lol, theres loads discontinued, but sometimes you can pay trough the teeth and get old bits, or you mightttt be lucky and find some one with something (ebay), but I would upgrade to a consumer unit housing miniture circuit breakers anyway
fuses can be just plain dangerous, and too much aggro, finding correct fuse, or using incorrect fuse and risking fire, inconvenience etc
Quote:Any idea why it should blow
yea, overload, short circuit, or fault's, but likely overload, unless you have a fault, any of these are possible
Quote:the exeption is industry where they are still used.
surely in cartridge type where they have high breaking capacities, domestic fuses are a bit useless in that department
