Because something is wrong.
Check for shorts and, if it is a GFCI, also check for ground faults and leakages. It is also possible, in the case of a GFCI, that an inappropriate load, such as a computer monitor or UPS, is connected. These devices pull transient power to ground and will trip a GFCI.
Do not ignore the situation. The protective device is tripping for a reason.

What is the difference between rated current In and tripped current?
"Rated current" is the current the device (motor or transformer?) is designed to handle at full load. "Tripping current" is the current where a protective device (fuse, breaker) will open to protect the device from overload/overheating. "Tripped current", may be the current the tripping device measured prior to making the decision to trip, if you are reading this from a digital protective device like a relay or OCR.
What is thermocouple cable?
The thermocouple is an sesnsing device , when the temperature increases it increases the voltage , that voltage is used for tripping purpose
What are fundamental characteristics of a protective device?
in order to avoid equpement and damage.
What is an Inverse Time Device?
an inverse time protective device is a protective relay with definite minimum operating current and definite minimum operating time for a given current. the device will ensure that increasing current in a fault, that the operating time will be decreased. Preventing an overload.
Ring final circuits in domestic properties usually require a protective device which is rated at?
According to BS7671:2008, Requirements for Electrical Installations, an overcurrent protection device rated at either 30 A or 32 A is required.

Is earthing required in Underground transmission line?
Earthing is always required. It is necessary so that a fault or overvoltage, such as caused by a lightning strike, may be conducted to earth (ground), either dissipating the energy and/or tripping the protective device.

When a protective device is in series with the load it is known as?
A common protective device used in series with a load is a fuse. More complicated ones include capacitors and other stuff that goes into surge protectors.
