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. The RCD will trip if this happens and it will reset as it was designed. 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 crucial that moisture be detected in socket boxes early. 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 be the result of poorly maintained or incorrectly connected equipment such as older electrical appliances, such as washing machines and dryers, which can cause the power to surge. 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 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 trip could result from a malfunctioning component in your central heat. RCD trips often occur when the defective component switches on and off multiple times, leading to false alarms. If your home experiences frequent or extended RCD trips, it could cause permanent damage to its electrical equipment.

Ohhhhh! The fuse box tripped once more. The fuse box tripped again right in middle of the game. It can be annoying if your fuse panel keeps tripping despite not knowing why. It could indicate that your wiring or appliances are faulty. 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 in a home, your fuse box, or consumer unit as electricians refer to it, is normally located on the ground floor, under the stairs. Clear the area around the consumer unit so that it is easy to reach in an emergency. The unit will be higher up if you live in a flat.
A fusebox is essential to your safety. It’s like a gatekeeper between you, the mains electric supply, and any electrical currents entering your home.
These currents may prove fatally hazardous if there is an electrical fault or surge. To prevent this, the fuse box detects abnormal activity and cuts off any electricity flowing through the circuit. Without circuit breakers and fuse box, electrical fires, shocks and other types of accidents are all too common in modern homes.
You can see whether you have circuit breakers or fuses by opening your fuse box panel. Circuit breakers look like a series 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. Your future self will thank you if a circuit ever breaks.
A professional electrician will be required to repair any major electrical problem in the house. 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 Springfield WV10 0, Blakenhall, Fallings Park, Heath Town, New Cross, 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 the circuit whenever they sense the current passing over the circuit has crossed a certain limit or value. 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. In the event of short-circuits these devices can trip and cut off 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 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 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. The MCB is equipped with a bimetal and a solenoid coil that trip the MCB when there is Overload or Short Circuit. Complying with IEC 60898-1, MCB is used for the lower ratings from 0.5~125A.
They act as security devices and protect not only electrical appliances but the wiring in your entire house. There is a serious reason for an MCB to trip and it should be treated accordingly.
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 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’ll let you know the severity of the problem and whether you should 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 is a combination of all of the above. What it smells like will never leave you. It’s a nightmare for an electrician.
There are many locations where electrical fires can be found. They can be anywhere from small to large. 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 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 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 a wire and flows into another, it can cause a shortcircuit that can lead to a fire.
3. Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)- these breakers detect if an electric current is flowing into your ground and bring the power down before there is any damage done to your home (this also protects you from shock).
4. Faulty Wiring- This could be caused by water, ice, or someone tripping over your cord.
The dangerous combination of fire and electricity is known as “electricity”. 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.
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. It is best to turn all unnecessary devices off, since things that are still working when the power comes back could cause fires or electrical shocks.
You may have a power outage if your neighbors are without power or if the street lights are off.
In the event of a power outage, you can get any information you need by calling 105. The power company should also be able to tell you when the electricity will be restored.
It could be a fuse or switch issue if your neighbours still have power or the street lights are still on.
Fix any faults with your appliances, fuse box, or wiring by getting a qualified electrician.
When your home experiences intermittent power outages or a blown fuse cuts power to the entire building, your circuit breaker could be at fault. A circuit breaker is designed to cut power when it detects surges or other anomalies, but frequent outages may indicate that it is not working properly. A professional electrician can find the cause of the problem and fix it.
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.
