How does a fuse work.
Here we ll talk you through how to work out why your electric keeps tripping and how to repair a tripped fuse.
You have to do it one by one.
When an appliance or light fixture suddenly goes dead it is very likely that a circuit breaker has tripped and interrupted the power flowing to the electrical circuit.
First disconnect or turn off everything on the circuit then turn on.
In case it s an le fault try switching off all the mcb s then reset the switch that has tripped.
Locating the root of the problem is largely a process of elimination and something you can do yourself.
The fix is to reset the breaker lever to the on position or replace the blown fuse.
If it stays on plug the appliances back in one by one until it trips again and service or discard the appliance that makes it trip.
Older ones have fuse holders and when a fuse is blown it must be replaced or rewired.
