No Electricity in Apartment Sockets Despite Lights Working - What's the Issue?

Question

Hello. In my apartment there is no electricity in all sockets. Only one test, what could be the reason? Light can shine in any room.

biohack · Answer

The light and electricity in the socket are two different installations, it's best to look in a box to see if there is a short circuit

loki_82 · Answer

I know that light and electricity are different installations
but why in 1 room there is electricity in the socket and in the other 2 there is no. Where it is not, it sparkles when inserting the plug.
Remove the plugs?
unscrew the socket and check that the cables are not loose?

The fuses are operational? If you don't know it, don't mess with the electrical system. A professional will help.

Yes, turn off (unscrew) the fuses and then you can safely get to the socket.
If it sparks when inserting the plug, it could have loosened the cable or the holder ruptured and thus a short circuit.
If you find nothing, screw everything up again and call a repairman. Sometimes think twice before correcting something. And protect yourself from being triggered by other people while you are picking. Always check that there is no voltage on the wires, even if you have removed the fuses, because maybe something is wrong in the installation and the voltage may still be there. Good luck

AnnoDomi · Answer

If it is sparking, it is possible that the phase is and the neutral wire has been damaged (this is how the cables burn in the event of overloading the element and gradually burning out the contacts) - often the installation is divided into sockets instead of the box - it is simpler, but in the case of damage to the socket, it just flies all power from a broken socket. After turning off the power (cut off the fuses) to check with a tester whether there is a phase in the socket and successive control of the installation from the fuse board socket by socket until the problem is found.

Maybe you have to connect sockets without socket, i.e. from socket to socket, now it is installed so often, it is enough that one socket does not connect, and other sockets also have no electricity.

Hello
I have a similar problem since yesterday
I enter the house, I turn on the light in the large room and at the same time, 2 energy-saving fluorescent lamps on the ceiling shine,
From now on, half of the sockets in my apartment are not working, all of them on the ceiling

I have a box above the door and there are 2 overcurrent switches, one of which does not react at all ...
I am asking for help, I don't know myself at all.
best regards

It looks like it is much above 230V. Maybe it got hot somewhere in the N building. Disconnect the power and replace the fuse. It's best to ask a professional for help.

If you do not plan to say goodbye to your family and friends and escape to the other world - supposedly better - then do not try to do anything with such knowledge of the subject - not to mention the need for knowledge and qualifications - unfortunately, I advise you to call a specialist and wish him to be a specialist with true.

Yes, surgery and electrical engineering cannot be done without sufficient knowledge!

So my problem is that the wires from the socket to two sockets and to 2 halogens when I connected everything, but after a while the fuse blew out when I turned it on and it turned out that there was no electricity in the socket. In my block, the sockets are connected (in series from one socket to the other and, surprisingly, in the socket preceding there is electricity) I attach photos to illustrate the matter, please

If you need help, don't require users to pay you with points to download these pictures.
Lack of voltage, slightly pull the wires that go from one socket to another and observe if you pull in one box, they move in the other because you may have a broken wire.

zbigmaz1 · Answer

If they are in pipes, you can check them, but where do you have all these sockets? Added after 56 : Interesting

mtracz · Answer

That's right. I only proposed this way. And I do not know how the installation is located in this case, because I did not see these photos.
