If Reconnecting an Electrical Device Causes a Tripped Branch Breaker

If, on the other hand, you have no trouble resetting the branch breakers and the main breaker does not trip, the problem may be due to a faulty appliance or other piece of electrical equipment. Narrow down the possibilities by reconnecting all devices that were plugged in previously, 1 by 1, to see whether any of them causes a tripped breaker. If so, repair or replace the item.
