    Hello,
    I've seen similar topics, but nothing identical.

    I was vacuuming the apartment (1500W vacuum cleaner) and suddenly the vacuum cleaner turned off (there was also a TV in the same room, etc. (a total of about 500W). It turned out that there was no electricity in the sockets in one room and in the neighboring room (serial installation without sockets). The mentioned sockets are completely dead, the tester shows nothing. Despite this, none of the fuses (16A, 4 pieces) blew as if everything was OK. All fuses are functional and after unscrewing them, the sockets indicate the voltage coming from the staircase.
    Next to the fuses is a large square box with wires going to it. Inside there is a long plastic cube. With all fuses on, all connections except one show voltage. After turning off the fuse responsible for the light, the box is completely dead. No other boxes/cans.
    I have one fuse on the cage (20A) and I assume it's working since I have the light and the other sockets are working (I can't check it). There are no other sockets, etc., between the socket, probably the first one from which the power is distributed in series, and the fuse box. While the vacuum cleaner was working, the oven (3500W) was still running, if that matters, but it was fine, it continued to work.
    I checked all the broken sockets and they all look ok, not burnt etc. What could it be? Installation interrupted, but where could it be? In the last few months I haven't drilled anything to damage anything. Looking for an electrician? If so, can you recommend someone in Bydgoszcz (Fordon)?
    Regards

    Maybe there are cans under the plaster somewhere.

    The block is 14 years old and there are no cans... unfortunately. Everything is connected in series and without separate grounding. I had to ground everything myself, according to the instructions from this forum.

    For information.
    I found a socket which, despite everything, turned out to be damaged (one of the cables popped out of the terminal). I thought it was at the end of the line and I didn't check it at first, but it was the reason for the problems. Thank you anyway for your help.
