Ye them, is it for storing fuses. Seems odd.You mean these? Still available, but rare in domestic usage now. Flat I was in today still has them for the off peak circuits (Memora 2000 brand). Easier to replace than fuse wire, certainly - though not always that easy to find off the shelf...
I believe there are occasions in commercial/industrial scenarios where fuses have an advantage over MCBs still (not sure when though).
Nope, they are just fuse carriers - the fuse is the protective device, just as fuse wire was. Still valid in BS1761 in suitable circumstances - BS3036Ye them, is it for storing fuses. Seems odd.
The rewirable fuses came first in electrical history, and newer BS3036 versions have continued in use still today, but they have several big down-sides:You mean these?

The HRC fuses like BS88 has some advantages over MCB and MCCB that make them still a popular choice in an overall system design:I believe there are occasions in commercial/industrial scenarios where fuses have an advantage over MCBs still (not sure when though).
Good job you didn't watch the video as well!that's 5 minutes of my (now) limited time on earth that can't be recovered.beamwake me up Scotty.
I still believe parts of that video are fake, as I did 3 years ago! The explosions cool though.Here is an educational/advert video comparing fuses and MCCB, while it is biased towards fuses in some ways, it serves to illustrate some of the above points quite graphically:
Which bits?I still believe parts of that video are fake, as I did 3 years ago! The explosions cool though.
I would like to see the look on his customers face when they open the door to him ?You been wearing that head for 3 years? Bloody hell it must be stinking…. ?
You should see the look when they see my real face! ?I would like to see the look on his customers face when they open the door to him ?
That does look a bit odd.This for one:
