ring final circuit breaker trips off

[Abot]

Everytime i use the brand new iron and ironing machine after a few minutes, the breaker trips off. Its annoying to go to electric panel board turn on everytime. The iron and ironing board machine has 2200 wattts. The ring final circuit breaker got 32amp which is enough to protect the sockets. Well, in that circuit is plug with washing machine, dryer, printer, oven and cooker. But even though only the iron and ironing board is in use, still the breaker strips off.I don't know why it keeps tripping off. Please anyone have ideas :-(

Could be a fault in the appliance, a faulty circuit breaker, a fault in the wiring.........

Isit actual breaker or has it it got test button it making it Rcbo or isit rcd covering that row of circuits?

Call an electrician. Saves people on here making wild gusses. You'll have to do it in the end anyway!

@Kingeri: Actually, other appliances are working properly, so wiring and circuit breaker are good. Yeah might the iron and ironing board is the culprit. Cheers

Are you sure it's the MCB (breaker) and not a RCD (will have a button with T or Test written on it)?

If you have more than 1 socket circuit (or socket on cooker point) try it on one of those first but your best options are

1) Get an electrician in
2) Take product back to shop

Oh really? It's always that simple is it?

@i=p/u : its the breaker itself trips off.

Give update tomorrow.

Roughly translates to “I’ll play about with things I know nothing about until I’ve broken something. Then I’ll call an electrician who’s going to charge me extra!”
