What should I do if a circuit breaker trips?

First, identify the cause of the trip (e.g., overloaded circuit, faulty appliance). Then, switch the breaker back on. If it trips again, contact a qualified electrician to investigate the issue.

How often should the consumer unit be inspected?

Troubleshooting

Circuit Breakers Tripping Frequently

Check for overloaded circuits or faulty appliances. Reduce the load on the circuit or have the appliance inspected by a professional.

No Power to Certain Circuits

Check the corresponding circuit breakers. If tripped, reset them. If they trip again, there may be a fault in the wiring or connected appliance; contact a qualified electrician.

RCDs Tripping Unexpectedly

This indicates a ground fault. Identify the circuit causing the issue by isolating circuits one by one. Contact a qualified electrician to inspect the wiring and connected devices.

Difficulties with Cable Entry

Ensure the knockouts are properly removed and that cables are correctly routed and secured using appropriate cable glands or connectors.
