Most of the time, I cram whenever I blown fuse in an electronic appliance. Reading the appliance guide carefully will help prevent certain commotions that your own home needs it. This will focus first with lamps.
The Problem:
- A portion of your electrical system is off
Materials Needed:
- A set of fuses of the same amperage that you have in your entrance panel.
Basic Steps:
- Check the entrance panel for the blown fuse.
- If the copper strip in the center of the fuse is melted apart, the cause is probably overload.
- If the window of the fuse is darkened, perhaps so much that you can’t even see the copper strip, a short circuit is the prime suspect.
- If it is overload, disconnect some appliances. If it is a short then try to find where it is located.
- If you have removed some possible source, replace the fuse, but always with one of the amperage.
Note: It is not impossible that the temporary aberration may have been caused by a sudden power surge. In this case, merely replace the blown fuse or flip the breaker switch if you have a circuit breaker box. If the fuse does not blow again, your trouble is over.
If the entire house is plunged into darkness, either it is a general blackout or something is seriously wrong and the main fuse of the house has blown. If your neighbors do have light, you can exclude a general power failure and you should better call an electrician; the trouble that causes a main to blow is nothing for a do - it - yourself to fix.
