So just now I was adding an extra light over my day bed it's a vintage 60 watt bulb looks like an old radio valve it even has the little glass pip on top. Anyhow as I was wiring it up two whiskas of wire touched there was barely any sound but it popped the 5 amp fuse in the plug adaptor and tripped 16 amp MCB how is this even possible even under partial short circuit conditions surely a 5 amp fuse should clear before a 16 amp MCB?
I have seen recently a sparks drilling a hole in trunking hit a cable inside and blow the MCB on the board and the MCCB back at the main panel. He also needed a new drill bit.
Please allow me to rephrase that.
I stood there with my hands in my pockets watching a sparks drill through a live cable. ?
