Can anyone explain some lighting problems im having.
About a week ago all the lights started flickering when turned on (on one of the upstairs circuits) and then 5 days later they all died on that circuit. When i checked the fuse box, the live wire insulation had melted just above the fuse, the fuse was still switched on and the RCD was still on?. There should be 6 lights in total on this circuit and a fan in the bathroom. 4 of the lights have 60W bulbs and 2 have 3x50W bulbs = 540W, i dont think this should overload the circuit?.
Bearing in mind that on the other upstairs circuit some of the lights stay on even when their fuse is switched of!, although they are all still working at present . In addition the 32 amp fuses also all have 2 live wires in them, is this OK as never seen it before in a fusebox?.
