Warm fuse in fuse board

tomtom1981

Hey all
Just looking for a little advice, I live in an apartment and my front door bell has a large "fuse" in the fuse board that I had replaced about 4 months ago as it had started to burn.

I just happened to have a look in the fuse box and that particular fuse is warm to the touch, even though the front door bell is never used, just wondering us this normal or should I have it checked out?

get it checked out



there has to be something running to generate that heat anyhow

there may be an overload condition or else fuse unit just needs to be replaced or both

is the fuse screwed in fully?

Thanks for the reply, I just looked at it again, it's not what I'd actually call a fuse its a Garo Tran Bell Transformer 8va and it seems to sit in t the fuse board rather than screw in

the transformers do warm up alright.i wouldnt overly worry unless it gets really hot
its rather like your phone charger
if you are in any doubt though get it checked
perhaps another electrician will confirm what i say just to allay your fears
