Ah, Roger! There was never a cover over the fuse and it's right next to entrance into kitchen. Hence why I said what I said.

Blimey!! Has my Dad just walked in?!

No i mean the main cover that covers all of the guts, this burning almost certainly started at one of the terminals.

Oh and thanks... Thats all what I basically wanted to know. Thanks High Tower!

Ah. Sense is in the making. Do you think sizzling due to underated cable or lack of insulation discoverd inside pullcord... or just old, tired cable. House was built in T'70's.

undersized cable
Oversized Fuse
Loose terminations
Over expanded terminal jaws

Could be any of the above, hence i said change both of the boards

conversation i had with a builder today went something like this...............



you can't put that shower in the bathroom.

why not?

because it's 10.8kw and your cable's only 6 mill' squared.

so what?

so you need a bigger cable or a smaller shower.

why?

because the shower you've got has a FLC of over 45A, and your cable is only rated at 38A.

it'll be alright.

no it won't.

'course it will.

well, why did you ask me then?

because i wanted your advice.

so why are you arguing with me then?

i'm not, you're just wrong. everyone knows a shower's wired in 6mm cable.

see you later.
