UK What type of fuse this is?

[banny07]

I came across this fuse twice. Could someone here let me know what type of fuse this is.? I need to fill EIC.

Type ii

Type I are the small ones that fit in the cu.
Type II are the larger ones which fit in the cut out.

Bussmann Mark type II as lr and type I as kr

otherwise known as ME and MF type (me being the smaller)

Why does a loose neutral at the mainswitch need the fuse pulled?

Devils advocate.

With the mainswitch off, no load. Neutral will be at, well, neutral. Nothing. Nada.

Yes, technically a neutral is a live conductor… but voltage test to earth first, and insulated screwdriver.

There is no isolator.

Please tell me you didn't put that fire hazard fuse back in

You pulled the fuse live though, which is probably more dangerous than tightening a loose neutral.

What would you do if you find neutral terminal on main switch damaged due to heat and you can not properly tighten it? I did what I thought was the best option at that time.

You didn’t say it was heat damaged earlier, just loose.

I did actually. As I mentioned before I didn't notice that crack until someone on this forum pointed out. I will be replacing it soon.,
