An RCD can respond to sudden surges in electric current use or leakage current caused by freezer or refrigerator contents.
A poor connection can occasionally cause a surge in 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 can cause trip by the RCD if it gets into sockets and electrical boxes outside. It is crucial that moisture be detected in socket boxes early. Check exterior outlets and electrical terminal boxes regularly for moisture.
Spikes may also occur due to older appliances like dryers and washing machines that are not properly connected or maintained. 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 surges can be caused either by lightning strikes or electrical faults, as well as from appliances with motors or pumps.
RCD trips can be caused by a defective component in your central heating system. An RCD trip is often triggered when the faulty part turns on and off repeatedly, which may lead to false alarms. If your home experiences frequent or extended RCD trips, it could cause permanent damage to its electrical equipment.

Ohhhhh! The fuse box tripped again. It happened right in the middle of the match. If your fuse box keeps tripping even though you’re not sure why, it can be very frustrating. It could indicate that your wiring or appliances are faulty. It’s possible to reset it every time it trips. 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. To make sure you have easy access to the switches in an emergency, keep the area close to your consumer unit. 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 can prove to be deadly if they cause a fault. Modern homes are not equipped with circuit breakers or fuse boxes, so electrical fires, shocks, and other incidents would occur all the time.
You can see whether you have circuit breakers or fuses by opening your fuse box panel. Circuit breakers look like a row of levers or switches. Fuses, which are more modern-looking than most, are round and can be screwed into sockets just like small light bulbs.
Don’t forget to label your circuit breakers/fuses. Label them according where you are and what sockets or lights go off when they switch 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. 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 Oscott, Short Heath B23 5, Stockland Green, Perry Barr, Streetly B74 2, call Gigi Emergency Electrician today! 07782 805852
MCBs or Miniature Circuit Breakers are protective electromagnetic devices that act as a switch in a circuit. They automatically open the circuit whenever they sense the current passing over the circuit has crossed a certain limit or value. This device can also be used to manually turn on and off normal switches.
MCBs are also known as time delay tripping devices which trip and shut down the system whenever there is an overcurrent flowing for a longer period of time and there is 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.
A fault is an electrical condition that arises from a malfunction of a component or improper electrical practice. 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 dangerous and must be removed as soon possible.
MCB or Miniature Circuit Breaker is a protection device which offers protection against overload & 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. So, whenever an MCB trips there is a serious reason behind it and should be dealt cautiously.
A typical electrical fire or short emits a metallic, or burning copper, smell. You might also smell rubber mixed in 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 inform you of the severity of the problem, and advise you if it is time to call the fire department.
Sometimes the electrical smell could be related to a device you have plugged in and not your system electrical at all.
It is hard to describe the smell. It’s a mixture of all the above. The smell of it will stay with you forever. It’s a nightmare for an electrician.
An electrical fire can be small or large, and it can occur in many places around your home. Copper and metal wires make up the wiring that supplies power to devices such as outlets, switches and plugs. These wires emit a distinctive odor when they become damaged by heat, overloading, or other electrical stimuli (including damaged insulation).
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 is when electricity gets trapped in one wire and flows to another wire. This can cause a short-circuit which can lead 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 if water or ice is present, or if someone trips over your electrical cord, creating a short circuit which leads to fire.
Electricity and fire are a dangerous combination. Houses are prone to electrical fires. Overloaded outlets and extension cords in older homes can lead to electrical fires.
Don’t hesitate to call Gigi Emergency Electrician at 07782 805852 should you smell a fishy electrical smell as it can 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. 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 be suffering from a power outage if your neighbours’ lights do not work or your streetlights are out.
Call 105 to get updated information if you’re experiencing a power outage. It should also be possible to find out when the power will be back on.
If your neighbours still have power or the street lights are still on, there could be an issue with your fuses or switches.
Fix any faults with your appliances, fuse box, or wiring by getting a qualified electrician.
If a tripped fuse repeatedly cuts power to your entire house or power outages are frequent in your home, you may have a problem with your circuit breaker. 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.
Sometimes we don’t have the luxury of time to schedule an appointment for help, so trust your local electrician to help you when you need it.
