Causes of power failures
The first possibility is that the short circuit is caused by adefective device.Consider, for example, moisture in the outsidelighting or a blown fuse. Try to find out which device has the problem and kpeel it off. Then flip the circuit breaker again.
​
The second possibility isoverload. Have you switched on several electrical appliances at the same time and does the power cut out when you switch on another electrical appliance? In this situation, too much current has flowed through the wiring in your home. This causes the wiring to become too hot, increasing the risk of fire.
