A repeatedly tripping breaker signals one of these issues:
1. Circuit overload (most common)
Too many devices on one circuit
Major appliance exceeds circuit capacity
Solution: Redistribute devices or add dedicated circuit
2. Short circuit
Damaged wire touching another wire or metal
Faulty appliance creating connection
Solution: Professional diagnosis and repair required
3. Ground fault
Damaged wire contacting ground
Water intrusion in electrical system
Solution: Immediate professional service needed
4. Failing breaker
Breaker worn out (common in older panels)
Solution: Breaker replacement
Don't ignore repeated tripping—it's a fire safety issue. Schedule service after the second trip on the same breaker.
