What Is a Circuit Breaker & What Does It Do?

A circuit breaker is an incredibly important safety device that is central to your electrical system. Circuit breakers (essentially resettable fuses) are designed to safely limit the amount of power moving through your home’s circuits to prevent overloads that could result in damaged or destroyed electrical appliances, overheated or melted wires, or even an electrical fire.

Circuit breaker boxes contain various switches (these are the circuit breakers) that trip when too much power travels through a circuit. This cuts power off from that circuit to prevent overloading and keep your home safe. To reset a circuit breaker, you can manually flip the switch back to allow power to begin flowing through that circuit once again.

When to Schedule Circuit Breaker Repairs or Replacements

Because your circuit breakers are critical safety components of your electrical system, it is incredibly important to be able to recognize the signs that they aren’t functioning properly. The moment you detect that something is amiss with your electrical system, bring in a qualified electrician to ensure your home is protected.

Signs You Need Circuit Breaker Repair or Replacement:

  • The circuit breakers trip frequently
  • The circuit breakers aren’t resetting properly
  • Lights dim or flicker when certain electrical appliances are in use
  • The electrical panel smells like it is burning
  • You experience electrical shock when you plug or unplug certain appliances
  • The electrical panel is warm to the touch
  • The electrical panel is making strange sounds

Before you attempt to troubleshoot a circuit breaker, read our blog to find out how to check circuit breakers safely. No matter what problem you think you have identified, do not attempt to handle electrical repairs on your own.

Electrical work is serious business and can easily result in injuries or death when not performed correctly, so always reach out to A-TEMP Heating, Cooling & Electrical for your repairs or replacements. Our team is fully trained in safety procedures and knows how to effectively repair or replace circuit breakers without putting your health or home at risk.

 What Causes a Circuit Breaker to Trip?

A circuit breaker trips when it detects an issue in the electrical circuit, acting as a safety mechanism to prevent damage and hazards. There are several common causes for a circuit breaker to trip, each indicating different potential problems within the electrical system. 

Understanding these causes can help in troubleshooting and resolving electrical issues effectively:

  • Overloaded Circuit: One of the most frequent reasons for a breaker to trip is an overloaded circuit, which occurs when too many devices are drawing power simultaneously, exceeding the circuit's capacity.
  • Short Circuit: A short circuit happens when a hot wire comes into direct contact with a neutral wire, causing a large current flow and tripping the breaker to prevent overheating and potential fire.
  • Ground Fault: Similar to a short circuit, a ground fault occurs when a hot wire touches the ground wire or the side of a metal outlet box, creating a surge of electricity.
  • Faulty Appliances: Sometimes, a malfunctioning appliance with internal electrical issues can cause the circuit to trip.
  • Wiring Issues: Loose, damaged, or deteriorating wiring can lead to intermittent tripping as it causes irregular current flow.
  • Arc Fault: An arc fault is caused by arcing or sparking, which can occur due to damaged or loose wiring connections, leading to the breaker tripping to prevent electrical fires.
