Wylex fuse required in garage

[KEV 1 N]

Save yourself a few quid and have a look on eBay, plenty used ones at a good price, some brand new and still cheaper than screwfix.

If you change the fuse wire turn the main switch off before inserting the fuses.

Having the fuse blow under fault conditions as you are inserting it is not advisable.

Yes and look the other way as you switch it on or use a wooden broom handle

Is the garage protected by a RCD or RCBO?

Fuses blow for 2 reasons, over current or short circuit.

Curious as to why both his fuses have blown. I think rather than just replace the wire (or even retrofit MCBs) I would be getting it checked out by a sparky.

simple.bulb blew out, taking the 5A fuse out. OP plugged in a 10kW floodlight to see to fix and blew the 15A.
