How to Reset A Circuit Breaker

 

Considering that the only time you may interact with your interaction is when you trip, it is easy to worry the circuit breaker. The circuit breaker is an important safety device, but if you want to keep the electrical system running, you need to know how to reset it correctly. Let's take a look at how to safely restart your circuit breaker if it trips.

 

Preparation

 

Before you even touch the circuit breaker, it’s a good idea to prep the circuit you’re about to reset. The most common cause of a circuit breaker tripping is too much of a load on the circuit, often caused by plugging in too many appliances. Unplug all appliances on the circuit that caused the breaker to trip. Once you’ve reset the circuit breaker, you can begin plugging appliances back in to see if the breaker trips again. If it does, you might want to lighten the load by moving some appliances to other circuits (or leaving them unplugged).

 

Locate the Switch

 

Open the circuit breaker and turn the switch to the "OFF" position. In some cases, the switch may be between the "on" and "off" positions. Make sure the switch is fully flipped to the "OFF" position and then flip it back to the "ON" position. This should reset the circuit. Please check to make sure the circuit is switched on again; the easiest way is to flip the nearest light switch. If all the normal response, turn off the circuit breaker, and return to anything you are doing. If you are still experiencing circuit problems, call a professional to check the system.
