    Using USA inbuilt fuses with UK kettle lead fuses compatibility question?

    I'm not an electrician, but I thought this would be the best place to ask this sort of thing. I have just recently purchased some professional Audio speakers from the US, but they are built for international use with a switch for 110v and 240v usage. My problem is that the IEC/kettle power...

Today my band and I intended to go busking with our new battery and inverter, which we used to plug our keyboard and amplifier into using a dual extension cable. Within 2 minutes of playing the keyboard stopped turning on, and after 4 mins, the...

    SCC of BS1361 fuses

    Hi all, I came across a Hager consumer unit today that uses the small stubby cartridge fuses marked 1361. I don't know if they should have the short circuit capacity printed on them, but if so it was no longer visible. I did look in the BGB but couldn't find a table with the SCC listed, so could...

    Main cut out fuse- rewireable??

    Hello, I installed a new distribution Board at a house today and i found that the main supply cut out was a rewireable fuse. I think the fuse wire was bigger than 30 amp fuse wire but cant be sure what size it was because it had no label on it. Will this be a failure when it comes to testing...

    Socket extension question - max amps

    This has no doubt been asked often by non electrical minded folk like me but when a socket extension says maximum 13amps, does actually that mean 4 plugs fitted with 3amp fuses like desk lamps etc (or 5a+5a+3a) or does it go by the actual amps of the equipment and you could have say 6 plugs with...

    Substation Fuse

    What would the rating be for a substation fuse and has anyone ever seen one go while on a job? Had a mate asking me this earlier, and now i feel interested. As i understand it goes: substation fuse > DNO fuse > CU?
