Main fuse colours

[cbw]

OK, basic schoolboy question!!!!!!

I am used to just opening up a main fuse carrier to determine the fuse rating.

If this is not possible I will go by the stated rating labled on the carier. (often wrong anyway)

I have quoted to instal a power shower in a flat with storage heaters, waterheaters, induction hob etc, the customer wanted 2 10.8 showers fitting! I have persuaded her to go for 1 only.

However I cannot find any lables on the fuse carier and it is completely sealed and cannot be opened like the grey ones!

It is red in colour, has rubber covers where the screws used to be, when removed there are just rivets underneath, is there a new colour code system for these fuses?

you can find out by phoneing the electricity supplier

A picture would be good to show us the fuse carrier type

Are you talking about the old wylex rewirable fuse carrier colours

White-5A
Grey-10A
Blue-15A
Yellow-20A
Red-30A
Green-45A

 

[Mr Mark Sparks]

if you are talking about electricity board fuses the red ones are a solid link backed up elsewhere

It is just one of those, everything else is normal, head, earth, eco7 timer and switchgear, meter?????

I am sorry to be so stupid, we dont have many blocks of flats here in west suffolk, so what you think is this is a completely standard set up but with a dummy main fuse, and down in the cellar or ground floor at the main incomer I will find the relevent phase and fuse?


IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!!!! Thankyou!
