Introduction
If your power keeps tripping, your electrical system is trying to protect you. It’s usually caused by a fault, overload, or faulty appliance.
Common Causes
- Too many appliances running at once (overload)
- Faulty appliances (kettle, heater, etc.)
- Short circuits
- Earth leakage issues
How to Identify the Problem
- Turn off all appliances
- Reset the breaker
- Turn appliances back on one by one
- If it trips again → the last appliance is likely the issue
When to Call an Electrician
- If it trips immediately after resetting
- If you smell burning
- If the same circuit keeps failing
Pro Tip
Never bypass a tripping breaker — it’s there to prevent fire or electrocution.
