Fault Finding Services Elmdon
An RCD can react if there is a sudden rise in electrical current use or leakage current, due to the contents of your refrigerator or freezer thawing out.
An appliance with poor connections can sometimes cause an electrical surge. This will cause the RCD to trip and then reset to its original settings. Electricity supply should return to normal shortly afterwards.
Moisture in outside electrical boxes and sockets can cause a trip by the RCD. It is important to detect moisture in the socket box as soon as possible. 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 can also result from equipment that is not well maintained, or improperly connected, such as older appliances such as dryers and washers. With motors and pumps, if there is a correlation between the frequency/time of surges and use of an appliance, then it is most likely that that appliance was causing the RCD trip.
These trips can occur when there is an unexpected spike in electricity. This can cause damage or injury. These spikes can be caused by lightning strikes, electrical faults, power tools, appliances with motors or pumps, old washing machines and dryers and so on.
RCD trip could result from a malfunctioning component in your central heat. RCD trips can be triggered by the faulty component turning on and off frequently, which could lead to false alarms. Permanent damage could be caused to electrical equipment if your home suffers frequent or prolonged RCD trips due to a faulty component.

Ohhhhh! The fuse box tripped yet again. In the middle of watching the match 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. It is possible to simply reset the device every time it trips. Or you can identify the problem and fix the issue immediately.
If you live on a ground floor, your fuse box (or consumer device, as electricians call them) is located underneath the stairs. Keep the area surrounding your consumer unit clean so that you can quickly access them in an emergency. If you live in an apartment, the unit is typically higher up on a wall of your hallway.
A fusebox is crucial to your safety. Think of it as the gatekeeper between yourself and all electrical currents coming into the home from the mains power 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. Modern homes are not equipped with circuit breakers or fuse boxes, so electrical fires, shocks, and other incidents would occur all the time.
Open your fuse panel panel to check if you have circuit breakers and fuses. Circuit breakers are like a row or switch of levers and switches. Fuses are more traditional. They’re round, and screw into sockets much like tiny light bulbs.
Label your circuit breakers/fuses clearly. If they’re not labeled, mark them up with the room where they will be used. Your future self will thank you if a circuit ever breaks.
Any kind of major electrical fault around the house will need to be repaired by a professional electrician. 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 Bickenhill, Sheldon, Olton, Chelmsley Wood, Solihull, call Gigi Emergency Electrician today! 07782 805852
Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCBs) are protective electromagnetic devices. They act as a switch within a circuit. They automatically open the circuit whenever they sense the current passing over the circuit has crossed a certain limit or value. The device can also be used as a normal on and off switch manually.
Also known as time delay devices, MCBs trip and stop the system whenever an overcurrent is flowing for a longer amount of time. This can pose a danger to the entire circuit. These devices can also trip and shut down the power supply in short-circuits. This happens within 2.5 milliseconds.
Reasons Why MCBs Trip
A fault is an electrical condition that arises from a malfunction of a component or improper electrical practice. If not addressed promptly, a fault can lead to an extremely dangerous situation like explosion and fire.
Faults present a risk to the system. They must be addressed as soon as possible.
Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB)
The Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) is a protection device designed to protect against overload and/or short circuit. It contains a bimetal & a solenoid coil, which trip the MCB in the event of Overload & Short Circuit. Complying with IEC 60898-1, MCB is used for the lower ratings from 0.5~125A.
They can be used to protect your home’s wiring, as well as the electrical appliances. An MCB trip should not be taken lightly.
On average an electrical fire or short has a distinct burning copper or metal smell to it. Sometimes, you may smell plasticized rubber mixed with burning rubber. This is not a joke as it indicates that something is too full. Shut your main power off immediately and call your electrician for advice. They can let you know if the issue is serious and if you should contact the fire department.
Why Do I Keep Smelling Electrical Burning?
Sometimes the electrical smell is caused by an item you have plugged in, and not your system.
It’s not easy to describe how it smells. It is a combination of all of the above. The smell of it will stay with you forever. The worst nightmare of an electrician is an electrical burning smell.
The size of an electrical fire is dependent on its location. Copper and metallic wires form the wiring that runs power through plugs, outlets, lights and TVs.
Depending on where these wires are located in relation to one another, they can cause the same “burning copper” odor or different smells due to temperature difference.
Here are some signs that you might have an electrical burning odour 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 there is an electrical current flowing into your ground. They then shut down the power before any damage is done. This protects you against shock.
4. Faulty wiring- this can be caused by water or ice, or by someone tripping over your electrical cord and creating a short circuit that leads to fire.
The dangerous combination of fire and electricity is known as “electricity”. Houses are prone to electrical fires. Overloaded outlets and extension cords in older homes can lead to electrical fires.
If you detect a fishy smell, don’t hesitate calling Gigi Emergency Electrician or 07782 805852 as it could be dangerous.
Check your appliances that use heat and turn them off and clear debris from them when the power is out. Turn everything unnecessary off, if possible, as things that are switched on will start working again when the power comes back, which could lead to fire or electric shock.
You may have a power outage if your neighbors are without power or if the street lights are off.
Call 105 to get updated information if you’re experiencing a power outage. You should also be able to find out when the power will be restored.
Your fuses or switches may be malfunctioning if your neighbors still have power and the street lights are on.
Hire a qualified electrician if you think there is a problem with one of your appliances, your fuse box, or your wiring.
When power outages happen frequently in your home or a tripped fuse cuts power to your entire house, there could be a problem with your circuit breaker. A circuit breaker cuts power when surges or anomalies are detected, but frequent outages can be a sign that the device is malfunctioning. A professional electrician can find the cause of the problem and fix it.
You can count on your local emergency electrician to provide help when there is no prior warning or the luxury of scheduling an appointment.
