What to Do if Your Breaker Keeps Tripping?
Circuit breakers can be tripped off and still appear as if they are on. At the first sign of loss of power, you should:
- Always check your circuit panel. Go to the circuit breaker panel and flip the breakers to the off position.
- Leave them off for about 20 seconds before flipping them back to the on position.
- Check to see if this process has restored your power.
- If power has not been restored, contact a professional electrician. There may be a loose circuit, requiring some tightening of electrical connections in your breaker panel.
For any kind of electrical panel work, always schedule service with a professional electrician. Never try to repair, replace, or remove a breaker on your own. Breakers are safety devices that are essential for protecting your home against circuit overloads, short circuits, ground faults, and other fault conditions.
Why Does My Circuit Breaker Keep Tripping?
A circuit breaker is your home’s safety device. It trips to protect your electrical system from overload, short circuits, or ground faults. If it’s tripping frequently, it’s signaling a problem.
- Overloaded Circuit: This is the most common culprit. Plugging too many high-wattage appliances into one circuit can cause it to overload.
- Short Circuit: This occurs when live wires touch, causing a surge of electricity. It can be caused by damaged wiring, faulty appliances, or worn-out outlets.
- Ground Fault: This happens when electricity flows through an unintended path, such as to ground. It’s often caused by water damage or faulty appliances.
