GFCI outlet keeps tripping — Limassol, Limassol
A GFCI (ground-fault circuit interrupter) outlet that trips repeatedly is detecting a current leak — which could be a sign of damaged wiring, moisture in an outlet box, or a faulty appliance. While the device is doing its job protecting you, the underlying cause needs to be found and fixed by a licensed electrician.
Waarom dit veel voorkomt in Limassol
Cyprus runs 240V/50Hz with EU-style sockets, and summer AC peak demand drives voltage spikes across the grid. Limassol's tower blocks carry far heavier electrical loads than typical Cypriot stock — three-phase supply, lift systems, and central plant — so faults here are higher-stakes. Electricians must hold a category-appropriate licence from the Ministry of Energy.
