By Sagar Tech Solutions | Electrical Services | Call: +91 72191 75734

Is your power supply constantly being interrupted by a tripping MCB? This is a common electrical issue that indicates a safety concern in your electrical system. At Sagar Tech Solutions, we help you understand the cause and offer safe, reliable solutions.


What is an MCB?

An MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker) is a safety device that automatically switches off the power when it detects abnormal electrical activity like overloads, short circuits, or ground faults. It prevents damage to appliances and wiring and reduces the risk of fire or electric shock.


Why Does an MCB Trip?

There are several reasons your MCB may trip:

  • Overload – Too many devices running on a single circuit.
  • Short Circuit – When live and neutral wires touch.
  • Earth Leakage – Current leaks to the ground through a faulty wire or appliance.
  • Faulty Appliance – A damaged or malfunctioning device drawing irregular current.

How to Fix a Tripping MCB

Follow these basic steps to identify and fix the issue:

1. Switch Off All Devices

Turn off or unplug all electrical appliances connected to the affected circuit.

2. Reset the MCB

Move the MCB to the OFF position, then back to ON. If it stays on, proceed to test the devices.

3. Reconnect Devices One by One

Plug in each device individually. If the MCB trips after plugging in a specific appliance, that appliance is likely faulty or drawing excess power.

4. Look for Wiring Damage

Check for signs like burning smells, sparks, or blackened sockets. Do not attempt to open or repair wiring yourself.

5. Call a Certified Electrician

If the problem persists or the MCB trips immediately after resetting, the issue could be inside the wiring. It’s best to get professional help.
