Circuit breakers are the devices that are used in electrical systems as a main component to prevent and protect the entire electrical system. And tripping is a condition where flows of electricity are interpret. So circuit breaker tripping occurs when there is cut-off in the flow or supply of electrical current to prevent the system from overheating, damage, and short-circuit. Besides they can detect the abnormal conditions in the electrical system.
Circuit breakers tripping can cause due to various reasons which are presented as follows:
Circuit breakers trip when there is overload:
It is one of the most common cause of tripping. Overload occurs when too many electrical devices, appliances, or other system is drawing the current in high amount exceeding the system capacity.
And result in potential fire. And for the protection breaker trip.
Short circuit causes tripping of circuit breakers:
Short circuit occurs when two different nodes of electrical current with difference in voltage connect abnormally. Also when there is low resistance path of electricity which creates when hot wires come in contact with ground or neutral wire then also the condition can occur.
Short circuits can cause damage with other several disadvantages. So it results in triggering the circuit to trip.
Circuit breakers aging:
With the time and, durability the breakers can come up to it’s expiration date and can wear out. Further aging circuits can’t properly detect the problems. With aging it’s normal to trip frequently indicating that it needs to replace with new one.
Ground faults results in circuit breaker tripping:
Ground faults are result of improper installation or breakdown of insulation. And also can happen when electrical circuits flow in an unintended path. And ground faults can cause electrocutions and other hazards.
Moreover, circuit breaker happens for the preventions of system from any kinds of accident. Call dharabijuli service pvt.ltd if you face any kinds of problem related to electrical and plumbing system. We provides quality services.
