UK - Power Problem, Box Trips, Overloading?
Hello i'm new here but i wanted to ask a question, replies needed from UK growers.
I have maybe been overloading my circuits as each time i plug everything in it trips the mains electric box. If i use less stuff it doesn't happen so it's deffinitely to much juice being pulled from the mains.
Is there any way of fixing this?
Thanks.

I do use relays but that isn't the issue, it just trips out at the mains box and i can't figure out a way to stop it. I know a UK circuit can take around 3kw of power before it gets a little upset.
Just wondering if anyone knows of a work around (without cheating the electric company). I may grow a bit of stuff for friends but i'm not a thief.
