An RCD may react to sudden increases in electrical current or leakage current due to freezer or refrigerator contents thawing.
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. The electricity supply should be restored to normal within a few hours.
Moisture found in sockets or outside electrical boxes can cause an RCD trip. It is crucial to find moisture in your socket box quickly. Check exterior outlets and electrical terminal boxes regularly 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. 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 may be caused by lightning strikes and appliance electrical faults.
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 again. In the middle of watching the match It can be frustrating to have your fuse box keep tripping while you are playing. If your fuse box keeps tripping, it could be an indication that you have a faulty wiring or appliance. It is possible to simply reset the device every time it trips. Or you could find the cause and fix it right away.
Your fuse box (or, as electricians prefer to call it, your consumer unit) is usually located on the ground-floor if you live in house. If not, it will be under the stairs. Try to keep the area around your consumer unit clear so you can easily access the switches in an emergency. If you live at the top of a block, your unit will usually be higher than the wall.
A fuse box is absolutely vital to the safety of your household (sort of like the gatekeeper between you and all the electrical currents coming into your home from 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. 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 similar to a row if switches or levers. Fuses are less modern – they’re round and screw into sockets like little light bulbs.
If you don’t have a label for your circuit breakers, fuses or switches, make sure to mark them according the location of which light sockets and lights they activate when they turn on. You will be remembered by your future self in case a circuit breaks.
A professional electrician will be required to repair any major electrical problem in the house. To avoid any danger of an electrical current, switch off and unplug anything you need to be working on. If you have fuse box problems in Great Bridge, Greets Green, Tividale, Tipton, call Gigi Emergency Electrician today! 07782 805852
Miniature Circuit Breakers or MCBs are protective electromagnetic devices which act as switches in a circuit. When the current passes over the circuit’s limit, they automatically open it. You can also use the device as a manual on/off switch.
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 be triggered and stopped by the power supply if there is a short circuit.
Fault is an error or malfunction in an electrical system. 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 hazardous to the system & require to be cleared at the earliest thus, there is a need for such a device which not only is capable of clearing the fault but also has a lower opening time in order to save the let-through energy & minimize the thermal stress.
A protection device called MCB (miniature circuit breaker) that offers protection against overload and short-circuit is the MCB. It is composed of a bimetal & a solenoid coil. These trigger the MCB for Overload & 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.
An electrical fire or short usually has a distinctive burning copper or metal smell. There may be a mixture of rubber and plastic that you can smell. This could be a sign that something is overloaded. Shut your main power off immediately and call your electrician for advice. They’ll let you know the severity of the problem and whether you should call the fire department.
Sometimes, the electrical smell may be caused by a device that you have plugged into and not your electrical system.
It’s not easy to describe how it smells. It is a combination of all of the above. It is all of the above. Ultimately, it’s an electrician’s worst nightmare.
The size of an electrical fire is dependent on its location. Copper and copper wires feed power through switches, plugs outlets, lights, TVs, televisions, and other devices. When they are damaged or overloaded with electricity (including insulation), they emit a distinctive scent.
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 reasons you may detect an electrical burning smell 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. Home electrical fires are quite common. Electrical fires may occur when older homes have too many outlets or extension cables.
Should you sense an electrical fishy smell, do not hesitate to contact Gigi Emergency Electrician at 07782 805852 as it may be toxic.
When the power is out, go around your house and check that your cookers, grills and other heating appliances are turned off and are cleared of debris. Turn off everything you can so that when the power comes back, things that have been switched on will begin to work again, which could result in fire or electric shock.
If your neighbors do not have power or street lights are out, a power cut is likely in your area.
Call 105 to get updated information if you’re experiencing a power outage. If they are able to tell you when the power will be restored, they should let you know.
There could be a problem with your fuses or switches if your neighbors still have power.
It’s best not to do the work yourself.
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. In spite of its design to cut power when surges or anomalies are detected, frequent outages could indicate that the breaker is faulty. It is the electrician’s job to find the root of the problem and fix it.
Most of the time we don’t have warning or the luxury of booking an appointment for help, but you can call your local emergency electrician.
