Causes and solutions for circuit breaker tripping

The reasons for air switch tripping include short circuit, overload, air switch aging, under-voltage or over-voltage, weather changes, etc. The corresponding solutions are as follows:

1. Short circuit

The tripping of the air switch may be caused by a short circuit in the circuit controlled by the air switch, which is detected by the air switch, causing the short circuit protection function of the air switch to be triggered. If the air switch trip is caused by a short circuit, the button of the air switch generally cannot be closed. At this time, the short-circuited line needs to be detected and the line needs to be replaced with a new one.

2. Overload

The tripping of the air switch may be due to the current overload phenomenon in the circuit controlled by the air switch, and the current has exceeded the maximum endurance range of the air switch. This is caused by the overload protection function of the air switch being triggered. To solve the tripping problem, you should clearly calculate the electricity consumption at home, and then choose and use appropriate air switches and wires according to the electricity consumption at home, or try to reduce the number of electrical appliances that are turned on when using electricity.

3. Aging of the air switch

The tripping of the air switch may be due to the fact that the air switch has been used for a long time, and its internal original parts and structures have been damaged and changed, resulting in the sensitivity of the air switch. dropped, causing the circuit breaker to trip. If the air switch trips because the air switch has been used for a long time and causes aging and tripping, the air switch should be replaced with a new one.

4. Undervoltage or overvoltage

The tripping of the air switch may also be caused by the control of the air switch. This is due to undervoltage or overvoltage in the circuit. If there is undervoltage or overvoltage in the circuit, you need to use a multimeter to test the voltage in the distribution box, and then ask a specialized electrician to come to your home for inspection and repair.

5. Weather changes

Air switch tripping is also related to weather changes. For example, in heavy rain and lightning weather, sometimes when lightning and thunder occur, if the home is using high power When using electrical appliances, it is easy for the air switch to trip. When thunderstorms come, it is a good habit to try not to use high-power electrical appliances, such as turning off computers, TVs, air conditioners, etc., to avoid injury.
