Discuss Fault (DIY wired house) in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Oooo yer as the 6mm fed the whole kitchen....I.e lighting and sockets, there was 1.0mm cables tapped into this with no sight of a Fuse spare so I changed the "50" amp breaker to a spare 10amp one I had in the van and informed him we need to fuse down the sockets and lights as 6mm can not carry 50amps never mind the 1.0mm......do you think this was the right thing to do or should I of just left it......decision decisions!!
