If I was Sir Tigger's wife/partner though I would still take advantage of the situation and push for a nice, new, up to date, fridge freezer! :D :D

Typical response from a woman!  ::)

Always looking for an opportunity to go shopping!  :-X  ;D

Too true!! :D :D :y

is there not still such a thing as a motor fuse? ie it allows a shed load of amps for the initial start up of the motor but will blow if the motor starts to pull a high current in use

most big motors have start capacitors ,or starter relays etc ,HRC fuse links are outdated and used on domestic portable appliances/ stuff

fuses will take double the rating for so long before blowing ,some will happily glow away for half an hour before calling time

I could find a informative video if anyone is interested  ;D

I suspect many OOFers still have wylex rewirable fuses in t'lectric cupboard  :-X

Nahh, you just stick a handy screwdriver/knife/fork between the prongs and shove it in, then worry about fixing it properly the next morning. :y

Fixed that for you  ;)

personally ,I feel safer with my MK 21 way multi RCD ,RCBO, MCB board looking after such matters , electric is expensive, don't like the idea of it leaking all over the place  :P

Plugged our new fridge in and switched it on...

Ten minutes later, a loud pop and everything went off...

Turns out the dog had taken a liking to the plug ::)

She had damaged enough of the insulation that when she went back for a second go, she pinched the live and neutral together :o

Fortunately no harm done :)
