FAQs

What is a fused connection unit?

A fused connection unit (FCU) is a type of electrical accessory that provides a permanent connection for an appliance. It includes a built-in fuse to protect the appliance and the wiring from overcurrents.

What fuse rating should I use?

This unit is designed for a 13A fuse. Always ensure the fuse rating matches the appliance's power requirements and is appropriate for the circuit.

Do I need a special back box?

No, this unit fits into any standard UK wall back box with a depth between 25mm and 35mm.

Can I use this for a cooker or shower?

This unit is rated for 13A. High-power appliances like cookers or showers typically require dedicated higher-rated circuits and connection methods as specified by electrical regulations.

Is installation difficult?

Installation involves wiring and should only be performed by someone with a good understanding of electrical safety or by a qualified electrician.

What is the warranty period?

The SE HOME 13A Fused Ingot Connection Unit comes with a 10-year guarantee from the manufacturer.

Can I get this in other finishes?

Yes, this range is available in multiple finishes including Polished Chrome, Satin Chrome, Polished Brass, Matt Black, Black Nickel, Pearl Nickel, Stainless Steel & Georgian Cast Brass.

Troubleshooting

Unit not powering connected appliance.

Verify that the circuit breaker or fuse in the consumer unit is ON. Check that the fuse within the connection unit is correctly seated and is the correct rating (13A). Ensure all wiring connections are secure and correct.

Loose fitting on the wall.

Ensure the back box is securely fixed. Tighten the fixing screws holding the unit to the back box. Check that the back box is suitable for the wall type.

Flickering or intermittent power.

This often indicates a loose connection. Turn off power and re-check all wire terminals for tightness. Ensure the fuse is properly seated.
