12-month warranty on all repairs is granted
Many service companies and electricians now offer installation work to place safety devices. Unfortunately, when ordering such services from unregistered companies, you cannot be completely sure of the expiry date of such devices and the maintenance. It is also quite difficult to determine the level of expertise of such performers.
Circuit Breaker – is а safety device which stops the flow of current in an electrical circuit when the fault is occurring. If you live in an old house it is more than possible that your consumer unit does not have any circuit breaker, in this case we would recommend you to have them installed for your own good. We can also fix your current circuit breaker, if it has any malfunctions.
When you have dozens of different devices and each uses a lot of amps on the same circuit it can lead to an electrical fire as the plug gets overloaded or gets too hot and melts away. As you install more plugs in your property and more devises are used, particular number of measures have to be carried out to prevent the circuit from overloading, this is why breaker circuit might come in handy.
In most cases a circuit breaker is appointed to each circuit of a building or any property, if circuits overload, the circuit breaker then will trip and cut the electricity to the single circuit only, instead of the whole building.
Circuit Breaker also protects from over current which might occur within the circuit itself and trip even because of cable within the circuit gets filthy, loose, or damaged.
Common reasons Circuit Breakers trip
Short Circuits- occur as a result of improper connection of electrical circuit because of erroneous or criminal human actions, natural factors (including weather, aged materials, corrosion) or violation of the insulation of live parts and outer mechanical damage of electrical wires, motor and apparatus windings. As a result, it causes an energy surge which flows the circuit and lead to overheating. Circuit breaker trips to cease it as electrical fire is most likely to happen. If there is the burning smell around the Circuit Breaker while it’s tripping, the short circuit is the most probable cause which is recommended to be repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
Ground Fault Surges – it is usually a result of a damaged wiring, faulty power tools, or old appliances allowing electricity to take an unplanned path to ground. These shortcuts can sometimes be taken through conductive items you have contact with—like metal appliance casings—which might lead to electrical shock. Ground faults are particularly dangerous in bathrooms, kitchens and other areas with high level of moisture.
Circuit Overload – electrical circuits were made to handle a limited quantity of electricity. When you try to draw more electricity than the circuit can handle, a circuit overload will happen. Circuit breaker trips can help in ‘breaking’ the circuit and thus the current flow. Without breakers, the overload would lead to the circuit wiring to overheat. That could either melt the wire insulation or even cause a massive fire. In a nut shell if your circuit is capable for providing 15 amps max but you are trying to plug some device which can send it to 17 or more it could burn all electrical appliances connected, cause sparks and even fire. Unless you have circuit breaker which trips and does not let this happen.
