What causes a water heater to trip breaker?

There are three possible explanations for a breaker being tripped by a hot water heater. Water dripping on the electrical lines, a problem with the unit’s thermostat or the breaker could be the cause. A leak that allows water to come in contact with any of the electric components is dangerous and can cause the breaker to flip.
