Electicity Problems Nonthaburi ?

Are any of our members currently have any power problems ?? some of my power outlets are not working but some others are okay ?? The power point where my fridge is plugged in is not working.

Do you have 3-phase power? If you have 4 wires from the street to your home you do. If so it's possibly a phase failure, move the fridge to a working outlet and wait for MEA/PEA to fix it.

 

If you don't have 3-phase (only two wires from the street) then start looking at your fuses / breakers.

Move the fridge to a working outlet whilst you investigate.

Thanks Crossy, I only have 2 wires to the house so I went to the fusebox and turned off all the breaker switches and then turned them all back on and that fixed the problem ??

Breakers usually only open on overload (too much current being drawn or high heat on the circuit).

 

While it's fine to 'reset' the breaker, be aware that an event occurred that triggered it's safety mechanism. That event may have been a one time thing, or potentially an ongoing issue still to be rectified.

 

Breaker circuits are known to open during rain storms (high humidity), insects and small 'critters' in sockets and switches, and blondes using hair dryers, but usually not Thai ghosts.

 

A visual inspection of the troubled circuit wouldn't be a bad idea if you don't immediately know what caused the breaker to open, looking over all plugged in devices or wired lighting on that particular breaker connected wire run looking for anything out of the ordinary.
