Overload !

Uploaded by RODALCO2007 on Jul 17, 2011
This could happen when a wrong value fuse is inserted in a fuseboard.
In this case I used a standard appliance lead ( ex coffee machine ) rated at 7.5 Amps, 3/4 mm² on a 10 Amp socket.
Current passed through the lead was around 63 Amps which is a commonly used Amperage of a mains fuse in New Zealand.
Within a short period the lead overheats, emits toxic smoke and starts to burn.
I made this video to make people aware how important it is not to tamper with fuses.
Always use the correct fuse value !

What no protective conductor!!! ground / earth or |CPC or what ever.
I suppose it was a none conductive environment, your wooden box- so that was ok, The wood box, Which incidentally is also a prefect material chamber for your 'Controlled combustion environment'. The Green party will be really keen on the Toxic gases you were releasing.

@RODALCO2007 I suppose 63 is a sub multiple of 1000, eg 1000,500,125,63, 30/32 etc

@kooashoo The battery is to hold the cable off the ground.
This is reduced mains voltage with no fuse. Around 60 Volts 50 Hz

This is why you never jam a nail into a fuse socket.
