 Toaster tripping a circuit breaker - Bromptonaut
I think you’re seeing links that may not exist!

First of all, it’s fairly normal for blowing light bulbs to trip the relevant circuit breaker. GU10 spots are normally max 50watts and unless you have massive number they should not impose more load than an ordinary fitting Provided the circuit operates normally once the bulb has been replaced I don’t think its anything to worry about.

What’s the max power/current for your CB? We have one incorporated into a reel of cable and rated at about 1200w. It’s OK with the mower but trips after a few minutes with the vacuum.

Like FT I suspect that the toaster is faulty (as it should normally draw a lower current than the kettle). However it’s impossible to answer without more info on the devices and the CB.
