Why triggered the circuit breaker and that it should be done
Actually options why the circuit breaker is turned off quite a lot, but independently determine and identify the cause of the specific approach is simple enough. In this article I will discuss the main causes and how to identify and eliminate. Let's get started.
reloading network
One of the main reasons for the circuit breaker is its correct operation. That is, it (the machine) honestly fulfilled its protective function and switched off the protected line to prevent its further destruction.
And it happens often due to the fact that we are overloading the line, namely the outlet, which is designed for a load of 16 amps, insert extension (line filter) and connect therethrough the washing machine, iron, microwave and other high power appliances.
And if you include multiple such devices, then the line current will flow, for example, 27 amperes. This means that the built-in automatic thermal release will disable such a line after a certain time.
Way out of this situation, only one - not to overload the line.
Attention. Some "experts" recommend to replace the machine at a higher face value, for example 25 A, while keeping the old cable. So do it categorically impossible.
If you need to connect a heavy load, then make a complete renovation of your wiring.
Faulty household appliances
Another very common reason for tripping the circuit breaker in a malfunction of any appliance. And a clear sign of such a frequency tripping. For example, the machine is switched off when you use a vacuum cleaner.
If you always on the set of appliances, then find faults will be found as follows:
Unplug everything and consumers connect and operate the devices one by one. As soon as you connect and turn on another device automatic knocked, then blame the last device.
But if you disable all the users machine still knocks, then perhaps the reason lies in the very wiring.
faulty wiring
All units are turned off, but the machine still beats, so in this case it is necessary to check all the sockets, switches and junction boxes. There should be no exposed wires or loose connections. All the check is drawn and if necessary modify or isolate.
It is likely that you can find here the following picture:
This is what will cause tripping of the circuit breaker.
Attention. All work on the wiring carried out only when de-energized.
If a full audit has given nothing, in this case there is two options:
1. Malfunction of the machine.
2. Damaged wires themselves inside the walls (if performed concealed wiring).
In the first case, we replace the machine at the same and check whether the problem persists. If not, what is the most unpleasant option.
To find a fault in the wiring hidden, you will need a special device.
Of course, the majority of inhabitants do not, and to buy the product (rather expensive) for the sake of finding a single fault is not entirely reasonable. In this case the only solution is to call the expert.
conclusion
That's all I wanted to tell you about the main causes and remedies, tripping the circuit breaker in your distribution panel. If the article was useful to you, you will appreciate her huskies and thank you for your attention!
