a 30amp fuse wire has blown and the cartridge that holds the wire has snapped in two due to my own carelessness. I have bought new fuse wire but I need a new cartridge. Where can I buy the cartridge from? Please help

probably the same place as you got the fuse wire
 
if its a wylex standard then its still pretty easy to get the carriers any decent wholesaler will do them and even B&Q have the plug mcbs that can be used to replace them. tlc also do all three types (rewirable cartridge and mcb).

if its not a wylex standard then it could be much harder to get a replacement

do you have a photo of your CU and the carrier?
 
Its the same cartridge that is on this site, black with the two red dots. The wholesaler that I bought the wire from said they didn't have them, I think I 'll try B&Q.

B&Q have the mcb replacements for those but not the rewirable or cartridge carriers.
 
That's the big advantage of fitting a Wylex traditional style board - if you are in an upstairs flat only - their traditional slot in MCB Breakers have remained compatible for some twenty five years according to Wylex - unlike their modern din-rail ones, which change in design and fitting every few years.

Then they're 5h1t. Wholesalers not carrying stock like that? :LOL: :LOL:
