If your fuse board is repeatedly tripping, it means that there is an issue with your electrical system that is causing the circuit breaker to trip, cutting off the power. This can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
Overloading: If you have too many electrical devices or appliances running at the same time, it can cause the circuit breaker to trip.
Short circuit: A short circuit occurs when there is a direct connection between two wires, causing a sudden increase in electrical current. This can cause the circuit breaker to trip.
Faulty appliance: If a particular appliance is faulty, it can cause the circuit breaker to trip.
Wiring issue: If there is a problem with the wiring in your electrical system, such as a frayed wire, it can cause the circuit breaker to trip.
If your fuse board is repeatedly tripping, it is important to address the issue as soon as possible to prevent further damage to your electrical system and to avoid the risk of fire. Get in touch with our team to diagnose and repair the problem.
