Three reasons I can think of. Improperly wired to much voltage plugged into it or it has a short. Make sure that the plug is not wired in line with plugs down the line. It should have jumper wires going from the circuit to the plug or it is gonna trip everytime. Also if the gauge of wire is too small it is gonna trip. Make sure if it is a 120 volt circuit that it has 12 gauge wire going to it. Hope this helps you. Good luck.
