    Isolate circuit but trips fuse board

    Hi Weird problem. I’m replacing plug sockets. I isolate the circuit for the particular sockets at the fuse board so it is safe to swap out. All good. Suddenly the RCCB for all sockets - not just the circuit of the sockets I have isolated - trips. Why is this happening? The RCCB doesn’t trip...

    Where do i get one of these please ?

    Hi Guys Got an Emmeti UFH manifold box we wired up a while ago, fuse inside has gone 'pop' for some reason. Not brought this type of fuse before - clear casing, got 4a marking on PCB above. What do I search for is it a special type ? Thanks Sy

    Federal Electric TB63SNT fuse switch

    Hi, I have just retrieved a Federal Electric TB63SNT Switch/Fuse unit from a skip, it looks to be in very clean condition no rust or damage to the cabinet. The cabinet door was open and the handle/selector was not correctly positioned in relation to the acual switch activating lever to enable...

    Mains adaptor - to fuse or not?

    Here's a Sunday puzzler for you all..... I've a large rental stock of properly made up mains adaptors for use in Europe and elsewhere - so typically something like a Schuko >1m 3c H05 / H07 1.5mm flex > twin 13A duraplug trailing socket, variants for other countries, USA and so on. The other...

    Bussman NON-35 fuse fire?

    Tenant reported that his fuse box caught fire. I found this stove circuit pullout. This unit was built in the 60s wired in aluminum but I found no corrosion and no indication of foil or other foreign material in the box.. The fuses are Bussman NON-35 Amp. Probably the original fuse from the...

    Difference between FSU and 3 pin plug, both with 5 amp fuse for LED downlights?

    Is there an obvious reason why I can't just fit a plug onto my LED soffit downlights, fitted with a 5amp fuse and plug it into a socket rather than install a 5amp fsu? I'm fine with the plug being permanently plugged in as the socket gets no use anyhow. TIA

    Regular blowing of 13a fuse.

    Hello I’m a floor fitter looking for a bit of advice. I’ve recently bought a floor grinding machine that has a standard 13a plug. When the machine is up and running, it runs at around 2kw. My problem is when I first fire it up, the motor quickly draws a load more power and regularly blows the...

    New supply to garage. DNO have not fitted fuse.

    My customer has had a completely new supply installed to his garage. The DNO has not put a fuse in the cut out though. I'm guessing he needs to contact the DNO to discuss? I realise it would be very easy to pop a fuse in, but apart from this not being allowed, I also wouldn't know the size of...

    20kA ipf on 15A 3036 fuse

    Hello, I changed a socket over earlier and tested the circuit after. The fault current was 20kA, Am I right in thinking I only need to consider the breaking capacity of the service fuse that's likely to be 80kA? I'm struggling to find any reference material.

    Fuse rating confusion

    Organizing my fuse inventory at the plant I came across some Ware 56-50 Amp (FRS style/size). The world of fuses is complicated enough... I cannot find any info on what this seemingly dual rating is. Anyone

    Blown Fuse---is it ok to leave blown fuse in and leave electric on.

    We have an older mobile home. One of the fuses keeps blowing. We tried to trace the wire to see if a mouse chewed on the wire perhaps. We think the culprit may be a racoon got the wire...because when we looked under the mobile home to find the wire...there was a racoon....and you can see...

    Fused fuse board no rcd or breakers eicr rating

    Hello I live in a rental in scotland and have recently had an EICR carried out. I have an old fuse wire fuse board on a wooden plate with no rcd or breakers, I had assumed this would be a C1 or C2 but this came back as a C3. Surely this is incorrect if the plastic fuse boards are C3s surely no...
