Circuit Breaker Keeps Tripping - 3 Common Reasons

Here are 3 common reasons the breaker in your electrical panel will trip.  This is basic information to give you and idea of what could be wrong and how to troubleshoot the loss of power in an outlet or circuit.

To reset a tripped breaker, you simply need to turn it off then back on.  If the breaker immediately trips when you reset it, you have a short somewhere.  Start by unplugging anything in that circuit and see if the breaker holds.  If not, you have a problem in the wiring or inside a receptacle box somewhere.

Remember to disconnect the power before working with any electrical circuits.  It is dangerous.
