Main fuse carrier says 100A 415V BS88 1967 on it.

Hi, I am Mavis, a new member. I am not an electrician, hope that is okay, but want to ask a question. Twice in the last three weeks we have had the 5 amp fuse blow and would like to know if it is possible to buy a fuse carrier that could be just plugged in alongside the others in the fusebox...
Hi all,
Have recently applied for my local councils 'Trusted Trader' scheme and was wondering if I could get a bit of advice.
Basically they have emailed me with the following:
can you please let me know if you hold a waste carrier licence, if you don’t have a licence which facilities do you...
On a EIC it asks for Supply Protective Device Characteristics. Type and Rated Current. I know the rated current is 100amp but whats the type??
Sorry if this is a stupid question.:confused:
