What Do Tripped Circuit Breakers and Blown Fuses Indicate
Tripped circuit breakers and blown fuses are common household problems. When they occur, they indicate that a circuit has been overloaded or there is a short circuit in the wiring. The cause could be anything from a faulty appliance to a wiring fault. It’s important to identify and fix the problem before resetting the circuit. Failure to do so could result in a fire hazard.
