Several reasons for circuit breaker tripping inside the lighting electrical ready board

The main reasons for circuit breaker tripping inside the lighting electrical ready board are as follows:

Firstly, overload is one of the common causes of circuit breaker tripping. When the current in the circuit exceeds the rated value of the circuit breaker, the circuit breaker will automatically trip to prevent damage to wires and electrical equipment due to excessive current. This usually occurs when too many electrical devices are connected or when high-power appliances are used. To avoid this situation, the number of electrical devices connected to the same circuit should be checked and reduced, or high-power appliances should be used in stages.

Secondly, short circuit is also an important cause of circuit breaker tripping. Short circuit refers to the situation where the neutral and live wires come into direct contact without passing through the electrical appliance. In this case, a huge current can be generated, which can not only instantly burn out the electrical appliance, but also cause serious safety accidents. Therefore, once it is found that the electrical plug or socket is burnt black, sparks are emitted, or the circuit breaker still trips after unplugging all plugs, it can be concluded that there is a short circuit fault in the circuit.

In addition, leakage is also a common cause of circuit breaker tripping. When there is a leakage phenomenon in the circuit, that is, when the current flows abnormally to the ground, the leakage protector will quickly trip to avoid electric shock to the human body. This may be caused by damage, aging, or moisture to electrical equipment or wires. In order to prevent leakage tripping, the insulation of electrical equipment should be regularly checked, sockets and plugs with leakage protection function should be used, and damaged electrical circuits should be replaced in a timely manner.

Finally, undervoltage and overvoltage may also cause circuit breakers to trip. In the case of unstable voltage, the undervoltage release or overvoltage release will automatically trip to protect the safe operation of electrical equipment. In this case, wait for the voltage to stabilize before closing the circuit.

In summary, there are various reasons for the tripping of circuit breakers inside the lighting electrical ready board, which require careful analysis and gradual investigation to determine the specific cause.
