What to Do If Your Fuseboard Keeps Tripping

If your fuseboard keeps tripping, it’s your home’s way of saying something isn’t right. While it’s doing its job by cutting off power to prevent danger, repeated trips are frustrating and can signal an underlying issue.

Common Reasons Your Fuseboard Might Trip:

• Overloaded circuits – Too many appliances running on one circuit
• Faulty appliances – Kettles, toasters or washing machines with internal faults
• Damaged wiring – Especially in older homes
• Moisture in sockets – Particularly outdoors or in bathrooms

What You Can Safely Check Yourself:

• Unplug recent appliances or anything new you’ve added
• Reset the fuseboard once and observe what triggers the trip again
• Never open the board or attempt to ‘bypass’ the trip – this is dangerous

When to Call an Electrician:

If the fuseboard keeps tripping and you can’t find the cause, it’s time to call a qualified professional. Persistent faults can indicate serious safety risks that should be inspected and tested properly.
