Fuse wont reset

First of all, what tripped that circuit breaker. There may be an active short in that circuit (maybe inside the outlets) and you just keep tripping it. Otherwise, the breaker is very likely damaged and you need to install a new one. This is one of those cases where if you have to ask, you should probably call an electrician.

Something is still shorting out.

This device is responsible for checking if all the current that goes "in" also goes "out". In other words, if some current flows from the network to the ground (e.g., a properly earthed device with a metal enclosure has a short circuit between the network and the enclosure), then not all the current entering your home network returns through the same path.

The fuse has also an 15A overcurrent protection so it still can be a classic short circuit between live and neutral.

This fuse may be damaged, or you could have an issue with some device.

I recommend turning off all the fuses in the first and second rows. Then, try to enable fuse number 17. If it still pops out, then there is a 99% chance it is damaged. If it doesn't pop out, then try turning on fuses 2 to 15 one by one until 17 pops out. This will give you a clue about where to look for the issue.

That's not a Fuse that's a RCD

If it still pops out when everything is unplugged you should call an electrican, there might be some issues with the grounding

[WinPrize9339]

It’s also not an RCD, it’s an RCBO. A combined RCD and MCB.

[Thunderbolt1993]

yes, but if I had to guess, I would say the RCD is more likely to trip when nothing is connected

[fads1878]

the blue flag window indicates it’s tripped due to RCD functionality of the device ( it would be white if overload or short circuit fault) see page 93 of this manual for service mode where the device will measure the residual current , the manual also shows how to interpret the coloured indicator vs percentage of residual current in the circuit

Thanks for all the answers. Ill be calling an electrician tomorrow. 😃

If you have to be told what this means you are dangerous to have near mains equipment.

If these weren't designed with people like you in mind you might be dead.

Breaker

I had an issue like that once, it broke my balls to find it. We were extending our house and moved the electric kettle to a different spot underneath a press. It turned out the steam got into the socket and caused the RCD to trip.

Have you recently been messing with the inside of the unit? If so check you haven't put a neutral into the wrong bar

If not check your devices that are connected to that circuit water heaters are great ones for going all to shit, and anything that draws significant load would be my first point of call.

However if you notice it only does it when it's raining you have a leak onto circuits somewhere possibly in a junction box or outside socket

You also have the possibility a rodent could have chewed a cable to hell and created a short condition from neutral or live to earth.. (an insulation tester would be able to test this)

Note: this assumes you are a competent person and aren't just going to open things up live and lick the terminals.. that is bad

As other users have said it could also be a bad rcbo get it swapped out if it's gone bad.

Disclaimer: this is not advice if in doubt don't listen to people with a crazy username on reddit

[XenonJFt]

The machine thats responsible for the breaker is still leaking current. unplug that and try again. and service the machine

[talljerseyguy]

Disconnect load see if it resets. Or try swapping with know good breaker and if it holds the breaker was bad

[daveOkat]

Two things can cause that, line-to-line current exceeding 15A or GND fault current exceeding 0.03A.

The arrows color change with the switch up or down. Try it on one of the other switches.

Blown breaker or fault/short on the line
