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.
Occasionally, a poorly connected appliance can cause a spike in electricity supply. If this happens, the RCD will trip and reset as it is designed to do. Soon after, the electricity supply should resume normal.
Moisture in outside electrical boxes and sockets can cause a trip by the RCD. It is crucial to find moisture in your socket box quickly. It is important to inspect exterior electrical outlets and terminal boxes for moisture.
Spikes may also occur due to older appliances like dryers and washing machines that are not properly connected or maintained. 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.
This happens when there is a sudden surge in electricity. It can cause severe injury or property damage. 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 trips can be caused by a defective component in your central heating system. RCD trips may be triggered when the faulty heating component turns on and then off repeatedly. If you experience frequent or prolonged RCD-trips due to a malfunctioning component, your home could suffer permanent damage.

Ohhhhh! The fuse box tripped yet 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. It could indicate that your wiring or appliances are faulty. You could reset it each time it trips. Or, you can find the culprit causing the problem and fix it once and for all.
If you live on a ground floor, your fuse box (or consumer device, as electricians call them) is located 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 a flat, the unit is usually higher up on a wall in 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 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. If modern homes didn’t have circuit breakers and fuse boxes, electrical fires and electric shocks would be all too common.
If your fuse box panel is open, you can check to see if it has fuses. 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.
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.
Any kind of major electrical fault around the house will need to be repaired by a professional electrician. The most important thing to remember is to switch off and unplug whatever it is you need to work on so there’s no danger of a live current and call Gigi Emergency Electrician at 07782 805852 If you have fuse box problems in Priory, Dudley, Upper Gornal, call Gigi Emergency Electrician today! 07782 805852
Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCBs) are protective electromagnetic devices. They act as a switch within a circuit. The circuit is automatically opened when they detect that the current flowing over it has exceeded a specified limit. It can also be used manually as an on-off or normal switch.
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.
In an electrical system ‘Fault’ is the condition which arises due to the malfunctioning of some component or wrong electrical practice. A fault can lead directly to an unsafe situation, such as explosions and fire, if it is not fixed promptly. The fault also continuously damages the system’s health, leading to high energy loss, increased thermal stress, and a decreased system health.
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. The MCB is equipped with a bimetal and a solenoid coil that trip the MCB when there is Overload or 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. An MCB trip is a sign of serious trouble and should be treated immediately.
A typical electrical fire or short emits a metallic, or burning 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 can let you know if the issue is serious and if you should contact the fire department.
Sometimes the electrical smell is caused by an item you have plugged in, and not your system.
It’s hard to describe its smell. The answer is a combination of all of the above You will never forget what it smells like. Ultimately, it’s an electrician’s worst nightmare.
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 their location in relation to one other, they can produce the same “burning Copper” smell or different smells due temperature difference.
These are just a few reasons why you might notice an electrical burning scent in your house.
1. Overload – When too much current is flowing through a circuit, the wires can 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 if water or ice is present, or if someone trips over your electrical cord, creating a short circuit which leads to fire.
A dangerous combination of electricity and fire is the combination. Home electrical fires are quite common. Electrical fires can occur in older homes that have many extension cords or outlets.
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. When power is restored, everything that is left on will start working again, which could cause a fire or electric shock. If possible, turn off all the unnecessary items.
If you notice that your neighbours lack power and streetlights are out, this could be an indication of a power outage in the area.
For the latest information regarding power cuts, call 105. Hopefully, they will also be able to inform you when the power will be restored.
It is possible that your switches or fuses are faulty if your neighbors have power or street lights are still on.
Do not try to fix it yourself.
A blown fuse or frequent power outages can indicate a problem with your circuit breakers. A circuit breaker is designed to cut power when it detects surges or other anomalies, but frequent outages may indicate that it is not working properly. A licensed electrician can locate the cause of the problem and fix it for you.
You can count on your local emergency electrician to provide help when there is no prior warning or the luxury of scheduling an appointment.
