Hi Guys
we had our house built about 5 years ago, and in the last two weeks have started to have a problem with the electric.
Throughout the day, everything in the house will kind of pulse, like it is having its electric supply starved - ie lights will flicker, music amplifier will cut off and restart, fish pump will make strange noises etc.... even the light in the fridge flickers. When something flickers it will happen throughout the house at the same time - so the lights in the kitchen will dim at the same time the lights in the living room do etc. it can happen 4 - 5 times in a minute sometimes.
I have tried going through the control box / safety cut box and turning off / isolating one switch at a time and seeing if the flicker is still present, but still the house flickers. This has made me think it has something to do with the external electric feed, rather than an internal problem. I spoke with the neighbours tho, and they dont have this problem. We live on a small moo baan - with 5 or 6 villas, with a phase 3 PEA transformer supplying the electric. (sorry if my terminolgy is all wrong)
We called the electric board, and within 30 seconds of my GF speaking to them, they said it was an internal problem. (brush off?)
I will go back to the PEA and get them to come and do a proper check, but i thought i would ask you guys if you had any idea whay could be causing this, or maybe you can advise what i should tell the PEA so that they come and do a proper inspection?
PS it does seem to be worse in the evening (when we are drawing more electric) and also (maybe) after a rainy day
Hope you can help - and hope everyone is well ????
