Updating my 1985 Fusebox

[liamj2003]

Hi all,

I have included a photo of my fuse box, as Im unsure of the type (name), Question is:

Im aware there is no protection, with as it stands now, I understand I can just break away the front of the fuse casing to house larger fuses but with switches (if this right) and what are these switches called (micro RCDS or something)

Currently I run all my computer, TV etc from a surge protector, but I have recently installed additional sockets, including one that sits mid level directly behind my flatscreen tv on wall (power socket for TV) and obvoiusly this is no longer surge protected so I guess I need to update my fusebox so some sort of surge protection is in place. (is that right)

Any suggestions/help is greatly appreciated!

Many Thanks

Liam

They do but most you won't get a 32a for love nor money Most wholesalers have had them on back order since June last year!!!!

That must be because I must have most of them in my shed
I didn't know they are scarce, I have loads of them

Sorry for delay yes it is surface mounted, not recessed,
So by the sounds of it my TV wont be protected to the same level as it was when it used to be plugged into the surge protector, Ill eventually update the unit to a modern regular one, but cant afford to be too picky about "over the top" electrical protection.

Many thanks for all your answers..
