Need more info.  What kind of trailer brakes?  Hydraulic surge 
brakes?  Electric brakes?  How many trailer axles?  Brakes on all 
trailer wheels?  How heavy the trailer?   Loaded or empty?  Most 
trailers under 1000 pounds gross weight don't have brakes, so I 
susect this is something bigger?  Electric trailer brakes require an 
electronic control to limit current.  Surge brakes usually do what 
they should if you grease thd sliding hitch coupling (but can be a 
pain for backing up).
