Changing a fuse

aj9648

Hi

Just moved into a new place and found that heaters are not working - think it is due to fuse blown in circuit board....

Seems like an easy job but I cant get the fuse (fuse holder) out of the board..

I have one of these http://www.memonline.com/mem2.html see 2nd pic down under features and benefits. I thought I could pull it out but I cant and there is a big sign saying do not remove the cover so unwilling to do that

Any sparkys in here......

There is no Fuse these are called MCCBs there like a Mini switch. just switch them on if there if a fault with the circuit they will not stay on then call an electrician

if its a 32a just unplug everything & turn all fuse spurs off...if its 6a then turn all lights off,,,then try to reset mcb....well to save me going through everything,,what exactly that wont reset.....

The left side of the consumer unit on the picture has Cartridge fuses (HRC Fuse Modules) , they pull straight out.

You may have an RCD, these ones you have to switch down and then back up to reset.

Baldelectrrician you are right, but I woud assume that is a board as new as this was installed in the house it would have MCCBs in it. Very few would have installed HRC breakers.
