As soon i plug in any equipment it trips my breaker. Is there a way to fix that?

Make sure your input/output settings are correct for the equipment you are plugging in.

You may be using too small of a circuit, or a circuit that doesnt have enough excess capacity based on its current load. Try a different circuit.

Thats correct. But its also about the surge of juice that it takes when it kicks on. So while the circuit may technically be able to support, the power surge of it kicking on causes it to trip.

The start up current is about 20A @ 220V for the 5000W transformer. What is the rating on your breakers? Are they slow blow or fast blow breakers?

Sounds like the GFI inside is getting tripped? You could replace it with a standard GFI from the box hardware stores to see if you got a faulty one - or check all your electrical connections to make sure they're not getting wet or shorting. I have installed dozens of these and rarely see the GFI trip (usually only after power issues).

Hi there...my keurig machine is 3.5 years old and has never ever tripped the breaker in my kitchen. Until today...tried plugging it in 3 or 4 times...different outlets....unplugged everything in the kitchen. I'm pretty sure mine has a short so since it has NEVER tripped the gfci before today I'm just going to put it in the bin.

Honestly I would just give up and run to an airport or train station and buy a new one from another company. As I said in my review, even when mine was in converter mode, if didn't limit the power like it should. It fried one device, but luckily everything else was dual voltage. If your things are dual voltage, my next question would be are you using it worn an extension cord or power strip, because it doesn't like those. Just make SURE your stuff is rated for the higher volts and plug them straight in.

I own two of these units with no such problems. Possibly the wire on yours may have gotten pinched there by shorting itself out.

Right away, should not have to take breaker out. If it does not reset you have a short somewhere. (Heater) ???

The circuit breaker built into the plug will likely have to be manually reset

Never having it happen to me, I can only speculate that you would simply have to 'reset' the surge control product so that it would work again! Educated guess, they usually trip like a GFI and then you simply push a button and reset them! Hope this helps!

You're connection to power is most likely coming loose. Try moving your cable around and reapplying your electrical tape. Let me know if that helps.

Hmmm, Only suggestion I can make is to unplug the power to it and plug it in again, sometimes it needs to be restarted.

Either something is wrong inside the unit itself, or perhaps there's a problem with your electric supply, such as bad grounding or voltage out of range.

If you are running them on same circuit maybe breaker has kicked out. Or if you are running them off a strip it may have tripped also.

if you have a 110 volt supply check circuit panel for a triped breaker, also there is an iginter that could be bad..

The "safety switch" is ground fault circuit interrupter(GFCI). I'd guess the your transformer is not properly grounded, which is tripping the GFCI. Try a different transformer, if available. Otherwise, have a qualified tech repair the ground of the transformer.

There us a surge reset button on the side. Please also read the description of the item.

check your cables, try to isolate the source by switching them out. i find a power conditioner works a lot better than a multi-plug. if you can't find it, i would consider return them for replacement.good luck

Yes, but you need to insure that the circuit you are plugged into can handle the load. If not, you will trip the breaker.
