If a circuitbreaker trips, you have either a short circuit or an overloaded circuit. To find the cause, disconnect all lamps and appliances and switch off all lights (or remove the light bulbs) on the affected circuit and then re-energize that circuit. If a circuit breaker trips with all the appliances disconnected, you have a short circuit and the house wiring itself must be repaired or replaced. If the circuit is good, reconnect each lamp and appliances, one at a time. Extreme caution is required. Examine each lamp carefully and never plug in frayed or bare cords or damaged plugs.
The circuit breaker should trip when you plug in the faulty lamp or appliance. Check for a broken light socket or other problems and have repairs made before using the lamp or appliance again.
Overloaded Circuits
If one particular circuit is repeatedly interrupted, ther may be too many appliances or lamps on that circuit. Itmay be necessary to add an additional circuit for appliances with heavier current drain.
