Default Old style fuse carrier colours and ratings

There is no longer an immersion heater. The fuse cover has a note of which
fused serviced it but is definitely out of date.
There is an electric shower which needs a dedicated 45A circuit and I
can't immediately identify the expected green fuse carrier.

I am persuading the home owner to power down and pull the fuses to look at
the backs.

I suspect that a blue fuse carrier (previously for the immersion heater)
may now have a higher power fuse in for the shower but I would like to
check to be sure.

The house was previously a rental and had an electrical safety check a few
years back. I am assuming that simple things like fuse ratings were
included.



I suspect that this is the rewireable fuse wire holders. They had two
dots on them.
