Fault Finding Services Longford

An RCD can respond to sudden surges in electric current use or leakage current caused by freezer or refrigerator contents.

An appliance with poor connections can sometimes cause an electrical surge. If this happens, the RCD may trip and will then be reset as it is intended to do. Electricity supply should return to normal shortly afterwards.

Moisture found in sockets or outside electrical boxes can cause an RCD trip. It is crucial to find moisture in your socket box quickly. External electrical terminal boxes and outlets must be checked periodically for moisture.

Spikes can also be the result of poorly maintained or incorrectly connected equipment such as older electrical appliances, such as washing machines and dryers, which can cause the power to surge. When there is a correlation in the frequency/time and usage of an appliance and surges, then motors and pumps will most likely be causing the RCD to trip.

Trips are triggered when there is a sudden spike of electricity that can cause injury or damage. These spikes can occur due to lightning strikes, electric faults, power tools and appliances with pumps or motors.

RCD trips may be caused if a component of your central heating is defective. RCD trips may be triggered when the faulty heating component turns on and then off repeatedly. If you have a defective component that causes frequent or long-lasting RCD trips in your home, permanent damage can be done to your electrical equipment.

Ohhhhh! It happened again. Right in the middle of the game? If your fuse box keeps tripping even though you’re not sure why, it can be very frustrating. It is an indicator that something in your home might be defective. So… you could just reset it every time it trips. You could also identify the source of the problem, and fix it once for all.

 

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. Keep the area surrounding your consumer unit clean so that you can quickly access them in an emergency. If you live in a flat, the unit is usually higher up on a wall in your hallway.

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 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.

You can see whether you have circuit breakers or fuses by opening your fuse box panel. Circuit breakers appear like a row of switches or levers. Fuses are a bit more modern. They are round and screw into sockets in the same way as little 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 a blessing to your future self if you ever have to replace a circuit.

An electrician should be able to fix any electrical problems in your house. It is important to turn off the power and unplug any equipment you are using to make sure there is no live current.

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. This device can also serve as a standard on/off 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. However, in the case of short-circuits, these devices can trip and stop the power supply within 2.5 milliseconds.

 

The Reasons Behind MCB’s Tripping

In an electrical system ‘Fault’ is the condition which arises due to the malfunctioning of some component or wrong electrical practice. If not rectified promptly, a fault could lead to an explosion or fire.

Faults pose a danger to the system and should be addressed immediately.

 

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 act as security devices and protect not only electrical appliances but the wiring in your entire house. An MCB trip is a sign of serious trouble and should be treated immediately.

An average electrical fire, short or short, has a distinct metal or burning copper smell. It is possible to smell rubber mixed with plastic. This is not something to laugh at as it could indicate that your main power supply has been overload. You should immediately turn off your main power supply and contact your electrician for assistance. 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.

Although it’s difficult to describe, it smells awful. It is a combination of all of the above. The smell of it will stay with you forever. It can be an electricians’ 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 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.

Here are some signs that you might have an electrical burning odour 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 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 any electric current is flowing to your ground and turn it off before you cause damage.

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.

Combining electricity and fire can be dangerous. Electrical fires are very common in homes. Electrical fires may occur when older homes have too many outlets or extension cables.

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. 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.

 

You may be suffering from a power outage if your neighbours’ lights do not work or your streetlights are out.

If you have a power cut, call 105 to get up-to-date information. You should also be able to find out when the power will be restored.

If your neighbors still have power or the street lights are still on, you may need to replace your fuses or switches.

If you think there’s a fault with your appliances, fuse box or wiring, get a qualified electrician to fix it.

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. Circuit breakers cut power when surges or anomalies are detected, but frequent outages could indicate that a problem exists with the device itself. To get a problem resolved, you need an electrician to identify the root cause.

Many times, we do not get warning and there is no time to make an appointment, but you can trust your local emergency electrician.
