Wylex Old Style HRC 60 amp fuses?

[lights-on]

Apologies for newbie question- I'm only an occasional sparky and get stumped by these things from time to time- What's the best way to get hold of these old Wylex fuses? I presume they're not made any more like this? Hope this picture comes over OK....

What are you after, the fuse carrier itself or the fuse contained within it?

this site will have them, they have literally every fuse you can think of..
Buy Fuses Online from The Fuse Company - https://www.thefusecompany.com/ give them an email with exactly what you want and they will get back to you. if its just the fuse inside rather than the carrier then a good chance one of the bigger wholesalers in your area might stock them or get them in for you

The whole thing as pictured, with whatever wire / copper it needs inside it make it do its job. Thanks Gavin- will check these people out.

What's the reason for replacing....has it blown? If so, how do you know, is there no supply? Does it need downgrading? Is it for a new circuit?.......

The fact that you don't know what's inside the fuse carrier strengthens my view that a 'part time sparky' is a fallacy.

Edit: What I mean to say is that you are either a sparky or you are not. Respectfully, you a clearly the latter.

Take a look at his earlier threads .............

I'm glad you have the time to jump on threads like this. Not sure what gain you get from it?

is it lights- on or lights off !

That'll be a standard BS1361 Cartridge, any electrical wholesaler should stock them I'd imagine. I'm a full time Sparks and occasional old motorbike restorer.

Lights Off I would imagine.......at least until he gets his fuse fixed!

It's simply absent as the circuit was taken out while a flat was being renovated, and someone didn't keep it in a safe place. Just want to replace it. Nothing blown etc. It's the main fuse post Key Meter into the flat, alongside 6 identical old fuse boxes. I know I could run a lower rated fuse here, but thought why not stick the same back in it as was in it before.

That would be great. 60A would be spot on. Happy with 30A if no 60s available. Could Paypal you the dosh if you PM me?
