    A moment ago my brother plugged something into the socket and blew out one plug, that's what I will call it. However, the electricity was immediately unavailable in the whole apartment, even the meter in the stairwell did not work. I turn all the plugs on and off, nothing works. What to do? Is there any cork on the cage? If so, how to find it and possibly turn it on? I do not know electricity at all, but I need electricity quickly, because everything in the glacier will break down overnight, and I have to work in the morning.

    Ask your neighbor to borrow electricity - an extension cord will not be able to fix it without knowledge and access to boxes.

    I have access to the box on the cage, and none of the neighbors know each other, because they are all elderly women / teenagers.

    Not to mention that everyone is already asleep. Overall, the point is that I don't know what's wrong, all these switches can be lifted, but as if something is not playing on the frame, because this counter does not work.

    This is how it looks, our counter does not work at the top.

    Above I threw a picture of what I have on the cage, could you say exactly where to look for this switch? I can't find anything to remind him, only the round ones look like fuses.

    So I should somehow tighten one of them? :|

    It looks like the top one is yours and it just burned out. It needs to be replaced. The only thing that worries me is its green color :(

    These 10A for bida, provided that they have "eyes". And the one without markings, what amperage does it have?

    None for a bid! Pre-meter protection must be exactly as it was installed!

    And rightly so.

    And what do you see in the photo for the second fuse? I know, our lady may have another one, but in that case, let's send her to a specialist who will come tomorrow or the day after tomorrow,
    10A as a pre-meter is a mockery, but I can't advise her on how to tighten the fuse.

    Everything is already working, I put this fuse (or what to call it) on which there was no mark, but it looked identical to the one that was already inserted. I know I'm stupid, but I chose to take the risk. I'll call the eletrician tomorrow morning. In the meantime, thank you all very much :)

    The attached photo shows, if I can see correctly, that it is a 16A fuse (primer color - gray).
    Tomorrow, absolutely invite an electrician in the form of a peasant piece who, after analyzing the connection agreement and the sales agreement, will install the appropriate fuse.
    By the way, before you go to bed, make a round of the apartment and check the electrical components, especially the place where "something" is connected by your brother, the housing board. Make an "probe" in the apartment if you don't feel anything strange. If you notice any disturbing signals, break the fuse immediately and immediately. Health and life above all !!

Topic summary

An electricity outage occurred in an apartment after a device was plugged into a socket, causing a blown fuse and rendering the entire apartment without power. The user sought advice on restoring electricity, particularly regarding the pre-meter protection fuses located in the riser. Responses suggested checking the main plug and identifying the blown fuse among the old-style fuses present. The user was advised to either replace the blown fuse or call an electrician for assistance. Ultimately, the user managed to restore power by replacing a fuse that appeared identical to the original, although they planned to consult an electrician for further verification.
