Quick answer
A safety switch may trip because of an appliance, wiring fault, moisture or another leakage issue. If it will not reset, trips repeatedly, or there are signs of heat, burning, sparks or water, stop and arrange an assessment.

Frequently asked questions
Should I keep resetting a tripping safety switch?
No. Repeated tripping needs a cause, not repeated resets. If it will not remain on, leave the affected circuit off and arrange assessment.
Can rain cause a safety switch to trip?
Moisture affecting outdoor equipment or wiring can be one cause. Note the timing and affected areas, but do not handle wet electrical equipment.
