An RCD is capable of reacting to an unexpected rise in electrical current usage or leakage potential, which can be caused by the contents of your fridge or freezer thawing.
Sometimes, an appliance that is not properly connected can cause an unexpected spike in the electricity supply. If this happens, the RCD may trip and will then be reset as it is intended 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 essential to identify moisture in your socket box immediately. You should inspect exterior electrical socket boxes and outlets for moisture. Signs of moisture include weather-sealed boxes that have become brittle or reset switches that are not working correctly.
Spikes can also happen due to faulty or poorly connected equipment, such older appliances like washers and dryers. 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.
Trips are triggered when there is a sudden spike of electricity that can cause injury or damage. These surges can be caused either by lightning strikes or electrical faults, as well as from appliances with motors or pumps.
A faulty component in your central heating could cause RCD trips. RCD trips can be triggered by the faulty component turning on and off frequently, which could 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. It happened right in the middle of 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. You can reset it every now and again. You could also identify the source of the problem, and fix it once for all.
If you live on a ground floor, your fuse box (or consumer device, as electricians call them) is located underneath the stairs. Keep the area surrounding your consumer unit clean so that you can quickly access them in an emergency. If you live alone, the unit will likely be higher up than a wall in your hallway.
A fusebox is crucial to your safety. Think of it as the gatekeeper between yourself and all electrical currents coming into the home from the mains power supply.
These currents can be dangerous and could cause a fatality if there is a fault or surge. The fuse box detects unusual activity and cuts off electricity flow to the circuit if it becomes 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.
Open your fuse panel panel to check if you have circuit breakers and fuses. Circuit breakers are like a row or switch of levers and switches. Fuses, which are more modern-looking than most, are round and can be screwed into sockets just like small light bulbs.
Label your circuit breakers/fuses clearly. If they’re not labeled, mark them up with the room where they will be used. You will be remembered by your future self in case a circuit breaks.
Any kind of major electrical fault around the house will need to be repaired by a professional electrician. It is important to turn off the power and unplug any equipment you are using to make sure there is no live current. If you have fuse box problems in Oakham, Netherton, Rowley Regis, Dudley, Tividale, call Gigi Emergency Electrician today! 07782 805852
Miniature Circuit Breakers, or MCBs for Miniature Circuit Breakers in electromagnetic protection, act as switches within a circuit. They automatically open circuits when the current crossing the circuit exceeds a predetermined limit. It can also be used manually as an on-off or normal switch.
These devices, also known by the time delay tripping device MCBs or time delay tripping systems, are designed to trip and turn off the system if there is overcurrent flowing for longer periods of time. If this happens, the whole circuit can be damaged. However, in the case of short-circuits, these devices can trip and stop the power supply within 2.5 milliseconds.
In an electrical system ‘Fault’ is the condition which arises due to the malfunctioning of some component or wrong electrical practice. 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.
Miniature Circuit Breaker or MCB is a protection device that protects 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.
Thus, they are security devices that not only save electrical appliances or gadgets of your house but also the wiring and the entire house. There is a serious reason for an MCB to trip and it should be treated accordingly.
An electrical fire or short usually has a distinctive burning copper or metal smell. Sometimes, you may smell plasticized rubber mixed with burning rubber. It is not a laughing matter, as it can indicate that something has been too loaded. 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.
Although it is difficult to describe what it actually smells like. It is a blend 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 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.
Here are some signs that you might have an electrical burning odour in your home.
1. Overload – When too much current is flowing through a circuit, the wires can heat up and catch fire.
2. Short circuiting- when electricity gets stuck in one wire and flows into another wire, it will cause a short circuit which can lead to a fire.
3. Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI), these breakers detect if there is an electrical current flowing into your ground. They then shut down the power before any damage is done. This protects you against 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. 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.
During a power outage, make sure that all your heating appliances, cookers, grills, and fireplaces are turned off and are clear of debris. Turn everything unnecessary off, if possible, as things that are switched on will start working again when the power comes back, which could lead to fire or electric shock.
If your neighbors do not have power or street lights are out, a power cut is likely in your area.
When you have a power cut, call 105 to find out what’s happening. They may also be able to let you know when the power will come back on.
You might have a fuse or switch issue if your neighbors and street lights are still on.
A qualified electrician can fix any issue with your appliances, fuse box, or wiring.
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. Although it is designed to cut power when surges or other anomalies are detected, frequent outages could indicate that there is an issue with the circuit breaker itself. 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.
