Hi,
I have an old consumer unit-complete with pot fuses and requisite fuse wires within-which was probably last updated when our house was re-wired in the 70’s.
I’m only guessing the approximate date for the re-wire as it was before we moved in over 40 years ago and no documentation was available when we moved in-health and safety not being much of a ‘thing’ back then! .
The box has a separate breaker which used to ‘trip’ occasionally but has now stopped ,so blowing a fuse requiring the wire to be replaced, although if I throw the switch myself it cuts the electricity to the house.
Has anyone else had a similar problem?
Thanks in advance.
