ive seen some circuit breaker plug fuses. are they good to use? should i consider replacing the power panel with a new one or these plugs are still good and safe to use?
S type fuses only go into the base they are intended for. A 15 will only go into a 15 base a 20 will only go into a 20 base. 20 will not go into a 15 or 15 into a 20.
@@themrhelperguy ty for your reply. One more question. If I pull out all fuses, can safely replace an outlet? I thought it was my furnace, but rather an electric issue. Illuminating Company coming out tomorrow. Looks like they did shottie work. Ty again
Wall art and Lowes carry them do you know when s type came out 40s 50s 60s my parents house was wired 1970 they have wads worth box 4 pullouts and 8 fuse stats thanks
Very hard to listen to this guy talk at a snail's pace and can't understand a few words. Almost five minutes to hear 30 seconds worth of information I already knew.
It's been so long. I remember that there is a wire that holds the socket in there. Maybe fold the s socket into itself until there if enough play to reach the little wire.
I do not know if you still have the s type fuse in place or not, but you should be certain nobody will put a larger fuse than the correct one for wire size you have. That said, to remove sleeve, you will need to carefully break out the plastic insert in metal housing of s type fuse. Break out in very small pieces until the hangnail clip is exposed. Thank this circular wire out and fuse insert should unscrew with no problem. Of course it goes without saying power should be removed from s type fuse before removal. I have done this before, but usually on a blade type disconnect with blade pulled open.
There is a tool that is made for just that it cuts the lip off then you pull out black thread and pull up the barb and unscrew it shut of main before doing consult codes before doing
You can use a needle nose pliers and pry back the outer ring on the Type S adapter. After that you can use the pliers or small screwdriver and carefully slide out the plastic threaded part. Locate the small wire inside the socket that acts as a "barb" and holds the adapter in place. Pry it up and carefully unscrew the remaining screw shell. Obviously before doing this make sure the power is off, and please don't remove a 15 or 20 amp adapter to put a 30 amp fuse in there. This is a fire hazard.
