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.

ACC were fantastic - Had a broken mainboard in my dankin unit. Need parts which would take up to a week. They offered me a portable aircon to help with my sick kids temp issues and it kept us happy until the part arrived. The work was done quickly and easily and the aircon after a service and new mainboard is better then ever.... Insanely good service and will be 100% keeping these guys on speed dial for all my aircon needs at my investment and home property ongoing .

Dealing with Alliance was a smooth experience. With my ducted air conditioning system failing and summer approaching, I anticipated getting quotes and scheduling installation would take a long time.However, just a couple of days after my initial quote request, a representative came over and explained my options, following up the lot clearly via email.Once we decided on the best option for our needs and made the call, the installers arrived within a week.Installers were friendly and professional, double-checking everything before starting the installation and cleaning up thoroughly afterward.We are delighted with the service provided, and our home is now ready for summer! I strongly recommend their services! 👌Thank you Alliance!

Alliance client control team installed new split air conditioner in my house today and it is great experience. B.J., Christian, Ivan are the best and awesome engineers ever and friendly guys, they did excellent and quality job and good customer service (they cleaned up everything even the outdoor gutter after work), so I very appreciate their service today. Also thanks very much to Alex, Chris and Keely! They are the customer service team members who did quotation, job booking and payment. Overall, definitely I will rate 200% satisfaction of my journey with ‘Alliance’ team. Regard, Joel Yang

Very professional and punctual. Great job overall

Eric N.

Thank you once again to the team at Alliance Climate Control. This was one of the smoothest home renovation projects I've experienced.My previous air conditioner was a complete nightmare after installation—I bought it from a certain large electronics store that handed off the job to unreliable third-party contractors. Within months, it started leaking from the base and couldn’t drain properly, it was angled weirdly. It became one of the most stressful events for me, especially during summer when we relied on the air conditioning. The constant repairs and cleaning added up quickly in both time and costs.When I finally surrendered and started to do my research i came across Alliance Climate Control. They not only promised to fix the issue but also ensure me they will install a new air conditioner the right way (they even stated this on their website - where they will make sure you are satisfied will their work before they finish). So when the team arrive, Kevin and Dragan took on a challenging job—my old unit was installed in an awkward position, with improper drainage and poorly done piping within the walls. But they were undeterred. They assessed the setup carefully, discussing how to best resolve the issues rather than just doing a quick install and leaving.Their attention to detail was impressive, and they left my place spotless after the job, ensuring I wouldn’t have to clean up after them. safe to say - my room is now cool and ready for the summer heat!The takeaway here: don't go with just any third-party installer. Air conditioning installations are complex, and cutting corners can cost you more in the long run. Alliance Climate Control's high ratings speak for themselves—they know what they’re doing.Thanks again, Kevin and Dragan—I truly appreciate all your help!

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.
