Why Does My Circuit Breaker Keep Tripping?

If your circuit breaker keeps shutting off, it’s a sign that something is wrong with your electrical system. The three most common reasons are:
Overloaded Circuit – Too many devices are pulling power from one circuit. Short Circuit – Faulty wiring or connections cause electricity to take a dangerous shortcut. Ground Fault – Electricity is flowing where it shouldn’t, increasing the risk of shock. A tripping breaker is a built-in safety feature to prevent overheating, fires, or electrical damage. If it happens often, it's best to have a professional inspect the issue.

What Causes an Overloaded Circuit?

An overloaded circuit happens when you plug in more appliances or devices than your wiring can handle. This forces the circuit to carry more electricity than it was designed for, triggering the breaker to shut off power. Common signs include flickering lights, warm outlets, and frequent breaker trips. Spreading out your devices or upgrading your electrical panel can help prevent overloads.

What Is a Short Circuit?

A short circuit happens when electricity strays from its intended path, creating a surge of power that can damage wiring, trip the breaker, or even start a fire. This is usually caused by exposed or damaged wires, loose connections, or faulty electrical components. If you notice burning smells, sparks, or blackened outlets, it’s crucial to get the issue fixed immediately.

What Is a Ground Fault, and Why Is It Dangerous?

A ground fault occurs when electricity escapes from a wire and flows into the ground or a nearby conductive surface. This can happen due to damaged insulation, moisture, or faulty wiring. Ground faults are especially dangerous in areas with water, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor outlets, as they increase the risk of electric shock. Installing Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) can help prevent these hazards by shutting off power the moment a fault is detected.
