Why is the largest rated fuse furthest from the main switch? - perhaps that's whats contributing to the problems.

Probably didn't help things but the busbar looked relativly undamaged with most of the burning being arount the top half of the fuse.

Its just all wrong.

I got called to it at 6.30 tonight :evil:
