Tony Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 What idiot would bypass a fuse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMARTLY Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 A lot of people do, especially some years back. Fag paper round the fuse in a plug, mains wire across fuses on the board. Think this is why modern fuse boxes have the trip function - can't easily be bypassed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted November 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 Thinking about it my father used to wrap foil around blow fuse's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffers Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 You wouldn't believe some of the things people do. Luckily the newer ones will still trip internally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted November 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 Can anyone do this without registration? Over the years I've done some electrics, got it wrong and nearly killed myself "twice" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffers Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 Yes, you are allowed to work on your own electrics without being registered. It must comply with Part P of regulations but nothing will happen to you if it doesn't. You obviously can't issue your own certificate of compliance. You would be responsible if it could be proven you caused a fire or left it in a state that would be dangerous though. It should be made legal like gas. It's so easy to burn your house down. Luckily this one had the distribution board in the garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
