If you have a fuse box attached to your HVAC system is it necessary to have an off switch? Also what does an arc fault circuit interrupter do, and when is it necessary
Hi,
We have an old cooker on the mains with a cooker mains red switch with a normal plug next to it.
The red switch is in the off position as is the plug switch.
Whenever I reset the RCD for the cooker ring in the fuse box, the entire RCD trips again - even if the cooker's red switch on the...
Hello, can someone explain to me what these are and how they work?
I suspect these are relays that control the electro heaters because the heating dials have an On and Night setting. Or because there is a dial in another part of the house where I assume some kind of schedule can be programmed...
Hi.
I have been having a problem with my AEG 7000 Series Washer Dryer (L7WEG851R) tripping my main fuse box over the last week. I am trying to diagnose what the issue may be. Here is what has happened so far. The machine is three years old, so it is now out of warranty.
Last week I ran my...
Hello - I’m a new member here seeking some advice.
I’m purchasing a project property - sadly the previous resident passed away. I’m trying to work out whether I will need to have any major electrical work done or not. The property is fairly run down, but the electrics look like they might be...

Sorry if this is posted in wrong place.
Obviously just showing you guys a photo will never give a complete overview but any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also we do have an electrician due to visit by beginning of next week. We've lived in the house for 6 years (2...
Hi all,
RCD1 (63A, 230V brand M2 model M263230) went down on my fuse box, the main switch is still on and so is RCD2.
RCD1 controls the lights, central heating and half the plugs in my house.
What puzzles me is that when I switch off all the individual circuits breakers on RCD1, I still can't...
Hi we have had a electrical installation condition report done (2 bed maisonette) which highlighted some issues all of which can be sorted by replacing old fusebox (installed in the 80s) we have been quoted £500 for installing an 8 way fuse board incl parts. The works are expected to take half a...
Hi all, I'm after a bit of an advice. We are buying an older property (1930s maisonette) and we had building survey done which pointed out old rewireable fuse board as in the Photo. It's seems only one fuse has been changed to a circuit breaker. The seller says they will have an electrician to...
Was wondering why was BS1361 replaced by BS88 even though BS1361 tends to have a larger breaking capacity according to the on-site guide if I'm reading it right, however, I maybe wrong.
For example BS1361 breaking capacity can be 16.5kA to 33kA depending on what type you get, where BS88 is 16kA...
Hello everyone.
I'm getting a bit desperate, as my car has been at mechanics 3 times already and nothing really helped.
Here is the problem:
My 2009 Citroen C2 has an electrical/electronic fault which no one can find so far. The car sometimes starts with no issues whatsoever, and sometimes...
Please the pic of my fuse box and guide how can I change the first floor fuse in this old fuse box. Note the fuse is not the pull out one. Also if you see in the pic it seems it comes out by unscrewing all the adjacent fuse which does not seem right?
Experts please guide.
If i want to wire in a fuse box to my utv and make it switched when the ignition is on. Is it best to run a continuous cycle relay say 150amp then run from there to the fuse panel
Right I’ve woke this morning to notice the immersion isn’t working. It had tripped in the box when I put the trip switch back to the on position there is a noise coming from the box itself sounds like a buzzing noise wouldn’t say it’s a loud crackling noise though. It’s stressing me out.
My house is Victorian and spread over three floors. The plug sockets through the front slice of the house across all floors don't work from this afternoon. The fuse box situation is pictured. None of the buttons has tripped - I switched each one off and on in turn to confirm they are still...
Hi guys just joined as I've got a household emergency.
Basically I've lost all plug sockets in 2 of my 3 bedrooms upstairs. I've unplugged everything from all sockets in the 2 affected rooms and have tried plugging one thing in and within a couple of minutes it's tripping the fuse box. I've...

Can someone tell me what the middle white fuse would be used for?
We have an issue where we lose power to everything to the left of it (downstairs lights, upstairs sockets, heating, downstairs sockets) and we think everything to the right works, I know oven and upstairs lights do. Nothing...
