Common Reasons for a Power Trip in a Home

A power trip can involve appliances, moisture, overloaded circuits or electrical faults. Treat repeated trips carefully and avoid unsafe troubleshooting.

Do not keep forcing the breaker

If power trips repeatedly, forcing it back on without understanding the cause can be unsafe. Note what was switched on, which area was affected and whether there was a burning smell, water or damaged equipment.

Appliances can trigger trips

Water heaters, washing machines, ovens, kettles and other appliances can trip power if there is a fault or moisture issue. Do not use an appliance that appears unsafe.

Some work may require an LEW

Certain electrical work in Singapore may require a Licensed Electrical Worker. A repair enquiry should confirm the scope before any work is arranged.
