yes the whole house was rewired 3 years ago when the extension was built. all the circuits are on RCBO. what does this mean?

thanks for your contribution eric no northing just the once I mentioned.

the house has been recently extended and all wiring including the main house are brand new. furthermore, all the circuits are connected to RCBO. Hence, I believe they would trip before the main 60A fuse. And that what confused me last night. non of the breakers in my CU was down, yet there is no...

I think this one is as you described "just fail" and i do hope it does not happened again. it was very scary last night to immerse in darkness without knowing what is going on, particularly if whole neighbourhood are lit. However the DNO were excellent, they came out straight a way.

the 60amp Supplier main Fuse blow up last night. called the local national grid, an engineer came around and replace it with 63A. I was rather surprised as to why this had happened. I asked the engineer who said it was overload. we only have the washing Machin, couple of laptops, the kettle...

thank will do, do you know the name of then engine on those mowers. I found plenty pull recoil starter on ebay but they are classified by engine name or number not by machine name.

the two pieces of metal that spring out when you the pull recoil starter is pulled to start the mower are damaged. does any one one know where to get these. Or the whole pull recoil starter?

any potential problem should show up in the EICR. I believe the electrician will check every connection as I have seen him did in the past and produce the report. the comfort I take from this weekend exercise is that every circuit in the house is RCD protect which is much safer then before!.

My strategy to tackle this problem was to use the knowledge I gain for the contributions that were posted here to do as much as I can and will call the professionals whenever I get stuck. Hence, I worked in the house all this weekend, I inspected all the wires of the lighting circuits of the...

this is what I asked the electrician to do. he Came around and said " the installation as is will fail" we need to replace the CU and issue what he issued. He did exactly with my other HMO and I shared it with the local authority and no question was asked. I have another certificate which...

sorry I do not know what you mean. that the only certificate provided by the electrician when he installed it.
