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 will trip and reset as it is designed to do. Electricity supply should return to normal shortly afterwards.
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. Exterior electrical terminal boxes and outlets should be periodically checked for moisture; signs of moisture may include weather-sealed cases that have deteriorated and/or reset switches that trip randomly.
Spikes may also occur due to older appliances like dryers and washing machines that are not properly connected or maintained. If there is a correlation between surge frequency and appliance use, it is likely that the motor or pump is responsible for the RCD trip.
A sudden surge of electricity can cause injury or even damage. 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. 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 once more. 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. 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 find the culprit causing the problem and fix it once and 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. 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 could prove fatally dangerous in the event of a fault, surge or other unusual activity. A fuse box detects any unusual activity and stops the flow of electricity if it reaches 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 are like a row or switch of levers and switches. Fuses are more traditional. They’re round, and screw into sockets much like tiny 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 will be remembered by your future self in case a circuit breaks.
A professional electrician must be called in if there is a major electrical problem. It’s important to switch off all electrical appliances and unplug them all. If you have fuse box problems in Washwood Heath, Aston, Stockland Green, Bordesley Green, Spring Vale B10 0, call Gigi Emergency Electrician today! 07782 805852
Miniature Circuit Breakers, also known as MCBs, are protective electromagnetic devices that act like a switch in a circuit. The circuit is automatically opened when they detect that the current flowing over it has exceeded a specified limit. You can also use the device as a manual 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. These devices can stop power supply for short-circuits in 2.5 milliseconds.
The condition of an electrical system that is characterized by “fault” refers to any situation that results from the malfunctioning or incorrect use of electricity. 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 pose a danger to the system and should be addressed immediately.
The Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) is a protection device designed to protect against overload and/or short circuit. It has a bimetal & a single-ended coil that trips the MCB in cases of Overload & Short Circuit. Conforming to IEC 60898-1 MCB can be used for lower ratings starting at 0.5125A.
They are safety devices that can not only protect electrical appliances and gadgets but also the wiring of the house. So, whenever an MCB trips there is a serious reason behind it and should be dealt cautiously.
An electrical fire or short usually has a distinctive burning copper or metal smell. It is possible to smell rubber mixed with plastic. It is not a laughing matter, as it can indicate that something has been too loaded. You should immediately turn off your main power supply and contact your electrician for assistance. They’ll let you know the severity of the problem and whether you should call the fire department.
Sometimes the electrical smell is caused by an item you have plugged in, and not your system.
Although it is difficult to describe what it actually smells like. It is a combination all of these. It is all of the above. It can be an electricians’ worst nightmare.
There are many locations where electrical fires can be found. They can be anywhere from small to large. Copper and metallic wires form the wiring that runs power through plugs, outlets, lights and TVs.
Depending on the location of these wires in relation to each other, they may produce the same “burning copper” odor or different smells because of temperature differences.
Below are some of the reasons that an electrical burning odour may be detected 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 any electric current is flowing to your ground and turn it off before you cause damage.
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.
Electricity and fire are a dangerous combination. Electrical fires are very common in homes. If you have an older home with many outlets or extension cords, electrical fires can be the result of these things being overloaded.
Should you sense an electrical fishy smell, do not hesitate to contact Gigi Emergency Electrician at 07782 805852 as it may be toxic.
Check your appliances that use heat and turn them off and clear debris from them when the power is out. If possible, turn off everything you don’t need, since things that were switched on will activate again when the electricity returns, which could cause a fire or electric shock.
There may be a power outage in your area if your neighbors don’t have power or the street lights are out.
If you have a power cut, call 105 to get up-to-date information. It should also be possible for them to let you know when the power will be restored.
If your neighbours still have power or the street lights are still on, there could be an issue with your fuses or switches.
Get an electrician to fix malfunctioning appliances, fuse boxes, or wiring if you suspect there is a problem.
A blown fuse or frequent power outages can indicate a problem with your circuit breakers. Although it is intended to shut down power if surges or other anomalies are detected, frequent power outages could mean the circuit breaker itself is faulty. 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.
