If the circuit breaker keeps tripping, that is an indication of some problems in the circuit that need to be solved as soon as possible. It will not only affect the normal operation of air conditioners but possibly result in the overload or safety of the circuit. The article will explain the common causes of circuit breaker tripping and provide solutions.
Circuit overload
If the air conditioner power is too large, which exceeds the rated current-carrying ability of the circuit breaker, the circuit breaker acts to trip the circuit.
Solution:
Inspect the power of the air conditioner whether it matches the current carrying ability. If too large, change a bigger one.
Link an air conditioner to choose a matching single-wire circuit.
Circuit short circuit
Poorly damaged cables or shrinkage of the wire signal can lead to a short circuit and hence trips the circuit breaker.
Solution:
Check the circuit for obvious bad specifications like butt chest, line signal collapse, and others.
If not sure, let a professional electrician check and repair it.
Circuit breaker sensitivity is too high
Some circuit breakers are extremely sensitive and trip randomly even at small flow rates.
Solution:
Replace a circuit breaker that is more suitable for power requirements and whose response interval and qualifications meet the actual needs.
Internal fault of the air conditioner
If the compressor is overheated or the charging structure fails, it will cause tripping.
Solution:
Check whether the air conditioner compressor is overheated. If so, choose to clean and maintain the air conditioner.
Check whether the air conditioner has had leakage recently.
The big demand of the air conditioner heater
Some air conditioners have a big load during startup, which makes a circuit breaker trip.
Solution:
Use an air conditioner circuit breaker with a start-up heating auxiliary function.
Poor home cable system
If the home cable cannot provide the current for an air conditioner to operate normally, it will also lead to tripping.
Solution:
Let the demand of air conditioning be taken up by the house cable; thus, cable uprating may be required.
Περίληψη
Tripping of the air conditioner circuit breaker is an important manifestation of circuit safety protection, and it cannot be ignored. Once the problem of air conditioner tripping is found, the cause check should be performed as soon as possible, and the solution according to the above solution should be adopted. If necessary, ask a professional to repair it.
