Emergency Electrician Near Me – West Midlands
We are fully trained and experienced in diagnosing and rectifying wiring faults and power loss problems that you’re experiencing.
Flickering lights, sockets that work and then stop, a burn mark, or the smell of burning could be the first signs that something is seriously wrong. Overheated and melted cables and accessories are a very real safety concern that should not be ignored. It is frequently the neutral conductor that has melted and overheated, most likely due to improper installation when it was originally connected.
Why choose us?
Our engineers hold a wide range of industry recognised qualifications to include the City & Guilds BS 7671 (18th edition) plus the City & Guilds 2391-52 qualification for the initial and periodic inspection and testing of electrical installations.
As standard each electrician holds £5 million in liability insurance.
About RCD Tripping
Throughout the course of our job, we address numerous fuse box and circuit board tripping issues. One of the commonest faults or problems would be a tripping “residual current device”. A residual current device is also known as an RCD, RCCB, or occasionally an RCBO (an RCD combined with a miniature circuit breaker).
When an RCD trips, it is generally because the device has detected a fault in your wiring system that has resulted in a current imbalance between the live and neutral conductors. This is an essential safety device that detects that some current is now flowing to earth, thus causing the RCD to trip incredibly fast. If resetting the device causes the RCD to trip again, the stray current needs to be investigated and the problem resolved before the circuit can be re-energised. If the RCD trips intermittently, this could be due to poor circuit design, where the combined use of appliances, computer equipment, etc. exceeds the acceptable standards.
Quite often, the device does not trip at all, even when the small test button is pressed (it is recommended that the test button be pressed every six months to ensure mechanical operation). A faulty residual current device or one that doesn’t trip when tested definitely requires further investigation. Looking deeper into the problem, one could find that the RCD has been operated frequently past its rated current (again through poor circuit design).
