Why does the difavtomat operate on one of the outlets in the kitchen?
Good afternoon! Please tell me how to simply and competently explain to the owner of the house the reason for the operation of the difavtomat in a certain outlet. This is the case: the kitchen sits on a difavtomat, in the kitchen there are 5 outlets. When a charger is inserted into one outlet from a children's scooter, a difavtomat knocks out, while when plugged into another outlet in the kitchen, this does not happen. Thank.
Hello! There are three reasons for the operation of the difavtomat - overload, short circuit or leakage of current in the wiring. There may be an overload trip - if a load is included in these five outlets that exceeds the nominal value of the difavtomat - in this case, you need to pay attention to what was connected to the network at the time of the tripping of the difvomat. Perhaps when you plug in the charger, a large load is connected to other outlets.
There is no short circuit in this case, since if the cause were in a faulty charger, then I would knock out a difavtomat in the short circuit in any of the outlets.
There is a current leak. If there is no operation when plugged into one outlet, then the charger is functioning properly. It is likely that current leakage occurs when the load is connected to another outlet. You can check the wiring with another electrical appliance - plug it into one and the other outlet. If, when turned on, the difavtomat will be knocked out into one outlet, as when the charger is turned on, then the reason must be found in the wiring line that powers the given outlet (the line that goes from the junction box in the kitchen to this outlet).
