Why does my sauna trip the circuit breaker?

If your sauna trips the circuit breaker, it could be due to an overload of current. Infrared saunas draw considerable power, and if they're on a circuit shared with other heavy appliances, this may cause the breaker to trip.

Another reason could be a faulty heating element or wiring issue within the sauna. It's essential to ensure that your sauna is connected to a dedicated outlet with the appropriate voltage and amperage to prevent electrical issues. Always refer to the installation guide for specific electrical requirements.

For example, if your sauna is tripping the breaker after a few minutes of use, it might indicate that the heating elements are drawing too much power, which could be a sign of wear or damage.

Pro Tip: Consult an electrician to verify that your installation meets all electrical requirements and to inspect any potential wiring issues.

Consideration: If the circuit breaker trips consistently, avoid using the sauna until it is professionally checked to prevent electrical hazards.
