Why does my circuit breaker keep tripping immediately?

A circuit breaker is an electrical switching device that is placed to avoid any hazards from electricity and to secure your electrical systems. It can be operated manually and automatically.

During my home inspections as an electrician Sacramento. I noticed when a circuit breaker trips immediately that means a heavy flow of electricity passes through it and it can not able to handle the excess flow of power. To avoid overheating or major damage to electrical systems circuit breaker trips. If the circuit breaker doesn’t trip then you would see electrical fire or short circuits.

It is advisable before you just go and reset the circuit breaker to get the power back, must figure out why it keeps tripping.
