Any sparkys out there?
Problem:
Fuse box in the cellar, three seperate boxes. Each of the has the old stlye circuit breakers, some have 3 some have 4 inside. The ones where you can replace the fuse wire if blown.
If the breaker is labeled as 15 amp is it restricted to a 15 amp wire or can it be changed to a 30 amp wire?
I assume that everything connected to this one circuit breaker will not work if blown but everything else connected to the other circuit breakers, within this box, will a) still be working and b) have no bearing on the problem thats causing this circuit to blow?
TIA

Correct. if that fuse blows everything else will work regradless 
theres nothing stopping u fitting 30 amp fuse wire too it but it defeats the object of having a 15 amp fuse there in the first place
