If your safety switch keeps tripping, it’s doing its job—protecting you from electrical hazards. Here at Record Electrical in Canberra, we come across common reasons that might be behind this nuisance quite often:

Overloaded circuits: Too many appliances used simultaneously may overload a circuit and cause the switch to trip.

Defective appliances: Defective or faulty apparatus can generate current leakage, prompting the safety switch to disconnect electricity.

Faulty wiring: Faulty or worn-out wiring, which is typical of older homes, may lead to hazardous faults picked up by the switch.

Rain or moisture damage: Water entry will cause short circuits, which will trigger trips for your protection.

Nuisance tripping: Sometimes, there are several small current leaks or electrical storms that result in unwanted trips.

If your safety switch continues to trip, don’t just ignore it. Our professional electricians at Record Electrical will quickly identify and repair the source, keeping your home safe and energy efficient. Book a professional electrical check today and have peace of mind.
