What is a Blown Fuse?

An electrical fuse in the switchboard of your home is a safety device to protect against overloaded circuits when too many appliances are used at the same time.

Another more serious fault occurs when a live wire touches another live wire or metallic part of an appliance. This causes a short circuit and may result in an electrocution injury, or damage to your home from fire.

Electrical fuses to protect against these occurrences may be found in many different forms, ranging from a simple porcelain “plug-in” fuse, to more robust Residual Current Detectors otherwise known as RCD’s. These devices allow current to flow while everything is working normally. When a fault occurs, the flow of current is stopped until further action is taken.

A porcelain “plug-in” fuse, a low level protection device, comprises a very thin fuse wire connected between two terminals.

When an overload or short circuit fault occurs in an appliance or wiring circuit, enough heat is generated in the fuse wire to burn it through, preventing current flow until the fault is resolved and the fuse wire replaced

However, when a fault occurs, a plug-in fuse is slow to react taking time for the wire to burn through before protection is provided.In addition, most appliances operate at relatively high current flows, consequently the correct grade of fuse wire must be used.

Circuit breakers including many varieties of RCD’s are very rapid acting and much safer devices, providing greater protection for your family and your property. Being much more sensitive to changes in current flow caused by faulty circuits or appliances, such devices are able to react in milliseconds, much quicker than “plug-in” fuses and therefore provide greater protection.

Why did your Fuse Blow?

The main reason for a blown fuse is usually overloading a particular circuit when many appliances are operated at the same time, often on a “power board” or a multiple outlet adaptor on a single wall power point.

Another reason maybe if an appliance or power point outlet is subjected to moisture or water causing a short circuit. In this case, always turn off the power point and disconnect the appliance from the wall plug. If the fuse continues to “blow” or the circuit breaker needs to be reset again, call an Alliance Climate Control technician and request an emergency call out visit. Common causes of “blown fuses” or tripped circuit breakers are

Too many appliances used at the same time while connected to a single power outlet.
A fault in any appliance such as broken or exposed wires.
A broken or cracked housing in a wall or light switch, frequently a crackling sound is easily heard.
Water allowed to enter a wall mounted power point or perhaps dripping onto bare wires behind the wall.

We are so thrilled with the work completed on our 3 aircon units this week. All three were not working well and we had them serviced (the top tier package) and now they are working so well, like brand new! Emre who came and did the quote and the work was that really nice. He was quiet and respectful and spent nearly the full day here.

Husam S.

Technicians attended to the job and diagnosed the problem with the air conditioner, ordered the faulty part and installed and tested it. Perfect job

Ron W.

Professional, hatd working, neat, friendly Thanks

Nicolas M.

Found these guys on Google and chose them because they are close to us. Had inspection with technician the next day I contacted them, followed by full install 4 days later. Guys were super nice, efficient and cleaned after themselves. 5 stars.

Doris T.

Problem was identified with photos showing the fault. Options were given as to how to resolve problem. The repairman, Gabriel, did a fantastic job and was thorough in going through making sure that problem was resolved before leaving. Great job!

Dominik S.

We had a fairly complex job that involved multiple units across a two story house. Plenty of masonry tunnelling and tubing.

BJ and Ahmad came when they said they would, did the work and finished as expected.

The result is excellent. They did a fantastic job of making it all blend in that you’d hardly know the sheer amount of work they actually did over three days.

Also did a stellar job of cleaning up at he end of each day.

The house looks cleaner than when they started!

Would definitely recommend Alliance to anyone looking at getting AC.

Compliments to the team from Alliance for the work they did replacing our aircon system recently.

Andres from Alliance was amazing! He completed a thorough annual maintenance of our aircon and took the time to explain what he’d done. And sometimes it’s the little things that count. Like how Andres was on time , and gave me a 30-minute heads up of his arrival time. I was so impressed with the service that I’ve already signed up for next maintenance plan!

How to prevent Blown Fuses

Blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers are usually caused by overloading a circuit with too many appliances and can often be seen as heat discolouration of the power point or power board. In such cases, relocate some appliances to a different circuit or reduce which appliances are used at the same time.

In some cases, a broken or damaged wired entering an appliance will be seen to spark or “blacken” the area around the faulty wire entry when they are used. If this occurs, immediately turn off the power point and disconnect the appliance, making sure not to reconnect it until it has been checked by a professional and repaired. Alliance Climate Control technicians are available to visit your home to assess any appliance causing you concern. Your safety is our responsibility.

Water and electrical power should never be combined and any chance of moisture entering an electrical power outlet should be avoided. All power points in wet areas such as the bathroom or kitchen should be positioned well away from surfaces where water might gather, also any moisture leaking from a pipe behind a wall could have catastrophic effect if dripping onto a power point. This is usually a rare circumstance but it is important to seek professional advice should this occur.

Alliance Climate Control technicians are here to help and on call 24/7. They operate in radio controlled vans and can be at your Sydney address in a short time. Call them anytime.
