We had a look at the switch board and (out of three) and one of the circuit breakers was down. We could just see all balls flash up at once - very scary experience. Last night after we got home, we switched the lights on in the lounge and all bulbs blue along with all the other rooms' bulbs which were on the same circuit. We have had rat problems in the house (probably still ongoing, but with all internal holes sealed and no access to the only part of the building which can be their entrance, we cannot tell for sure), meaning that rats have been gnawing behind the plaster boards of walls and ceilings. I am a little concerned about last night's events. A short in the wiring is essentially 0 resistance, not high resistance, and blows the fuse.Ĭan i use a 30a fuse when the one that blew was 15?
Things that heat up like dryers and toasters have very low resistance, allowing a lot of current to flow. High resistance does not blow fuses, low resistance does. However, these new receptacles blew four fuses. We bought 15 amp receptacles which is what were there originally. We just bought a house and all we have done is replace the receptacles with new receptacles.
