Discuss Urgent: 60 amp main cut out fuse required in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
which is yet another nail in the coffin of the dreaded 3036 fuse. not only do they sometimes not blow when required, but the arrangement is open to fitting unsuitable wire in the fuse holder.
I had a 60A DNO fuse blow feeding a storage heater beard which was drawing 83A (according to the engineer who replaced the 60A), and he said it is common for slightly overloaded 60A's like this to work happily for a few years then eventually give out, so it is quite possible that adding fairy lights pushed a 'worn' fuse over the edge.
would (should..lol) show up on an ECR.....which is yet another nail in the coffin of the dreaded 3036 fuse. not only do they sometimes not blow when required, but the arrangement is open to fitting unsuitable wire in the fuse holder.
well...aye..i suppose...how many home owners are there in the UK with 3036 rewireables, that wouldn't know a EICR if it jumped up and bit them in the arse? ( the home owners, that is, not the fuses )
just scrollin through some of this....
seen some beautys n all....such as
someone goin on about pullin bullits under load.
quick fixes with 30A fuse wire in parallel (2)
just thought i`d mention that the service head is DNO property.....so get them to come and sort it...
at least someone bothered to ask the obvious: why did the bullit operate in the first place?....
i think someones been buggerin about with that cutout myself......
