Last night my electrics tripped (lights). On resetting the fuse only 3

half fuse? why have only half gone off?do transformers divive into
halves-and do they break?. Problem is they are the type that are set
into the ceiling and it will be a pain to get at the transformer!. any
help or advice appreciated


Are you sure you don't have more than one transformer ? They're not rated
all that highly due to limitations on the current load. Three of your bulbs
pull 5A, the same as most entire mains-fed circuits.
