Hi there...
When ever we use the vacuum cleaner upstairs,the fuse on the upstairs sockets trips out as soon as the vacuum cleaner is turned on.
I take it thats its a fair assumption that if the fuse inside the plug is not blowing then the initail surge is less than 13 amps..
I have noticed that the labeling on the fuses is incorrect and the wiring from the upstairs sockets is actually on the fuse labelled up damp course??
There are 3 wires going into this damp course fuse.(2 red,1 brown)
And the upstairs sockets fuse is not used.
I have tried switching to the correctly labelled fuse ,however the vacuum then tripped the rcd.
Damp course fuse is a B6
Upstairs sockets are the same as the downstairs and fuse rating is a B32
The vacuum doesnt trip out down stairs sockets.
Anyway what id like to know is what could be causing the tripping out?[/b]
