An RCD can respond to sudden surges in electric current use or leakage current caused by freezer or refrigerator contents.
An appliance with poor connections can sometimes cause an electrical surge. If this happens, then the RCD will trip and restart as it is supposed to. Soon after, the electricity supply should resume normal.
Moisture in outside electrical boxes and sockets can cause a trip by the RCD. It is vital that you detect moisture in your socket box early on. 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. 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.
These trips can occur when there is an unexpected spike in electricity. This can cause damage or injury. 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.
RCD trips could be caused by a faulty component of your central heating. RCD trips may be triggered when the faulty heating component turns on and then off repeatedly. 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! It happened again. Right in the middle of the game? If your fuse box keeps tripping even though you’re not sure why, it can be very frustrating. It is an indicator that something in your home might be defective. You could reset it each time it trips. Or, you can find the culprit causing the problem and fix it once and for all.
If you live on a ground floor, your fuse box (or consumer device, as electricians call them) is located underneath the stairs. Clear the area around the consumer unit so that it is easy to reach 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. If modern homes didn’t have circuit breakers and fuse boxes, electrical fires and electric shocks would be all too common.
When you open your fuse box panel, you’ll be able to see if you have fuses or circuit breakers. Circuit breakers appear like a row of switches or levers. Fuses are less modern. They’re round and fit into sockets like little lightbulbs.
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.
A professional electrician will be required to repair any major electrical problem in the house. To avoid any danger of an electrical current, switch off and unplug anything you need to be working on. If you have fuse box problems in Priory, Summer Hill, Coseley, Dudley, call Gigi Emergency Electrician today! 07782 805852
Miniature Circuit Breakers, also known as MCBs, are protective electromagnetic devices that act like a switch 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.
MCBs are also known as time delay tripping devices which trip and shut down the system whenever there is an overcurrent flowing for a longer period of time and there is a danger to the entire circuit. These devices can also trip and shut down the power supply in short-circuits. This happens within 2.5 milliseconds.
Fault is an error or malfunction in an electrical system. If not addressed promptly, a fault can lead to an extremely dangerous situation like explosion and fire.
Faults are dangerous and must be removed as soon possible.
The Miniature Circuit Breaker, also known as MCB, is a protection device that provides protection against overload and short circuit. 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.
They can be used to protect your home’s wiring, as well as the electrical appliances. An MCB trip should not be taken lightly.
A short or electrical fire will usually have a strong metallic or copper smell. It is possible to smell rubber mixed with plastic. This is no laughing matter as it means something has been overloaded. 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 is caused by an item you have plugged in, and not your system.
It’s not easy to describe how it smells. It is a combination of all of the above. You will never forget what it smells like. It’s a nightmare for an electrician.
Electrical fires can range from small to large and can happen in many different places throughout your home. 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 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.
These are just a few reasons why you might notice an electrical burning scent in your house.
1. Overload is when too many currents are flowing through a circuit simultaneously. This causes the wires to heat up, and can cause them to 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 electric current is flowing into the ground and bring it down before damage occurs.
4. Faulty wiring can be caused either by water, ice or someone tripping over your wire and creating a short-circuit that causes fire.
Electricity and fire are a dangerous combination. Electrical fires are very common in homes. Electrical fires can occur in older homes that have many extension cords or outlets.
If you detect a fishy smell, don’t hesitate calling Gigi Emergency Electrician or 07782 805852 as it could be dangerous.
Check your appliances that use heat and turn them off and clear debris from them when the power is out. If possible, turn off everything if you do not need it, as what was switched on will start working again when the power is restored, potentially leading to a fire or electric shock.
If you notice that your neighbours lack power and streetlights are out, this could be an indication of a power outage in the area.
In the event of a power outage, you can get any information you need by calling 105. If they are able to tell you when the power will be restored, they should let you know.
It is possible that your switches or fuses are faulty if your neighbors have power or street lights are still on.
Hire a qualified electrician if you think there is a problem with one of your appliances, your fuse box, or your wiring.
Whenever power outages occur frequently in your home or a fuse trips, your circuit breaker may need to be replaced. In spite of its design to cut power when surges or anomalies are detected, frequent outages could indicate that the breaker is faulty. It is the electrician’s job to find the root of the problem and fix it.
We don’t always have advance notice and the luxury of scheduling an appointment for help, but we can always trust our local emergency electrician.
