Limassol emergency electrician call out to another stolen main fuse. We often see this in large old apartment buildings in Limassol where everyone's meters and main fuses are all in one meter room accessible to anyone.
Theft of main fuses often comes from rented properties with international residents. For whatever reason they blow their main fuse, over load or often a faulty appliance, yes domestic wiring short circuits should stop at the MCB within the consumer unit, but due to the lack of poorly designed and installed consumer units with incorrect MCB/Fuse diversity, we seen many cases of an internal short circuit within the apartment lead to the main fuse blowing at the service head, completely bypassing the MCB/fuses within the consumer unit.

VOELCB means voltage operated earth leakage circuit breakers, these old design of earth leakage circuit breakers are not the same as modern RCD (residual current device) circuit breakers. We still in 2023 come across Crabtree VOELCB as the only means of earth leakage protection for the entire electrical installation of now modernised and renovated homes. These VOELCB do not protect against electric shock in many cases of dangerous fault currents flowing to earth and must be replaced immediately if your home in Cyprus still has one as the main switch earth leakage device.
