An RCD is capable of reacting to an unexpected rise in electrical current usage or leakage potential, which can be caused by the contents of your fridge or freezer thawing.
An appliance with poor connections can sometimes cause an electrical surge. If this happens, the RCD will trip and reset as it is designed to do. Electricity supply should return to normal shortly afterwards.
Moisture from outside electrical boxes or sockets can cause the RCD to trip. It is essential to identify moisture in your socket box immediately. 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. In the case of motors or pumps, if surge frequency and time are correlated, then the RCD trip was most likely caused by the appliance.
These trips can occur when there is an unexpected spike in electricity. This can cause damage or injury. These spikes could be caused by lightning strikes and other electrical motors, appliances and tools.
A faulty component in your central heating could cause RCD trips. RCD trips are often caused by the defective part turning on and off repeatedly. This can 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 again. You were in the middle of the game. It can be frustrating if your fuse box keeps tripping and you don’t know why. If your fuse box keeps tripping, it could be an indication that you have a faulty wiring or appliance. You can reset it every now and again. Or, you can find the culprit causing the problem and fix it once and for all.
Your fuse box (or consumer unit, as electricians call it) is usually on the ground floor if you live in a house, 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 can be dangerous and could cause a fatality if there is a fault or surge. The fuse box detects unusual activity and cuts off electricity flow to the circuit if it becomes too high. 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 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 Summer Hill, Princes End, Tipton, Hall Green WV14 8, Great Bridge, 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 automatically open circuits when the current crossing the circuit exceeds a predetermined limit. It can also be used manually as an on-off or normal switch.
The MCBs, also known as time delay-tripping devices, trip the system when there is an excessive current flowing for a longer time or if the circuit is in danger. However, in the case of short-circuits, these devices can trip and stop the power supply within 2.5 milliseconds.
An electrical system’s fault refers to a condition caused by faulty electrical practices or malfunctioning components. If not rectified promptly, a fault could lead to an explosion or fire.
Faults are dangerous and must be removed as soon possible.
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.
These security devices not only save your electrical gadgets or appliances, but also protect the wiring throughout the house. There is a serious reason for an MCB to trip and it should be treated accordingly.
A short or electrical fire will usually have a strong metallic or copper smell. It is possible to smell rubber mixed with plastic. This is no laughing matter as it means something has been 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 may be caused by a device that you have plugged into and not your electrical system.
It is hard to describe the smell. It is a combination all of these. What it smells like will never leave you. It can be an electricians’ worst nightmare.
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 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- this is when too much current goes through a circuit at once, causing the wires to heat up and catch on 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 electricity is flowing into your home and shut it down.
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.
Combining electricity and fire can be dangerous. Electric fires are very common in houses. Overloaded outlets and extension cords in older homes can lead to electrical fires.
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 all unnecessary appliances, as those that are on will start working again when the power is restored, which could cause fires or electric shocks.
There may be a power cut in your area if the streets are dark or your neighbors lack power.
The best way to get up-to-date information during a power outage is to 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.
There could be a problem with your circuit breaker when you experience frequent power outages in your home or if a tripped fuse cuts the power to your entire house. A circuit breaker cuts power when surges or anomalies are detected, but frequent outages can be a sign that the device is malfunctioning. An electrician can identify the problem’s root cause and fix it for you.
Many times, we have little warning or the luxury of scheduling service, yet know that you can rely on your local emergency electrician for assistance.
