DEFINING NUISANCE TRIPPING

Nuisance trips are clearly defined as unwarranted circuit breaker trips with either no electrically based reason for the trips, or, the breaker deems there to be a fault when one does not exist.

Nuisance Tripping is not the tripping of a breaker when doing its designed function. It is very tempting to call an 'intermittent' electrical fault (such as an intermittent short on a power cable) a 'nuisance trip' - in such instances the breaker is performing the very function for which it was installed.

I have a devil's own job in getting even top-notch engineers to understand this difference between a breaker rightfully tripping because of an intermittent short or some wire that has been incorrectly placed during repairs, as opposed to irritatingly tripping because the breaker thinks there's a fault when none exists. It is a subtle difference, but an all-important one!
