If I plug my Television to the power source, When placed the power button, it will trip off my Generator. Please what is the cause?

There could be many causes. If the set is old, I'd simply get another one. Where I live we have craigslist where people list online the stuff they are throwing away that other people might want. There are several TVs every day within a few miles of me. My point is that an old TV set is worth very little and not worth the time to diagnose and repair.

That said, I would look first at the power supply portion of the circuit board. If you are not at all familiar with such things, be aware that there are dangerous components inside a CRT, and you should think twice about opening it up. A service manual for your TV would help a LOT. Sometimes you can find these online although the search can be difficult and not always successful.

If it is new it should have a warranty. Why not get it repaired or replaced under warranty?

Edit: Pipped at the post!
