It may be old and need to be replaces, that breaker that is. Or Something that is plugged in may be shorted or broke in some way. That happened to me when the landlord replaced our air conditioner. He Bought a used one, and it would run for a few minutes, then trip the breaker, so we had to wait AGAIN for him to get another one.

It may be a fault with your circuit wiring, the breaker itself or a fault with an appliance . If the circuit that trips is mains (where you have sockets to plug stuff into; TV/ kettle etc,) then unplug everything, turn the breaker on and plug your appliances back in one by one. If the circuit trips straight after you plug something in, then you know that its (most likely) that appliance that’s faulty. If its any other circuit (water heater, lights or whatever), or if the mains trips with nothing plugged in; call an electrician. Email me sparkelf@yahoo.co.uk if you have any queries with this.

Either the circuit has a short in it or the breaker is weak. Try changing it with another breaker of the same amperage that you know is good...if that one trips there is a short somewhere. If the replacement breaker doesn't trip then the breaker is bad. Breakers are only good for a couple of shorts and then they are dead.

There is a short somewhere. If you turn it on, you risk starting a fire, so keep it off until you figure out what the problem is.
Unplug all your appliances that are affected by the breaker, and try turning it on again. If that works, there were just too many things plugged in. If that doesn't work, call an electrician, because there may be a short in your wiring.
