Electrical Repairs & Appliance Wiring FAQs
Why does my earth leakage keep tripping?
Usually one appliance or circuit is leaking current to earth, often because of moisture, a damaged cable or a faulty element in a kettle, geyser, stove or washing machine. Unplug appliances one at a time to narrow it down. If it keeps tripping, the circuit needs to be tested.
Does an aircon need its own circuit?
Larger units generally should have a dedicated circuit and isolator so they don't overload shared circuits. We check your supply as part of an aircon installation.
Is an appliance that trips the power safe to use?
No. Stop using it and unplug it until it's been checked. Repeated tripping is the protection system warning you about a fault.
