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...
Hello, just wanting to know if I can take a fused spur off my ring main and take it to one outdoor socket as well as an outdoor light. Or weather I’d need to fit 2 fused spurs. So one goes from the ring to the socket. Then another fused spur from the outdoor socket to the lights? Cheers
Hi all,
I have an Outdoor Air Quality monitor that needs mounting to 110-240V with a 3A fuse. See Attachment for manufacturer installation guide.
Is it possible to simply add a 3A fuse into any old plug and just wire it to the device?
Looking forward to your replies.
Hi guys
I installed this unit protecting a shed for a customer a while back and he’s text me with images showing the fuse burnt and it’s holder melted. All connections are tight and no moisture inside.
Any ideas why?
Also I’m hoping to replace this spur with a more reputable brand within its...
Hi,
I've just bought a new built-in 3.4kw oven = 14.8A @ 230v. I'm getting 245v so actually 13.8A.
Existing oven plugs into single socket fed from 20A DP switched fused spur.
Ring is small (3 double sockets) with 4 x 20A DP switched fused spur single sockets (oven, washer/dryer, dishwasher...
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...
Hiya Guys, I have a gas central heating boiler that is not switching on at all.
It's connected to a clock timer and then to a fused spur.
Boiler technician was out today to say the boiler is fine and I need an electrician, hence this post !
He said we have cross polarity on the fused spur. He...
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.
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...
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...
Looking to replace 3 fused spurs in the kitchen - have bought Trendiswitches as love them and gradually replacing all the old electrics round the house with them. First time I've looked at a fused spur, took off the old one, with an earth each side, the Trendiswitch is not earthed? Can I...
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?!)...
Hi, I'm currently looking at moving a socket so it's under the worktop for a washing machine in the kitchen, however I need to be able to switch off the socket. Am I right in thinking that I need to fit a fused spur above the worktop in order to do this?
While visiting some friends down south I noticed they still had the cardboard wiring info on their coffee maker, so removed it as not for final use. What was curious is it specifies a 7A fuse, and while I have seen and used some odd ones before (e.g. 1A, 10A) this first time I have seen on...
We have a Electrical PLC Control Panel that has to supply 45 Fused Spur units, do I need to protect these with an RCD, we have a 10A Type D MCB at the moment.
Each Fused spur controls an electronic Volume/Pressure controller which is rated at 130mA.
So the situation is this:
Historic 4 story townhouse to 4 flats conversion.
Supplier 3-phase cut out coming in at basement level (One of these will have a 60amp fuse, unsure whether the other 2 contain solid links or additional 60amp fuses yet).
1 phase feeding basement.
4-core SWA containing...
Hi all,
BS1363 Switch fused spur with flex outlet has been installed. But the installer hasn't used the flex outlet, they've used singles in conduit and the cable grips are still in place on the spur. However the client has challenged this, implying it should be changed out to a standard spur...
