[QUOTE="Andy™, post: 555723, member: 2012"] eddy currents. basically how transformers work. same thing happening to the metal consumer unit. it can cause the steel to heat up. in reality, for domestic use, its not really an issue. as for changing MCB, cables must be suitably protected. swapping the MCB instead of finding the fault is incompetance. can be done if the fault is removed, like a job the other day. faulty cable, disconnected it and made it into 2 radials until cable can be replaced break in the ring is probably going to be at a socket, shouldn't be hard to find [/QUOTE]
