If there is an abrupt rise in the use of electrical current or leakage, your RCD will react. This could be due to frozen contents or fridge thawing.
Occasionally, a poorly connected appliance can cause a spike in electricity supply. If this happens, the RCD may trip and will then be reset as it is intended to do. Electricity supply should return to normal shortly afterwards.
Moisture found in sockets or outside electrical boxes can cause an RCD trip. It is crucial that moisture be detected in socket boxes early. You should inspect exterior electrical socket boxes and outlets for moisture. Signs of moisture include weather-sealed boxes that have become brittle or reset switches that are not working correctly.
Spikes could also be caused by older electrical appliances, such washing machines or dryers that have been improperly connected or not maintained. Motors and pumps are more likely to cause RCD trips if there is an association between the frequency/time of surges, and the use of the appliance.
These trips can occur when there is an unexpected spike in electricity. This can cause damage or injury. These spikes can occur due to lightning strikes, electric faults, power tools and appliances with pumps or motors.
RCD trips could be caused by a faulty component of your central heating. RCD trips are often caused by the defective part turning on and off repeatedly. This can lead to false alarms. If you have a defective component that causes frequent or long-lasting RCD trips in your home, permanent damage can be done to your electrical equipment.

Ohhhhh! The fuse box tripped yet again. The fuse box tripped again right in middle of the game. It can be annoying if your fuse panel keeps tripping despite not knowing why. It’s a sign that somewhere in your home you might be harbouring a faulty electrical appliance or wiring. You can reset it every now and again. Or you could find the cause and fix it right away.
If you live on a ground floor, your fuse box (or consumer device, as electricians call them) is located underneath the stairs. Clear the area around the consumer unit so that it is easy to reach in an emergency. The unit will be higher up if you live in a flat.
A fuse box is vital for the safety of your household. It acts as a gatekeeper between your house and the mains electricity supply.
These currents may prove fatally hazardous if there is an electrical fault or surge. To prevent this, the fuse box detects abnormal activity and cuts off any electricity flowing through the circuit. If modern homes didn’t have circuit breakers and fuse boxes, electrical fires and electric shocks would be all too common.
If you open the fuse box panel, you will be able see if there are fuses or circuit breaks. Circuit breakers look similar to a row if switches or levers. Fuses are less modern – they’re round and screw into sockets like little light bulbs.
If you don’t have a label for your circuit breakers, fuses or switches, make sure to mark them according the location of which light sockets and lights they activate when they turn on. You’ll be glad you did if your circuit ever goes out of control.
A professional electrician will be required to repair any major electrical problem in the house. To avoid any danger of an electrical current, switch off and unplug anything you need to be working on. If you have fuse box problems in Hall Green B71 2, Hateley Heath, Lyndon, Friar Park, Newton, call Gigi Emergency Electrician today! 07782 805852
Miniature Circuit Breakers, or MCBs for Miniature Circuit Breakers in electromagnetic protection, act as switches within a circuit. They open the circuit automatically when the current passing through it exceeds a set limit. It can also be used manually as an on-off or normal switch.
These devices, also known by the time delay tripping device MCBs or time delay tripping systems, are designed to trip and turn off the system if there is overcurrent flowing for longer periods of time. If this happens, the whole circuit can be damaged. These devices can stop power supply for short-circuits in 2.5 milliseconds.
Fault is an error or malfunction in an electrical system. If not addressed promptly, a fault can lead to an extremely dangerous situation like explosion and fire.
Faults are hazardous to the system & require to be cleared at the earliest thus, there is a need for such a device which not only is capable of clearing the fault but also has a lower opening time in order to save the let-through energy & minimize the thermal stress.
The Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) is a protection device designed to protect against overload and/or short circuit. It is composed of a bimetal & a solenoid coil. These trigger the MCB for Overload & Short Circuit. Conforming to IEC 60898-1 MCB can be used for lower ratings starting at 0.5125A.
Thus, they are security devices that not only save electrical appliances or gadgets of your house but also the wiring and the entire house. So, whenever an MCB trips there is a serious reason behind it and should be dealt cautiously.
On average an electrical fire or short has a distinct burning copper or metal smell to it. You might also smell rubber mixed in with plastic. This could be a sign that something is overloaded. Your main power should be turned off immediately. Call your electrician to get advice. They will let you know how serious the issue is and if you should call the fire department or not.
Sometimes the electrical smell could be related to a device you have plugged in and not your system electrical at all.
Although it’s difficult to describe, it smells awful. It is a combination of all of the above. What it smells like will never leave you. The worst nightmare of an electrician is an electrical burning smell.
You can have electrical fires in any size and location. Copper and copper wires feed power through switches, plugs outlets, lights, TVs, televisions, and other devices. When they are damaged or overloaded with electricity (including insulation), they emit a distinctive scent.
Depending upon where the wires are placed in relation to each another, they can either produce the same “burning” copper odor or a different smell due to temperature difference.
Below are some of the reasons that an electrical burning odour may be detected in your home.
1. Overload- when too much current passes through a circuit at the same time. It causes wires and cables to heat up and catch fire.
2. Short circuiting- when electricity gets stuck in one wire and flows into another wire, it will cause a short circuit which can lead to a fire.
3. Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). These breakers detect if electric current is flowing into the ground and bring it down before damage occurs.
4. Faulty Wiring- This could be caused by water, ice, or someone tripping over your cord.
It is dangerous to mix electricity with fire. Electric fires are very common in houses. Electrical fires can occur in older homes that have many extension cords or outlets.
Should you sense an electrical fishy smell, do not hesitate to contact Gigi Emergency Electrician at 07782 805852 as it may be toxic.
Make sure that all of your cooking, grilling, and other heating appliances are turned off and are free of debris when the power goes out. If possible, turn off everything you don’t need, since things that were switched on will activate again when the electricity returns, which could cause a fire or electric shock.
You may be suffering from a power outage if your neighbours’ lights do not work or your streetlights are out.
To get up-to-date information about a power outage, call 105. You should also be able to find out when the power will be restored.
It may be a fuse or switch issue if your neighbours are still getting power or the street lights are still on.
If it’s an electrical issue, call a professional right away.
Whenever power outages occur frequently in your home or a fuse trips, your circuit breaker may need to be replaced. Even if the circuit breaker is designed to cut power in response to surges or other anomalies, frequent power outages could mean that something is wrong with it. A licensed electrician can locate the cause of the problem and fix it for you.
