What Is A Tripped Fuse?
Why does my fuse box keep tripping?
A fuse switch that keeps tripping is usually caused by a faulty electrical item or an overloaded circuit. The best way to locate the source of the problem is to eliminate it. This article will show you how to identify the reason your electric keeps tripping. Although fuse appearances may seem like tiny pieces of wire, they are crucial safety components used in all types of electrical circuits. The purpose of a fuse is to blow and break a circuit (preventing the flow of electric) if a current is too high and deemed unsafe. Fuses are used to protect electrical appliances from damage beyond repair. We told you, they’re pretty important little pieces of wire! There are many different types of fuse, and most likely you’ll use one in your home. Some fuses are located inside electrical appliances. Other fuses are located in your fusebox, in the shape of an electrical breaker (i.e. fuse switch) or RCD – a residual current device. It is an important safety switch that protects against electrocution. Electric circuits are designed to only take a certain amount. Each light you turn on and appliance you use will increase their load. If they draw too much electricity, they will fail to function properly and they will blow the fuse.Extension leads are often responsible for overloading circuits. You don’t have to use every socket at once, even though there are many. Doing so may be the reason your electric keeps tripping.

Appliances Causing Fuse Box To Trip
Once you have identified a problem with an appliance, it is important to not use it again without having it checked out. If the appliance is new and still under warranty you may be able return it to the retailer to receive a refund or replacement.
Older devices may not be covered under warranty. A qualified electrician will inspect them. They will have all the necessary skills, knowledge, and tools to diagnose the problem and make repairs.
It is best to not attempt electrical repairs yourself. Although most people have the ability to repair a blown bulb or fuse socket within a fuse box, it’s not possible to fix faulty electrical currents. This can lead to serious injury.
Modern fuse boxes have fuse electrical breakers installed in most homes. These are switches that flip down when the electrical current is needed. It’s very simple to re-set them, all you have to do to flip them back to the “on” position.
An older home may still contain a traditional fusebox with sockets. Every fuse socket contains a piece that can either snap or burn through to cause a circuit to be ripped. Replacing fuse wire is relatively straightforward.
You might have a wiring problem in the fuse box if your fuse switches keep on tripping and it keeps happening. As we mentioned, dangerous electrics can cause serious injury. Even with safety measures such as RCD switches, it is not worth risking your safety. It’s best to contact an electrician qualified to diagnose the problem and then fix it.

FAQ's
Ask Yourself...
Often, a tripping fuse switch indicates that the circuit is overloaded or that faulty electrical equipment is involved. In most cases, finding the root of the problem is an exercise in elimination that can be done by you.
The most common cause of a tripped breaker is a circuit overload.
There are usually external factors that cause circuit overloads, such as having too many appliances on the same circuit, which can be easily fixed.
Try turning off all the lights and unplugging any appliances that are plugged into outlets on that circuit before resetting the breaker. If it stays on, plug the appliances back in one by one until it trips again, and service or discard the appliance that makes it trip.
When you unplug appliances, do they seem to be overheating?
Breakers that repeatedly trip or won’t reset if no high voltage equipment is drawing electricity may be the result of a short circuit. An electric short circuit occurs when the hot wire carrying electricity comes in contact with the neutral wire, which can start a fire if not repaired
Faulty safety switches may also cause tripping. Safety switches that are broken or worn out typically stop working (which is what they are supposed to do in the first place). Replace if they are stuck or don’t trip.
Common causes when a wall socket stops working include: Failed internal socket connections, which is common in older outlets that no longer snugly hold plugs. A tripped circuit breaker that cuts power to the wall socket. Loose connections inside the circuit breaker box.
