Why a breaker keeps tripping

There are three usual suspects. An overload means too much is plugged into one circuit. A short circuit or ground fault means damaged wiring or a failing appliance. And an old breaker can simply weaken and trip below its rating. The first is fixed by adding a circuit, the second by repairing the fault and the third by replacing the breaker. Our electricians in Brighton test before they swap, because a new breaker on a faulted circuit solves nothing.
