    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

    Does 1 Amp make that big of a difference in glass fuses?

    Hello, I have a Chinese 90w laser engraver, and recently the power supply went out. While operating, I heard a pop, and when I disassembled, I found one of the transistors had shorted with a black mark. I have since replaced this power supply, and replaced the fuse that is located in the...

    Does Ring Transformer Need Fuse?

    Hi, I have recently installed a Ring Pro Doorbell. It has come with a transformer which is going to be connected to the lighting circuit as the CU is too far away. My question is, does it need a Fused Switch on the supply or can it be powered straight from the lighting circuit? Thanks

    Fuse Box RCD vs RCD Adapter - which should trip first?

    In an attempt to isolate for certain whether my fridge freezer is causing my main RCD to trip or something else, I used an RCD adapter in the socket that the fridge is plugged into.

    What size is this supply?

    A relative in West Cheshire sent me this pic. He is contemplating having an EV charger and other electrical appliances fitted. He asked me if he has a 60A or 100A supply. From this pic, it looks like a 100A supply with 60A fuse fitted for some reason. He wants it to be 100A. Any ideas?

    Switched fuse isolator

    I have got to install a switched fuse isolator with 25mm tails and a 3 core 25mm armoured. Any recommendations on an isolator? Always struggle with isolators twisting and generally just not enough room.
