Fault Finding Services Oscott
An RCD can respond to sudden surges in electric current use or leakage current caused by freezer or refrigerator contents.
Sometimes, an appliance that is not properly connected can cause an unexpected spike in the electricity supply. This will cause the RCD to trip and then reset to its original settings. Shortly thereafter, electricity supply should return to normal.
Moisture from outside electrical boxes or sockets can cause the RCD to trip. It is essential to identify moisture in your socket box immediately. External electrical terminal boxes and outlets must be checked periodically 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.
When there is an abrupt spike in electricity, it can cause serious injury or 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.
A faulty component in your central heating could cause RCD trips. RCD trips are often caused by the defective part turning on and off repeatedly. This can lead to false alarms. 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! The fuse box tripped once more. 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. So… you could just 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. 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 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.
Open your fuse panel panel to check if you have circuit breakers and fuses. Circuit breakers look similar to a row if switches or levers. Fuses, which are more modern-looking than most, are round and can be screwed into sockets just like small light bulbs.
If your circuit breakers or fuses aren’t clearly labelled, do yourself a favour and mark them up according to what room and which lights and sockets go off when you switch them on. Your future self will thank you if a circuit ever breaks.
A professional electrician will be required to repair any major electrical problem in the house. 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 Short Heath B23 5, Kingstanding, Stockland Green, Erdington, call Gigi Emergency Electrician today! 07782 805852
Miniature Circuit Breakers or MCBs are protective electromagnetic devices which act as switches in a circuit. They automatically open circuits when the current crossing the circuit exceeds a predetermined limit. You can also use the device as a manual on/off switch.
These devices are also called time delay tripping devices. They trip and shut off the system when an overcurrent flows for a longer duration and poses a risk to the whole circuit. However, in the case of short-circuits, these devices can trip and stop the power supply within 2.5 milliseconds.
Reasons Why MCBs Trip
An electrical system’s fault refers to a condition caused by faulty electrical practices or malfunctioning components. 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.
Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB)
The Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) is a protection device designed to protect against overload and/or short circuit. It is composed of a bimetal & a solenoid coil. These trigger the MCB for Overload & Short Circuit. Conforming to IEC60898-1, MCB may be used for lower ratings between 0.5125A.
These security devices not only save your electrical gadgets or appliances, but also protect the wiring throughout the house. So, whenever an MCB trips there is a serious reason behind it and should be dealt cautiously.
On average an electrical fire or short has a distinct burning copper or metal smell to it. You may also smell burning rubber mixed with plastic. This is no laughing matter as it means something has been overloaded. For advice, turn off the main power and immediately call your electrician. They will let you know how serious the issue is and if you should call the fire department or not.
Why Do I Keep Smelling Electrical Burning?
Sometimes, the electrical smell may be caused by a device that you have plugged into and not your electrical system.
Although it is difficult to describe what it actually smells like. It’s a mixture of all the above. You will never forget what it smells like. 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 metal wires are what feed power to outlets, switches, plugs lights, TVs, and other devices. They emit a distinct smell when damaged by heat or over-use of electricity (which includes damaged insulation).
Depending on where these wires are located in relation to one another, they can cause the same “burning copper” odor or different smells due to temperature difference.
Here are some possible causes of an electrical burning smell in the home.
1. Overload- when too much current passes through a circuit at the same time. It causes wires and cables to heat up and 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 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 can be caused either by water, ice or someone tripping over your wire and creating a short-circuit that causes fire.
Combining electricity and fire can be dangerous. Electrical fires are very common in homes. Overloaded outlets and extension cords in older homes can lead to electrical fires.
Should you sense an electrical fishy smell, do not hesitate to contact Gigi Emergency Electrician at 07782 805852 as it may be toxic.
During a power outage, make sure that all your heating appliances, cookers, grills, and fireplaces are turned off and are clear of debris. 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.
A power cut may affect your area if there are no lights on the street or if your neighbors don’t have power.
For the latest information regarding power cuts, call 105. It should also be possible to find out when the power will be back on.
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.
A blown fuse or frequent power outages can indicate a problem with your circuit breakers. Even if the circuit breaker is designed to cut power in response to surges or other anomalies, frequent power outages could mean that something is wrong with it. A professional electrician can find the cause of the problem and fix it.
