You need to identify specifically what is causing the breaker to trip. It could just be that you have to many devices or appliances on the circuit; or it could be a problem with the wiring, switches or outlets. Some steps to take.
1.) Unplug everything from the circuit. If it doesn't trip anymore you had too much plugged in. Identify what can be switched to another circuit.
2.) What device or appliance causes the problem? It is most likely something like a heater or something with a motor; or perhaps too many higher wattage light bulbs.
3.) If the breaker always trips when it rains, you may have a water moisture problem?
4.) If the breaker trips when nothing is connected it may be the breaker or a short in an outlet or switch.

Why does an Electric circuit breaker have a melted wire?
Wow that is hugely dangerous and a risk of fire. They get hot because you are running a large amperage through them, melting cause it is overloaded. For example. If you had a 20 amp breaker, and 12 gauge wire (20A), and a 15 amp recepticle. Then the most you would want to run on that recepticle is 12 amps continuously, 15 amp peak non continuous. If you replaced the recepticle with a 20 amp recepticle you could run 20 amp peak, or 16 amps continiously. You could not go with a higher amp outlet as the circuit only has 12 gauge wire, and a 20A breaker. If you plugged something with a 30 amp draw into said outlet you would get the outlet hot. find out how many amps you are drawing off the outlet in question, then check the gauge of the wire in the wall, and the rating of the outlet and breaker that outlet is off of. Then we could decide what to do next. Well,Being a Electrician, my advice is if you have to ask question about that call a Electrician IMMEDIATLY!!!!It could be a number of things.A loose wire in the back of plug in,worse yet a broken wire that keeps rubbing together ,(EXTREME FIRE HAZARD)Electricity is nothing to fool with if you are not trained.BE SAFE<SMART.Turn circut breaker OFF.CALL ELECTRICIAN Really,cmon. Residential pulling that much power off ! outlet.....look outside the box!!how old is house would be first question

What should you do if the breaker in a trailer keeps tripping after five minutes?
You should first check to see if you are not overloading the outlets. If you are, just unplug something and reset the breaker. However, this is also a symptom of circuit breaker failure. In that case, replace it with the same amperage breaker of the same or compatible brand.
Why are both front headlights not coming on or lightly blinking?
Maybe a "dead short" in the system and the auto resetting breaker keeps tripping. Disconnect one at a time to see if problem is in one side or the entire feed circuit
My garbage disposal keeps tripping the breaker. I have used an Allen wrench to make sure it's not jammed and have also tried resetting the red switch on the disposal. What could be the problem?
Could it be that someone in your home is using it for a long time continuously OR using some other device long enough to overload the breaker? Not implying who that some one is

What's being done wrong when the electric juicer keeps tripping the outlet?
Read your instruction manual. If it says "Do not plug into a plug with a ground fault circuit interrupter," you are plugging it into the wrong type of outlet. Otherwise and most probably, nothing is being done wrong when the electric juicer keeps tripping the outlet. The outlet is tripping due to a ground fault. That means there is a loose wire or bad wire in the electric juicer. The ground fault keeps tripping to keep you from getting electrocuted. If the juicer is new or still under warranty, you need to take it back. If it is not under warranty, you need to get it fixed or throw it away.

Why your electric dryer makes breaker hot?

How to bypass single phase circuit breaker?
You should never try to bypass any protection devices. This is just asking for trouble down the road. The circuit breaker is there to protect the wiring to the device that is powered from that breaker. If the load is too large and keeps tripping the breaker install a larger breaker with new wiring sized to the breaker to accommodate the higher load current. Again do not bypass circuit breakers as you will have no short circuit or overload protection.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliancesalways use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
