Usually this problem presents itself because of the following.

To much current/amperage passing thru the breaker causing an unsafe condition. The breaker is a safety device and it is supposed to do this.

Worn out or wear breaker. Will ot hold the amp draw because it is weak.

Do you have an amp probe and can you take a reading?

If so post the draw and the breaker size.
