    I’ve not seen one of these before and i have a memory of them needing to be upgraded by the DNO. Just wondering as well what the BSEN is for it. Is it 1361 or 88-3

    Fused spur tv connection how to disconnect

    Hi I've tried some intense googling on this subject but I think I have the terminology wrong and also don't understand it so can't get an answer. Years ago an electrician installed a wall mounted TV for us and cut the plug off the TV connecting it into the wall I believe via a fused spur (?!)...

    Three 2.5 t&e feeding a socket and a fused spur

    I'm revamping the kitchen electrics, 1980's property. Majority of the sockets have a couple of cables going in/out of them, with the only exceptions being a couple of sockets tee'd off fused spurs and fed by single cables. However, I'm perplexed by one area. By the side of the gas hob there was...

    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...

    Fused switch with two feeds but no load?

    Hello, I have a 13A fuse switch in my airing cupboard that has never done anything. I thought maybe years ago it was for an electric shower but there was no wiring in the bathroom when I re fitted it so can't be that. Upon opening the switch there are two sets of wires, 2xred(L), 2xblack(N) and...

    Fused spur burn out

    Any thoughts as to why a fused spur connected correctly would burn out and melt the unit? Surely if it is pulling too much current (which is possible as it was feeding a socket used for car charging) the 13amp fuse in the unit would have blown before it got too hot and melted.

    Fused switch to tumble dryer connector issue

    I have had a new kitchen 3 months ago and the new integrated tumble dryer stopped working. No power, nothing. It is under warranty so an engineer came out and fixed it. He said that the plug has been cut off and a three pin push fit connector is in its place. He replaced the cable and plugged it...

    Why does RCD trip when fused spur switched on

    I was called out last night to an RCD trip issue. I found that switching on the fused spur to the washing machine would cause the trip & I could only reset the RCD after switching it off. Straightforward up to that point, but after unplugging the washing machine, then disconnecting the spur...

    2 fused spurs connected - why?

    Hi... I moved house fairly recently and I'm slowly uncovering 'quick fix jobs' all over the house from paint, render and now electrics.. I came across some electrics in the garage and I'm curious to know why they've done what they have and is it correct in any way, shape or form (and safe?!)...
