If a circuit is overloaded or an appliance develops a fault, an MCB (a miniature circuit

breaker) in the electricity consumer control unit protecting the circuit will switch OFF

automatically; this is to help prevent serious accidents, which may result in damage and

injury. Inside the consumer control unit are labels identifying which switch (known as a

miniature circuit breaker or MCB) covers which parts of your homes’ electricity supply.

If the reason for the MCB going to the OFF position is not clear, then put the MCB switch

back to its original ON position. If it will not stay on then complete the following:

1. Switch OFF and unplug any appliances on that particular circuit. By attempting to

return the MCB switch to the ON position after removing each appliance it is

possible to identify the faulty appliance.

As each appliance is disconnected/unplugged try to reinstate the MCB on the circuit.

If there is a faulty appliance it will trip OFF each time until the faulty appliance is

disconnected. At this point the MCB will remain ON. DANGER - DO NOT

ATTEMPT TO REUSE A FAULTY APPLIANCE, ARRANGE FOR ITS

REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT.

3. If the MCB still fails to remain in the ON position a fault may exist in the electrical

circuit itself and you should inform the maintenance department immediately.

DANGER - DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DISMANTLE OR TAMPER WITH THE

CONSUMER CONTROL UNIT

In the event that the power supply to the apartment fails and cannot be restored from the

consumer unit, please check the trouble shooting guide on the next page before contacting

the managing agent.

In addition to the usual 13am

p electrical

sockets, there are 5amp sockets installed in

the lounge and bedrooms. These are

primarily used for lamps and once plugged

in to these wall sockets, using their round

pin plug function can be controlled via the

wall switches.
