Circuit breakers can trip due to any number of problems. That can include water damage, frayed wiring, worn fittings, bad connections, faulty transformers or simply an electrical load that is more than the system can handle. If the breaker keeps tripping multiple times, it probably means that there is a problem with the wattage or load, which only gets worse as the wiring itself sustains damage.

The first step is to turn off all of the lights or appliances that the breaker controls. You may be able to isolate the precise component through trial and error, but that’s not recommended: you’ll likely only cause more damage while you check. The next step is to call in a professional electrician who can perform an insulation test or otherwise isolate the root of the problem before correcting it. This is not the sort of job that a do-it-yourself can perform. You need a trained and qualified professional to handle the issue correctly.
