Mod to get rid of "zzzt" event?
I'm running android tiers and Misc robot mods so power is rather important to the survival of my game, and the event that gets rid of all your power is annoyingly common, and can be a bit dangerous if it happens while my power production is busted, not to mention the damn event basically makes batteries worthless as even on low difficulties the event basically happens every week, before my batteries even have a chance to fill up.

You can disable that event if you modify the scenario you are playing. No mod needed.

There is also a mod that allows you to add circuit breakers that trip instead of causing fires etc.

No mod needed to minimize the impact of that event, although this might need a bit of micromanagement:
Build multiple battery banks (I usually go for 10 batteries in a 5x5 room). Make sure they're only connected to the main power network over a single cable.
Place switches on the power lines to the battery banks.
Now make sure that there's only ever a single battery bank connected to the network. Zzt events will only drain currently connected batteries, so when one happens, you can switch another battery bank online until you have some net power to charge your batteries again.
