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.
Sometimes, an appliance that is not properly connected can cause an unexpected spike in the electricity supply. The RCD will trip if this happens and it will reset as it was designed. Shortly thereafter, electricity supply should return to normal.
Moisture found in sockets or outside electrical boxes can cause an RCD trip. It is crucial that moisture be detected in socket boxes early. It is important to inspect exterior electrical outlets and terminal boxes for moisture.
Spikes can also happen due to faulty or poorly connected equipment, such older appliances like washers and dryers. 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.
Trips are triggered when there is a sudden spike of electricity that can cause injury or damage. These spikes may be caused by lightning strikes and appliance electrical faults.
A faulty component in your central heating could cause RCD trips. An RCD trip is often triggered when the faulty part turns on and off repeatedly, which may lead to false alarms. If you experience frequent or prolonged RCD-trips due to a malfunctioning component, your home could suffer permanent damage.

Ohhhhh! The fuse box tripped once more. Right in the middle of the game? It can be annoying if your fuse panel keeps tripping despite not knowing why. This is a sign that there might be a problem with your wiring or electrical appliances. It’s possible to reset it every time it trips. Or you can identify the problem and fix the issue immediately.
If you live in an apartment, the fuse box (or the consumer unit, as electricians call) is typically located on the ground level, below the stairs. Try to keep the area around your consumer unit clear so you can easily access the switches in an emergency. If you live in an apartment, the unit is typically higher up on a wall of your hallway.
A fusebox is essential to your safety. It’s like a gatekeeper between you, the mains electric supply, and any electrical currents entering your home.
These currents could be fatally dangerous if a fault or surge occurs, so the fuse box works by detecting any unusual activity and then cutting off the flow of electricity through that circuit if it gets too high. Without circuit breakers and fuse box, electrical fires, shocks and other types of accidents are all too common in modern homes.
When you open your fuse box panel, you’ll be able to see if you have fuses or circuit breakers. Circuit breakers look like a series of switches or levers. 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. You’ll be a blessing to your future self if you ever have to replace a circuit.
A professional electrician is required to repair any major electrical faults in your home. It is important to turn off the power and unplug any equipment you are using to make sure there is no live current. If you have fuse box problems in Short Heath B23 5, Tyburn, Stockland Green, Oscott, call Gigi Emergency Electrician today! 07782 805852
Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCBs) are protective electromagnetic devices. They act as a switch within a circuit. When the current passes over the circuit’s limit, they automatically open it. It can also be used manually as an on-off or normal switch.
These devices are also called time delay tripping devices. They trip and shut off the system when an overcurrent flows for a longer duration and poses a risk to the whole circuit. These devices can be triggered and stopped by the power supply if there is a short circuit.
Fault is an error or malfunction in an electrical system. A fault may lead to a very dangerous situation such as explosion & fire if not cleared timely, not only this, the amount of time for which fault remains in the system, it continuously deteriorates the system health causing high energy losses resulting in increased thermal stress upon the system.
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.
Miniature Circuit Breaker or MCB is a protection device that protects against overload and short circuit. The MCB is equipped with a bimetal and a solenoid coil that trip the MCB when there is Overload or Short Circuit. Complying with IEC 60898-1, MCB is used for the lower ratings from 0.5~125A.
Thus, they are security devices that not only save electrical appliances or gadgets of your house but also the wiring and the entire house. If an MCB trip occurs, it is a sign that there is a serious problem and should be addressed immediately.
An average electrical fire, short or short, has a distinct metal or burning copper smell. Sometimes, you may smell plasticized rubber mixed with burning rubber. This could be a sign that something is overloaded. You should immediately turn off your main power supply and contact your electrician for assistance. They will let you know how serious the issue is and if you should call the fire department or not.
Sometimes the electrical smell can be due to an electrical device you have plugged-in and not the system electrical itself.
Although it is difficult to describe what it actually smells like. It is a combination of all of the above. The smell of it will stay with you forever. It’s a nightmare for an electrician.
You can have electrical fires in any size and location. The wiring that feeds power through outlets, switches, plugs, lights, TVs and other devices is made up of both copper and metal wires which give off a distinctive smell when they are damaged by heat or overloading of electricity (this includes damaged insulation).
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 is when too many currents are flowing through a circuit simultaneously. This causes the wires to heat up, and can cause them to catch fire.
2. Short circuiting: When electricity gets stuck in a wire and flows into another, it can cause a shortcircuit that can lead to a fire.
3. Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)- these breakers detect if an electric current is flowing into your ground and bring the power down before there is any damage done to your home (this also protects you from shock).
4. Faulty wiring – This can be caused by water and ice, or by someone tripping over your electric cord.
It is dangerous to mix electricity with fire. It is very common to have electrical fires in your home. Electrical fires can happen in older homes with lots of outlets or extension cords.
If you detect a fishy smell, don’t hesitate calling Gigi Emergency Electrician or 07782 805852 as it could be dangerous.
You should check that your cookers, grills, and other heating appliances are turned off and that there are no debris in the way when the power goes out. It is advisable that you turn off everything that is not necessary, because when the power comes back on, things that are turned on will resume working, which could result in a fire or electric shock.
You may have a power outage if your neighbors are without power or if the street lights are off.
To get up-to-date information about a power outage, call 105. It should also be possible to find out when the power will be back on.
There may be an issue with your fuses or switches if your neighbors have power or if the street lights are on.
Get a qualified electrician to fix any appliances or wiring that appears to be malfunctioning.
A blown fuse or frequent power outages can indicate a problem with your circuit breakers. Although it is designed to cut power when surges or other anomalies are detected, frequent outages could indicate that there is an issue with the circuit breaker itself. 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.
