Answer

A circuit breaker trips to protect your home's electrical system from damage. Common causes include:

  1. Overloaded Circuit: Using too many devices simultaneously can exceed the circuit's capacity, causing the breaker to trip.
  2. Short Circuit: A direct connection between the live and neutral wires results in a surge of current, leading to an immediate trip.
  3. Faulty Appliances: Defective devices can leak current, triggering the breaker.
  4. Environmental Factors: Water ingress or rodent damage to wiring can cause faults, leading to tripping. 

If your breaker continues to trip after resetting, it's essential to consult a qualified electrician to identify and resolve the underlying issue.
