Title: Tripped Switch - Crabtree
Post by help123 on Aug 22^nd, 2011, 8:27am

Hi,

I have a crabtree consumer unit. One of the switches has tripped leaving me without the lights on one of the circuits. I've tried just flicking the switch back to the on position but the lights still don't come on. Any ideas? Has the fuse blown?

In previous places, its been simple to pull out the relevant switch and replace a fuse if needed - on this crabtree unit, the switches don't seem to pull out. Are there fuses there to be changed or does it work in a different way?

Any advice appreciated!
Thanks

Turn all the lights off first then try resetting the breaker.
