuit breaker yourself! It could be very dangerous. Contact a licensed electrician immediately.
