Went to turn the kitchen light on last night.
There was an almighty bang from the fuse box (old-fashioned type which uses fuse wire, 1970s vintage). All lighting circuits were knocked out. Other electrical circuits OK.
Visual inspection of the white 5A fuse -- the fuse wire does not appear to be broken.
Question: Should the fuse wire be severed in two when it "blows". Also, the fuse holder does not appear to be seated correctly in the consumer unit -- could a fuse blow cause the fuse holder to physically move?
Thanks
Mike
