I wonder if anyone could help if you switch on say the dish washer or perhaps a power tool the lights dim. If I run the electric shower for a length of time the CB trips. N Power came and uprated the main fuse better but still all of the above.
Many Thanks

Still overloaded CB are delicate things that are designed to trip.

At my snooker club the lights often dim in windy weather, overhead cables so they tell me.

Is this an older house? Could be a lose connection, could be an overloaded circuit, could be the wrong size wire for what is on the circuit.
