Hello, can you help me with my ring main / fuse board?

[xenon20]

Hi to all

My plug sockets upstairs are supposed to be on a ring main, I have continuity from the fuse board to all seven sockets but the final leg back to the fuse board has no continuity on the live wire. It's possible that it has been like this for years and that the circuit has always been running as a radial circuit. I have now replaced the 30A rewirable fuse with 15A fuse wire.

To run a new wire will be very difficult given the route the current wire is taking, is it safe to leave the circuit as a radial with a 15A fuse fitted?

Also I was interested in swapping some/all of the rewirable fuses with mcb's but have no idea whether I can get them for my fuse board (I can't find the part number of it). It tells me that it's an "MEM Memera" but thats all it says. Its a black box which takes fuse holders that have 4 prongs that are of vertical orientation. I cant find any pictures of it on google images. I am guessing it was installed when the house was built around 1981.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

If you are a novice, then definitely get a qualified electrician in mate. Better to spend a bit of cash than end up a victim of an electrical accident.

Oh yes, If I decide to go down that route then I will get the Pro in to install. Certainly not a DIY job, especially for somebody with as little experience as me.

Cheers
