UK What type of fuse this is?

[banny07]

I came across this fuse twice. Could someone here let me know what type of fuse this is.? I need to fill EIC.

Type ii

Type I are the small ones that fit in the cu.
Type II are the larger ones which fit in the cut out.

Bussmann Mark type II as lr and type I as kr

Thanks a lot!!! very detailed answer.

I hope he didn't have a visit from the seal fairy! the DNO police will be around later looking for her!
She was down this way last week!

It's type 2. And it needs replaced with that crack.

Thanks. I will inform the customer and mention this in the comment section of EIC.

 

[banny07]

No literally, that crack through the metal on the right, is that fuse going back into service?

Thanks. I will inform the customer and mention this in the comment section of EIC.

Only problem then is that it is in black and white that you have removed the fuse!

 

[banny07]

It's got a crack in it

great shout . tbh I didn't notice until you mentioned.

So your choices are put a dangerous fuse back in, or buy a very easily available 100a fuse bs1361 type 2 and fit that instead which would be far more safe.
I'm not suggesting either as it's illegal, just thinking out loud.

Of course you could contact DNO, which is the correct option.

oops . I had to! the old consumer unit had loose neutral in the main switch.

Why does a loose neutral at the mainswitch need the fuse pulled?

Devils advocate.

With the mainswitch off, no load. Neutral will be at, well, neutral. Nothing. Nada.

Yes, technically a neutral is a live conductor… but voltage test to earth first, and insulated screwdriver.

Can not work on live

There is no isolator.
