Outside socket hang on to kicking out circuit breaker at Christmas?
Answers: Sounds like a GFCI receptacle tripping? Wiring getting drizzling or damp will rationale that. Keep it dry.
Too many lights
You enjoy too many lights hooked into the socket.
Solution:
Reduce the nouns on the existing outlet by running another extension chord from an outlet located in your garage, or at the back the house. Plug 50% of the lights into the new flash.
one thing is a short circuit. a short circuit is when both lines (positive & negative) run into. one good example is when within are cuts in both lines that the inner copper wires are exposed to one another. an just right electrical layout is that both lines (pos & neg) go side by side & they bump into somewhere in a lasting load (bulb, for example). if they join before they manage that load a short circuit happen. the circuit breaker can detect such fault surrounded by the line & it will shut stale automatically.
another is overloading. if the circuit breaker senses an overload in the electrical circuitry it will also shut stale automatically. have your electrical layout checked by an authorized/knowledgeable party before it make real trouble -- fire. apt luck.
there is too much of a nouns on the breaker. Use extension cords going to different outlets that go to different breakers. Or you could metamorphosis the breaker so it will handle more amps, but the first is the easiest.
Overload or GFI trip. Either too masses lights or a connection is getting showery.
