Consumer unit keeps tripping: what should you do?
Protective devices trip for a reason. A faulty appliance, damaged circuit or other electrical issue may be involved. Repeated unexplained tripping should be investigated rather than endlessly reset.
What to do next
A sensible first check
✓ Note exactly which device trips
✓ Think about what appliance or event preceded the trip
✓ Unplug obvious portable appliances only if safe to do so
✓ Do not remove covers or work on live electrical equipment
When should you act?
Burning smells, heat damage, visible arcing, shocks or an inability to restore power safely require prompt professional help.
This page is general guidance, not a diagnosis. If the issue involves immediate danger, active water near electrics, fire, gas, structural instability, unsafe working at height or another urgent safety risk, use an appropriately qualified professional or emergency service rather than relying on online advice.
