An RCD may react to sudden increases in electrical current or leakage current due to freezer or refrigerator contents thawing.
Sometimes, an appliance that is not properly connected can cause an unexpected spike in the electricity supply. If this happens, then the RCD will trip and restart as it is supposed to. Soon after, the electricity supply should resume normal.
Moisture found in sockets or outside electrical boxes can cause an RCD trip. It is important to detect moisture in the socket box as soon as possible. Check exterior outlets and electrical terminal boxes regularly for moisture.
Spikes may also occur due to older appliances like dryers and washing machines that are not properly connected or maintained. 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.
This happens when there is a sudden surge in electricity. It can cause severe injury or property damage. These spikes could be caused by lightning strikes and other electrical motors, appliances and tools.
RCD trip could result from a malfunctioning component in your central heat. RCD trips can be triggered by the faulty component turning on and off frequently, which could lead to false alarms. Permanent damage could be caused to electrical equipment if your home suffers frequent or prolonged RCD trips due to a faulty component.

Ohhhhh! The fuse box tripped once more. In the middle of watching the match It can be frustrating to have your fuse box keep tripping while you are playing. This is a sign that there might be a problem with your wiring or electrical appliances. It is possible to simply reset the device every time it trips. You can also find the root cause of the problem and fix it immediately.
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. Keep the area surrounding your consumer unit clean so that you can quickly access them 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 critical to your household’s safety. It acts like a gatekeeper between the mains electrical supply and your home.
These currents can prove to be deadly if they cause a fault. Fuse boxes and circuit breakers are essential in modern homes. Electrical fires, electrocutions and other unfortunate events would not occur as often.
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 more traditional. They’re round, and screw into sockets much like tiny light bulbs.
Do yourself a favor and label your circuit breakers and fuses. Mark them according to where they are located and what lights or sockets they go off when you turn them on. You’ll be a blessing to your future self if you ever have to replace a circuit.
A professional electrician is required to repair any major electrical faults in your home. 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 Handsworth Wood, Newton, Great Barr, call Gigi Emergency Electrician today! 07782 805852
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 be used to manually turn on and off normal switches.
The MCBs, also known as time delay-tripping devices, trip the system when there is an excessive current flowing for a longer time or if the circuit is in danger. These devices can be triggered and stopped by the power supply if there is a short circuit.
A fault is an electrical condition that arises from a malfunction of a component or improper 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 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.
The Miniature Circuit Breaker, also known as MCB, is a protection device that provides protection against overload and short circuit. It contains a bimetal & a solenoid coil, which trip the MCB in the event of Overload & Short Circuit. Conforming with IEC 60898-1 MCB is used to lower ratings from 0.5125A.
They are safety devices that can not only protect electrical appliances and gadgets but also the wiring of the house. An MCB trip is a sign of serious trouble and should be treated immediately.
A short or electrical fire will usually have a strong metallic or copper 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 will inform you of the severity of the problem, and advise you if it is time to call the fire department.
Sometimes, an electrical smell could be caused by a device you have plugged and not your entire system.
It’s hard to describe its smell. It’s a mixture of all the above. What it smells like will never leave you. 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 on their location in relation to one other, they can produce the same “burning Copper” smell or different smells due 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 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 electricity is flowing into your home and shut it down.
4. Faulty wiring can be caused either by water, ice or someone tripping over your wire and creating a short-circuit that causes fire.
It is dangerous to mix electricity with fire. 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.
Do not hesitate to call Gigi Emergency Electrician on 07782 805852 if you suspect that there is an electrical smell. It could be toxic.
Check your appliances that use heat and turn them off and clear debris from them when the power is out. 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.
The power might be out in your neighborhood if your neighbors don’t have power or the street lights are off.
If you have a power cut, call 105 to get up-to-date information. It should also be possible to find out when the power will be back on.
There may be an issue with your fuses or switches if your neighbors have power or if the street lights are on.
Get a qualified electrician to fix any appliances or wiring that appears to be malfunctioning.
In case of frequent power outages in your home and tripped fuses leaving your entire house without power, your circuit breaker may be faulty. Circuit breakers cut power when surges or anomalies are detected, but frequent outages could indicate that a problem exists with the device itself. Your electrician can identify the root of the problem so it can be fixed.
In a lot of situations we don’t have warning and the luxury to book in for appointment for help, however trust your local emergency electrician.
