Blown Bulb Also Blows Main Fuse?
Hi, I have a fault with my lighting and would like advice - I DO intend to use an electrician, but I'd like an idea of the cost involved before I do. The problem seems to be with the kitchen and dining room lights (on the same fuse). Both fittings have 3x bulbs in each, If 1x blows the main fuse blows also. Does anyone know what it is (and costs involved)
Thanks in advance x.

This sound a bit unusual to say the least but would be inclined to think that one of the switches is the culprit rather than the fixture also check and see if they are they only thing on that circuit.I doubt they are the only thing on that home run.

If a bulb blows and takes the fuse with it, there's a short circuit
involved somewhere. You haven't told us enough to try to chase
it down, but it's a job for a pro.
He'll charge for the visit + time spent. Probably about $100.

it truly is totally well-known behaviour for filament bulbs. at the same time as the filament breaks, one or different loose end can short adversarial to the different terminal. Neither CFL nor LED bulbs have this problem (the rectifier diodes in a CFL can theoretically fail short-circuit, besides the undeniable fact that it truly is totally uncommon in prepare).
