Would "déclencher" work? (trigger, start, set off)

Dejoncteur is the trip switch, so....
|
|
|
|
|
we say in french 'disjoncteur' means electrical switch or the state you are when you brake neural circuit in your brain or getting crazy 'je disjoncte'
|
|

|
|
Ouais, c'est vrai. 
|
|
|
|
|
I aggree.
I think "déclencher" is the good word for a circuit breaker.
"Disjoncter" could do the work too but it is related too overvoltage or over-intensity.
|
|
|
|
|
But what else than overvoltage or overintensity could trigger a circuit breaker to trip off?
I think "disjoncter" is the perfect word. At least it is the one I would use, and any french people would understand it perfectly.

In french, we would say :
Le disjoncteur s'est déclenché. orLe circuit a disjoncté. We can hear :Le disjoncteur a disjoncté. too but in french, we don't like to repeat the same sound twice.
It's unpleasant to the ear... but it is perfectly syntaxically correct.

Déclancher is the good technical word for it. Altough people will use Ouvrir (Open) and Fermer (Close) in normal conversation for circuit breakers as they would do for a light switch.

"tripping off" meant like "triggering"?
|
|
|
|
|
Yes. A fault causes the circuit to "trip" or trigger in to an open state.

In French, the circuit breaker is a "disjoncteur"
The proper translation would be the verb "disjoncter"
But in your case, you would say something like.
"Mon disjoncteur a sauté"
I'd rather be phishing!

"kablooie"?
Try something less idiomatic to start with.
"Entered a fail state"
|
|
|
|
|
I'd go with "coupé" (cut) for a trip-switch triggering.
|
|
|
|

That's because the use of "Trip" in the context you have means "Failed". In english it's almost a slang phrase.
What you probably want it "Le circuit a échoué" - The circuit has failed
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

Nah, sounds like it succeeded to me.

"My circuit breaker is tripping off"
That means it exceeded its voltage max and failed. Doesn't mean it's broken, but it's designed to fault when that happens.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.

Actually circuit breakers don't look at voltage - they are designed to trip with an excess of current.
