Â*Â*Â* That is as how I found it.

Â*Â*Â* TT installation with no RCD or ELCB.
Â*Â*Â* Is the brown one a replaceable wire fuse or a cartridge fuse?


Â* Blue one? ie blue dots on it?
Â* That's right. I've forgotten the colour code.

White = 5A, Blue = 15A, Red = 30A, and the less common Yellow = 20A, and
Green = 45A

The last fusebox I remember as a child had ceramic fuseholders and
Woolworth's
fuse wire was 5A, 15A and 30A as I remember.Â* I've probably got some
somewhere.


And of course open to abuse as you can put 30A fuse wire in a 5A holder.

Although credit to wylex, they did at least make it impossible to plug a
30A fuse carrier into a base intended to accept a lower rated fuse. So
that prevents abuse by those not versed in the art of the screwdriver!
