An RCD can respond to sudden surges in electric current use or leakage current caused by freezer or refrigerator contents.
A poorly connected appliance may occasionally cause an increase in electricity supply. If this happens, then the RCD will trip and restart as it is supposed to. The electricity supply should be restored to normal within a few hours.
Moisture can cause trip by the RCD if it gets into sockets and electrical boxes outside. It is important to detect moisture in the socket box as soon as possible. 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 could also be caused by older electrical appliances, such washing machines or dryers that have been improperly connected or not 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.
Trips are triggered when there is a sudden spike of electricity that can cause injury or damage. These spikes could be caused by lightning strikes and other electrical motors, appliances and tools.
RCD trips can be caused by a defective component in your central heating system. RCD trips often occur when the defective component switches on and off multiple times, leading to false alarms. If you experience frequent or prolonged RCD-trips due to a malfunctioning component, your home could suffer permanent damage.

Ohhhhh! It happened again. In the middle of watching the match If your fuse box keeps on tripping, it can be frustrating. It could indicate that your wiring or appliances are faulty. It’s possible to reset it every time it trips. Or you can identify the problem and fix the issue immediately.
If you live in a home, your fuse box, or consumer unit as electricians refer to it, is normally located on the ground floor, under the stairs. You should keep the area around your unit clean to make it easy to access in case of an emergency. If you live in an apartment, the unit is typically higher up on a wall of your hallway.
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 can prove to be deadly if they cause a fault. If modern homes didn’t have circuit breakers and fuse boxes, electrical fires and electric shocks would be all too common.
Open your fuse panel panel to check if you have circuit breakers and fuses. Circuit breakers look like a row of levers or switches. Fuses are more traditional. They’re round, and screw into sockets much like tiny 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’ll be glad you did if your circuit ever goes out of control.
An electrician should be able to fix any electrical problems in your house. 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 Hodge Hill, Shard End, Washwood Heath, call Gigi Emergency Electrician today! 07782 805852
MCBs or Miniature Circuit Breakers are protective electromagnetic devices that act as a switch in 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.
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. 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. Faults can cause serious problems such as fire and explosion if they are not dealt with promptly. Additionally, faults that remain in an electrical system for too long can damage the system’s health. This can result in high energy losses, which in turn causes increased thermal stress.
Faults present a risk to the system. They must be addressed as soon as possible.
A protection device called MCB (miniature circuit breaker) that offers protection against overload and short-circuit is the MCB. It includes a bimetal & a solenoid coil which trips the MCB in case of Overload & Short Circuit respectively. Conforming to IEC 60898-1 MCB can be used for lower ratings starting at 0.5125A.
These security devices not only save your electrical gadgets or appliances, but also protect the wiring throughout the house. There is a serious reason for an MCB to trip and it should be treated accordingly.
On average an electrical fire or short has a distinct burning copper or metal smell to it. It is possible to smell rubber mixed with plastic. This is not a joke as it indicates that something is too full. For advice, turn off the main power and immediately call your electrician. 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 of all of the above. What it smells like will never leave you. It is an electrician’s worst nightmare.
There are many locations where electrical fires can be found. They can be anywhere from small to large. 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 of the reasons that an electrical burning odour may be detected in your home.
1. Overload- This is when too much current flows through a circuit at one time, leading to wires heating up and catching 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- This could be caused by water, ice, or someone tripping over your cord.
A dangerous combination of electricity and fire is the combination. Electric fires are very common in houses. Electrical fires can occur in older homes that have many extension cords or outlets.
Do not hesitate to call Gigi Emergency Electrician on 07782 805852 if you suspect that there is an electrical smell. It could 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. 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.
Call 105 to get updated information if you’re experiencing a power outage. It should also be possible for them to let you know when the power will be restored.
When the power is still on at your neighbors’ or the street lights are still on in your neighborhood, your fuses or switches may be defective.
If you suspect that something is wrong with one of your appliances, the fuse box, or the wiring, contact a qualified electrician.
Whenever you have frequent power outages, or if a tripped fuse cuts power to your entire house, your circuit breaker may be malfunctioning. 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. Your electrician can identify the root of the problem so it can be fixed.
Sometimes we don’t have the luxury of time to schedule an appointment for help, so trust your local electrician to help you when you need it.
