    Blown fuse

    4A fuse - how common are they ?

    Was looking at the manual for a Keston boiler and it specifies that the supply must be via a 4A fuse (P30). It strikes me as a rather odd instruction given it's not a standard BS1362 size and that's by far the most likely means of protection it would be connected to. Presumably if you used a 5A...

    60 Amp fuse Disconnect for a 50amp outlet

    Hi, can a 60a AC disconnect fuse box with 2 class K busman 50amp fuse work as a disconnect near the outlet ? Or would it need to be an actual breaker box, like an outdoor SPA GFCI breaker box? The AC box says compatible with class H fuses. Class k and h are the same size.
