I have had fuses replaced with Circuit Breakers. The circuit breakers keep tripping. Why?
Overloaded circuit - fuses blow on account of the wire inside the fuse blowing as there may be too much load for the fuse.

- DO NOT upgrade the fuse wire to a higher density wire as this will result in burnt-out cables in ceilings and walls.
- Circuit breakers trip before the cables get a chance to become overloaded
- To solve this problem, either unplug some of the appliances on the circuit that keep tripping and plug them in to a point that is not tripping or get an electrician to replace the fuses to circuit breakers (if not already done)
- If the fuses have already been replaced with circuit breakers and the breakers keep tripping; you will need to schedule an electrician to install more circuit breakers to even out the load
