Smart Plug "Overload Protection" Tripping
4.5
The smart plug turns itself off automatically when you try to use a specific appliance.
Symptoms
- Sudden power off
- App notification
- Clicking sound
Possible Causes
- Appliance exceeds wattage
- Inrush current
- Faulty plug sensor
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Check Wattage
Ensure the appliance (e.g., space heater) is under the plug's limit (usually 1800W).
2
Try Different Appliance
If a lamp trips it, the smart plug itself is faulty.
3
Disable Feature in App
Some plugs allow you to adjust the sensitivity of the overload protection.
When to See a Technician
Never use smart plugs with high-draw appliances like heaters or AC units unless they are specifically rated for it.
