    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...

    UK Main cutout fuse upgrade advice

    I'm having an extension built and the builder leading the project has said that the electrician will be over in about 4-6 weeks to start his works (wiring for a kitchen dining space, movie room, utility, wc and hallway). I'm trying to plan ahead and have just finished researching EV charging...

    UK Main fuse bunched with other houses

    Hi, wondered if anyone can help… just bought a new house and it has an alleyway between next door, in which I have found one main supply which branches off to 4 separate main fuses for mine and 3 other houses. So it appears the side of my house has the fantastic benefit of managing the...

    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...

    Hi, I have a flat in a rather old building in London. Its subdivided into a few individual flats, and there is a meter board with a gas and electric meter in each flat. My electricity supplier sent someone out a few days ago to fit a smart meter, but the fitter said he was unable to do so...

    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.
