Hi All,
Can anyone help with calculating a Zs value for the fuse described in the title.
The fuse sizes in Fig 3A3(c) of the 18th edition wiring regulations do not have a 355A fuse and jumps from 315A fuse to 400A fuse.
I've searched and searched but struggling to find an answer.

Hi Everyone, I got some Power Module damaged cause by Voltage Surge. My device protected by 25A MCB and Fuse. Why my device still damage although its already have the protection? Any other way to prevent this from happening again?

Hi,
I was having trouble connecting the bluetooth on my mirror so reset as per the manual by turning off at the fusebox.
After turning it back on, there is no longer any power to the lights on the mirror, however, the charging socket still works.

I’ve got a job to quote for turning 1 big flat into 2 smaller flats. The DNO are looking at installing new meters in the communal area. I need to take an SWA from each meter to the individual flats which one is around 15m and other is around 30m away.
Would a 25mm 3 core swa be the best for...
Hello, I wired a DPDT switch to my sunroof 12v DC motor. It was working ok and I was able to reverse the polarity of the motor to open and close the sunroof. However days later it started to burn when off, even though I hooked up a 20A fuse before the switch. I don't know if it's a short circuit...
Hello Everyone,
I have a technical question that I hope someone can help clarify.
We're currently facing an odd issue with a machine equipped with a safety relay and interlocks. The interlocks have been failing, seemingly due to an unstable or 'dirty' power supply. While the ideal solution...

Replace of 45amp Fuse with 50amp CB on 10mm2 cable?
Is this okay because of the 0.9 derating of fuse to overloads and because 10mm2 can handle 50Amp current. Installation in air equivalent double brick unit?
Forgive me, for all my terminology is going to be wrong here. My home has an old fuse box that handles a small section of the house. They take the Bussmann T15 fuses. I've recently had a fuse blow in an unconventional way. The metal strip inside the fuse is still intact. Instead, it appears to...

This appears in our Building & Pest report: "Safety switch installed, old fuse wire fuses still in use, recommend replace with circuit breakers."
The home was built in the 1980s. Are old fuse wires dangerous? How dangerous are they? What are the risks of replacing with circuit breakers? Are...
I know that after the Henley Block which houses the Service Mains fuse, the Voltage is 230v
If we was to remove the fuse and Measure the incoming Live wire, would the Voltage still be 230v?
Hi,
I need to run a spur from a main ring socket, however, it already is supplying a spur ( double unused socket ). Is the only way to disconnect the unused spur? Or can I incorporate a fuse? What's the safe way to do this please?
Thanks
I'm looking for fuse blocks/holders for some BS88 (actually BS88-4 I think) fuses from Eaton - models 50FE and 20CT. I just need a way to mount these in an electrical panel I'm building. I can find a few scant results for fuse blocks for other types of BS88 fuses, but never ones that fit these...
I have old home that still has a fuse panel in the basement. However, last week I was trying to find the fuses for the lights and outlets upstairs but couldn't find anything . So I started poking around in the attic and found this...
