Introduction
A tripping breaker or RCD is frustrating — but it’s a safety device doing its job. Here are the usual culprits behind circuits that keep cutting out.
Overloaded Circuits
Too many high-demand appliances on one circuit will trip the breaker. Kitchens and utility rooms are common offenders.
- Safer wiring and full peace of mind
- Lower risk of faults and fire
- Compliance with current regulations
- Better reliability for years to come
Faulty Appliances
A failing kettle, washing machine or charger can leak current and trip the RCD. Unplugging suspect appliances one by one often finds the cause.
Water & Damaged Cables
Moisture in outdoor sockets or damaged cabling (often from DIY or rodents) causes earth faults that trip protection devices and need professional repair.
