Electrical Repair
When the circuit in your home quits working, and you suspect that it is likely a blown fuse, you can test that theory by using a multi-meter for testing fuses. By setting the selector switch to ohms and setting it on a lower range, you can test the resistance between the two points of the fuse. This will measure the resistance of the fuse link, if intact. When working with anything electrical, shut the power off to the device that you’ll be working on and check with a tester to make sure it is not live.
Fuses come in different styles, cartridge, and screw-in. The Ferrule-type cartridge fuse is generally used for the main feeder and range protection. Normally, range feeds will have 50-amp fuses, and the main fuses are generally 60 amps, being more common in older homes. Plug fuses screw in and come in 15, 20, and 30-amp ratings. These fuses supply the branch circuits in your home to run lights, outlets, and appliances.
Professional electricians are among the busiest of the building trade pros, for the simple reason that most homeowners are slightly nervous about electricity and would rather call a pro than try to tackle such work themselves. And generally speaking, this is a good investment, since a qualified electrician will do the job right, and probably a lot faster than you can. But to avoid unpleasant surprises, it’s important to know something about the costs of professional help.
