Questions and Answers
How long does it take replace a fuse board? - To change an average 8 way fuse board and carry out the testing it takes around 4 – 5 hours, but previous to any board change, an electrical installation condition report (EICR) needs to be carried out to remove any potential faults or anything unsafe which is already present. There is nothing worse than hearing that dreaded trip sound and wondering why!
What is an RCD? - A residual-current circuit breaker is an electrical safety device that disconnects the circuit in the event of a fault. It is to protect equipment and to reduce the risk of serious harm from an ongoing electric shock.
Can I move my fuse board? - The fuse board can be moved up to a maximum of 3m from the incoming main fuse. If the board needs to be further than that the meter tails will have to fused separately.
What is an AFDD? - An AFDD is a type of circuit breaker, which is constantly looking for loose connections and basically anything which causes electrical arcs. When an arc is detected the breaker trips and disconnects the affected circuit.
Does my fuse board need to be metal? - Under the 18th wiring regulations, consumer units within homes throughout the Uk need to be constructed out of a none combustible material.
What is surge protection? - A surge protection device is designed to protect you and the electrical accessories within your home from electrical spikes.
How does it work? - A surge protection device SPD either blocks incoming voltage spikes or it directs the over voltage back down to earth.
How do I know if my SPD has been activated? - There are indicator windows located on the front of the SPD, if these turn RED it means there’s been a surge and the SPD module needs to be changed.
Why is my fuse buzzing? - This can be due to a loose connection within the board and would need to be address ASAP as loose connections can lead to fires.
Who is responsible for what when it comes to the Electrical supply in my home? - If there are any issues with the main fuse the distribution operator should be contacted straight away. These issues include, burning smells, if it's hot or damaged. The main fuse is where the electrical supply enters your home. Then on to the meter, it belongs to your energy provider, this could be British gas, octopus' energy, or another provider. The fuse board and everything after is your responsibility (the homeowner) or your landlord. If there are any problems or you are thinking of having some electrical works done give us a call today.
