Why your fuse board keeps tripping.
Your fuse board might be tripping frequently if too many electrical appliances are on the same circuit. If the amount of current designed for a particular circuit is too high, the fuse could trip.
In rooms like the bathroom, moisture entering a circuit or making contact with earthing elements, could trigger a fuse to trip. This is a very dangerous scenario with an increased risk of electric shocks so it’s vital to call in a professional.
If we can rule out short circuits and overloaded circuits, the issue could be with the fuse board itself. Particular if the unit is outdated and shows signs of deterioration.
Who to call if your fuse board keeps tripping?
