An FCU is a safety device that connects an appliance to the mains electricity supply. It contains a fuse which will blow (melt) if the appliance draws too much current due to a fault, thus protecting the appliance and the wiring.
No, due to electrical safety regulations, this unit must be installed by a qualified electrician. Incorrect installation can be dangerous.
This unit is designed for a standard 13A fuse, which is typically supplied with the unit or easily available. Always ensure the correct amperage is used.
Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch or discolor the finish. Always ensure the power is off before cleaning.
A fused spur is hard-wired directly to an appliance, whereas a socket outlet allows you to plug and unplug appliances using a mains lead.
This unit is designed for indoor use and is not weatherproof. It should be installed in a dry location away from moisture.
The dimensions are 146mm (height) x 86mm (width) x 2.4mm (depth).
Ensure the main power is on, the appliance is correctly wired, and the fuse in the unit is the correct rating (13A) and intact. Check the switch position.
This indicates an electrical fault or overload in the appliance or wiring. Immediately disconnect power and consult a qualified electrician to diagnose and repair the issue.
If the switch feels abnormally stiff or loose, cease use and have a qualified electrician inspect the unit for potential internal damage or loose connections.
