    Hello
    Yesterday I connected a vacuum cleaner to one of the sockets. After a while the light started flashing and turned off. No fuse has blown, but there is no electricity in the sockets in part of the apartment, i.e. in two rooms. Nothing happened to the vacuum cleaner. What could have happened and why did the fuse not blow? I have no idea how to go about it, I have two days off and I don't know what to do :( (I am attaching a photo of the fuse box, it may be useful.

    It did not blow the fuse because there was no short circuit, only a break in the circuit. That's why the light was blinking, because there was already some slack in the wires somewhere.

    Look in the socket first, maybe the wires got loose there. Also check the fuse from the sockets and tighten the wires. However, if you do not have knowledge, an electrician will be better.

    I unscrewed the socket and everything looks fine in it, the cables are twisted (I attach illustrative photos). How should you remove such a fuse and check in it if everything is ok?

    Do you have an installation (as long as you know it and know it) directly connected to the switchgear (fuse box in your opinion) or maybe you have cans somewhere along the way. If the latter, look for a circuit break in these cans or as @ Witold5 wrote in the switchboard.

    From the top photo, I conclude that these are the fuses at the bottom. Depending on the room they are in. You have to remove the board cover to get to the fuses and check the connections and possibly tighten the screws, check the output voltages from these fuses.

    I see this is a new home so you have cans on top of your hand. Check the connections in the cans (as mentioned by the colleague above) between the switchboard and the sockets.

    Friend - but it is best to call an electrician. If you do not know this installation, you have no experience, you can also hurt yourself. The defect may be in many places - distribution board, boxes. Somewhere there is a broken wire connection or a broken wire.

    I checked the connections at the fuse responsible for the sockets, tightened the screws, but after turning on the main switch (which I turned off for the duration of the inspection) sparked and the cables shown in the photo burned out. Is this the same as having to replace the cables? What happened? I suppose I shouldn't turn on the main switch at all? No electricity in part of the apartment, the fuse has not blown

    Not necessarily replacing, but repairing for sure. So somewhere there is a short circuit and it's solid. So it's better to leave it for professionals who know the subject.

    You can see that the neutral wire was sloppyly screwed to the terminal block and therefore fried. Call an electrician and charge the repair costs to the installation contractor.

    I did not see because I did not look, but it is important that you noticed and the situation is solved.

    Dear electrician, as soon as possible because if other N wires are just as loose, you can have big problems throughout the house. Let it only work out, because the contractor did not put much effort into the work.

    Burnt zero cables, the electrician said it was a miracle that the equipment did not burn down and that there was no fire. 250 PLN / 20 minutes of work
