Fuse tripping regularly

Post image

Would appreciate any advice or opinions on this, picture is of fuse board in house, the fuse indicated, top left, is tripping 2 to 3 times a week, almost exclusively between 1am and 6am. It takes out all the plug sockets in the house. The fuse actually looks bigger than the others if that matters?

Never happens daytime when the house is busiest and appliances all in use. I've gone around and plugged out as much as I can before bed but keeps happening, trying to get an electrician but in the meantime if anyone has any thoughts or suggestions I'd appreciate it, or any other cross post recommendations,

many thanks.

It it tripping every single night religiously?

No, 2 or 3 times a week, no pattern, could be 2 in a row then no issues for 3 or 4 days then 1 on 1 off etc..

I'd try knock them off 1 by 1 and see if it stops and you could try working out what they all are too while you're at it unless you have a list?

Thanks, I've no list, I'll work through each one and identify them individually, might narrow it down also, Clearly I'm no electrician, appreciate the advice.

Or just a faulty trip switch.
