My elderly mother's house still has re-wireable fuses. Nothing wrong with that, but one of the lighting 5A circuit fuses went the other day, fortunat ely while I was there.
It was a melt type failure - ie just an aging piece of fuse wire - but it d id make me wonder about the ease anyone else would have in sorting this out for her in comparison to just being able to flip an MCB back on.
Unfortunately the electrics is complicated by it being a three phase supply which my father split between various sections of the house in three 3 way fuse boxes. There is inadequate height to fit a 9/10 way CU without moving the meter which in turn might land us with Scottish Power looking for mone y and possibly a new incomer, etc.
So a plug-in MCB is attractive but can you still get them ?
Thanks Rob
