Replace of 45amp Fuse with 50amp CB on 10mm2 cable?
Is this okay because of the 0.9 derating of fuse to overloads and because 10mm2 can handle 50Amp current. Installation in air equivalent double brick unit?
Forgive me, for all my terminology is going to be wrong here. My home has an old fuse box that handles a small section of the house. They take the Bussmann T15 fuses. I've recently had a fuse blow in an unconventional way. The metal strip inside the fuse is still intact. Instead, it appears to...

I know that after the Henley Block which houses the Service Mains fuse, the Voltage is 230v
If we was to remove the fuse and Measure the incoming Live wire, would the Voltage still be 230v?
Hi,
I need to run a spur from a main ring socket, however, it already is supplying a spur ( double unused socket ). Is the only way to disconnect the unused spur? Or can I incorporate a fuse? What's the safe way to do this please?
Thanks
I'm looking for fuse blocks/holders for some BS88 (actually BS88-4 I think) fuses from Eaton - models 50FE and 20CT. I just need a way to mount these in an electrical panel I'm building. I can find a few scant results for fuse blocks for other types of BS88 fuses, but never ones that fit these...

Hello everyone, I want to ask a question that I am sure will be easy for you, because I am not sure of the answer, but I am sure it is very easy for someone who is knowledgeable enough. Input 100-240V. 2.5 A - Output 24V. I have a 5A power supply, Should the fuse I need to connect before the...

I am getting conflicting information on piggy back fuses that I am using in my Honda CRV and Ram Promaster 3500. I assumed that the piggy back fuse connector was a bridge between the hot and the ground bus in the fuse block and hence was independent from the fused circuit that was using that...
About 15 years ago, after having had a modern consumer unit fitted, and prompted by our electrician, I asked my then energy supplier (Tonik) if our 1968 60 Amp cut-out fuse could be upgraded to 100 Amps, and what additional work/expense would be needed.
I did not know that my request had gone...

It’s the original shower installed when the house was built around 1995
The shower is still fully working after all these years, never blowing the cartridge fuse before
Am I right to presume RCD wasn’t...
