A tripping fuse board is a safety warning
A modern fuse board trips to protect people and property when it detects a fault. In a domestic property, the problem may be caused by an appliance, damaged socket, water ingress, a loose connection or a fault on a circuit.
Do not keep forcing the circuit back on. If the same switch trips again, keep the affected circuit off where possible and call for advice.
Need help now?
Explain which switch trips, what was being used, and whether there is heat, smell, water or visible damage.

Tripping fuse box FAQ
Should I keep resetting a fuse box that trips?
No. If a circuit keeps tripping, leave the affected circuit off where possible and call for advice. Repeated resets can make the fault worse.
Can one faulty appliance trip the whole fuse box?
Yes. A faulty appliance can trip an RCD or circuit. Unplugging appliances may help only if it is safe and there is no heat, water or damage.
