ISSUES with Circuits tripping

Job description

Switchboards Onehunga, Auckland

Published on 24th September 2026

We are having constant issues with our kitchen based circuits tripping a mutil plug board. I have replaced the Multi plug board twice with new multi plug boards. There is only a Toaster and an electric jug plugged into the multi board.

There is a separate appliance (De Longhi coffee pod machine) plugged into a separate three pin wall plug that is often on standby but not actively working that I believe is also on the same circuit. This is often turned on but isn't actively working when the power trips out at the multi board.

What is very strange is that some mornings the multi board trips... and other mornings it doesn't. No clear pattern exists

A completely un related issue is happening with out inside lights. Twice we've got up in early morning hours and when we've gone to turn on the bathroom light it hasn't worked.

A check at the main DB has shown the light circuit fuse has tripped. When you reset it it immediately trips again... this was reset unsuccessful 5 - 6 times and each time it immediately trips. We haven't gone back to the light switch and turned it on to cause this fuse to trip.

When checking this again in the morning the 3rd or fourth attempt to reset the fuse has been successful.

This light fuse tripping in the middle of the night occurred again approximately 1 week later... virtually identical.
