Hello everyone,
This is my first post in the forum. I have mostly been reading as a guest in the past to gather information on various topics. Now, I’m hoping to get some feedback because I’m really unsure.
We moved into our new end-of-terrace house near Singen (Htw) at the end of February and are mostly satisfied. However, I’m concerned about the electrical installation:
In our electrical panel, we have three fuses, and I have had to replace one of them several times (two were 10 A fuses, which were replaced by 16 A fuses, and one was a 16 A fuse). This past weekend, for the first time, a 16 A fuse blew, so nothing worked anymore. Unfortunately, I don’t know when it happened because we only noticed it in the morning while showering—no hot water, since the heat pump had no power.
I then looked into the distribution box and removed the cover behind the fuses. You can see the result in the attachment.
What do you think? Is this common or is it poor workmanship? I have no knowledge of electrical work, and the local electrician only said the measurements are all good and that everything else is just cosmetic... is he right?
Thanks in advance for your feedback, I hope you can help me a bit.
Best regards,
SimKN

Well, catastrophic is something else, but I wouldn’t have expected this kind of "appearance" in a new build.
Unfortunately, I’m not an expert and don’t think your problems depend on the appearance, but if the same quality level applies to the rest... I’m not sure.

Knallkörper23 Apr 2018 14:33I would ask to receive the measurement reports if you don’t already have them. Then have the measurements checked.
Measurement reports are quick to complete. It’s even possible without a measuring device.
