An RCD can respond to sudden surges in electric current use or leakage current caused by freezer or refrigerator contents.
A poor connection can occasionally cause a surge 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 from outside electrical boxes or sockets can cause the RCD to trip. It is crucial to find moisture in your socket box quickly. 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. Motors and pumps are more likely to cause RCD trips if there is an association between the frequency/time of surges, and the use of the appliance.
This happens when there is a sudden surge in electricity. It can cause severe injury or property damage. These spikes can occur due to lightning strikes, electric faults, power tools and appliances with pumps or motors.
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. Permanent damage could be caused to electrical equipment if your home suffers frequent or prolonged RCD trips due to a faulty component.

Ohhhhh! It happened again. It happened right in the middle of the match. If your fuse box keeps tripping even though you’re not sure why, it can be very frustrating. 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.
If you live in an apartment, the fuse box (or the consumer unit, as electricians call) is typically located on the ground level, below the stairs. To make sure you have easy access to the switches in an emergency, keep the area close to your consumer unit. If you live in an apartment, the unit is typically higher up on a wall of your hallway.
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. Fuse boxes and circuit breakers are essential in modern homes. Electrical fires, electrocutions and other unfortunate events would not occur as often.
When you open your fuse box panel, you’ll be able to see if you have fuses or circuit breakers. Circuit breakers look similar to a row if switches or levers. Fuses are a bit more modern. They are round and screw into sockets in the same way as little 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. If a circuit ever fails, your future self will be grateful.
A professional electrician must be called in if there is a major electrical problem. 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 Amblecote, Wollaston, Pedmore, 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.
The condition of an electrical system that is characterized by “fault” refers to any situation that results from the malfunctioning or incorrect use of electricity. 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.
MCB or Miniature Circuit Breaker is a protection device which offers protection against overload & short circuit. The MCB is equipped with a bimetal and a solenoid coil that trip the MCB when there is Overload or Short Circuit. Conforming with IEC 60898-1 MCB is used to lower ratings from 0.5125A.
These security devices not only save your electrical gadgets or appliances, but also protect the wiring throughout the house. An MCB trip is a sign of serious trouble and should be treated immediately.
On average an electrical fire or short has a distinct burning copper or metal smell to it. There may be a mixture of rubber and plastic that you can smell. This is not something to laugh at as it could indicate that your main power supply has been overload. Your main power should be turned off immediately. Call your electrician to get advice. They will inform you of the severity of the problem, and advise you if it is time to call the fire department.
Sometimes the electrical smell can be due to an electrical device you have plugged-in and not the system electrical itself.
Although it is difficult to describe what it actually smells like. It is a combination of all of the above. Once you smell it you will never forget it. It can be an electricians’ worst nightmare.
Electrical fires can range from small to large and can happen in many different places throughout your home. The wiring that feeds power through outlets, switches, plugs, lights, TVs and other devices is made up of both copper and metal wires which give off a distinctive smell when they are damaged by heat or overloading of electricity (this includes damaged insulation).
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- 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 – This is when electricity becomes stuck in one wire. It flows into another wire. This can lead to short circuits that can ignite.
3. Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). These breakers detect if electric current is flowing into the ground and bring it down before damage occurs.
4. Faulty Wiring- This could be caused by water, ice, or someone tripping over your cord.
Combining electricity and fire can be dangerous. Home electrical fires are quite common. Electrical fires may occur when older homes have too many outlets or extension cables.
Should you notice a fishy or toxic electrical smell, please don’t hesitate in calling Gigi Emergency Electrician 07782 805852.
Check your appliances that use heat and turn them off and clear debris from them when the power is out. When power is restored, everything that is left on will start working again, which could cause a fire or electric shock. If possible, turn off all the unnecessary items.
You may be suffering from a power outage if your neighbours’ lights do not work or your streetlights are out.
Get the latest information on a power outage by calling 105. You should also be able to find out when the power will be restored.
Your fuses or switches may be malfunctioning if your neighbors still have power and the street lights are on.
Hire a qualified electrician if you think there is a problem with one of your appliances, your fuse box, or your 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. 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.
