Electrical power issues at home can be quite unnerving and it could be frustrating when it happens at midnight especially in summers. Electrician services in Lahore may not be available at all hours. So a basic understanding of home wiring and general electrical power issues will help you through the havoc. Basic knowledge is all that you require. In spite of this, stay away from fixing these problems if they are at greater risk just because regardless of how significantly knowledge you have, the experience can put you on lacking floor.

Awareness residential electrical wiring

Mostly home electricity is supplied with two hot wires and one neutral coming into them which supplies you a voltage of 240/120 volts. But, the basic voltage is a little less which can be around 230/110 volts. This supply of power is called single phase electrical power.

You could be aware of switching current which is taught in physics. So, the power coming to your house is definitely changing. In the usual language, changing current allows electrical energy to be carried along long distances. Therefore, it will be possible for the energy department to provide you with electricity.

Now coming to wiring systems again, in case you find that just one hot wire with neutral then you could be getting a power of only 115 volts. It all depends on the wiring system. This type of electrical wiring, however, is generally used in electric devices. Few exceptions just like a dryer or warm water tanks use both warm and neutral wires use up to a voltage of 230 volts.

General things to understand before working on them

I know, this is highly fascinating but do not tear your electrical appliances to see the wiring or your residential power supply as it could be critical. Never forget that to switch the circuit off before working on them even when the power is down. Keep your contact voltage tester with you. Look at the wirings very carefully, it is highly possible to have more than one circuits in a single box. Find the one which you switched off. The wiring system is confusing so do not rush and verify twice yourself.

Working with electrical power is risky than any kind of task and comes with unfavorable outcomes. So, dress in basic safety equipment. In case you do not have one then just wear rubber slippers. They would guard you against electric shocks.

Secondly, every home is supplied with a "main service panel" which contains circuit breakers or fuses for maintaining the electricity at your home. Whenever electrical power goes off, check the service panel just because in case it may be disconnected.

Using this superficial information you can be able to fix minor issues. Do not take risk of solving the major issues as they can dangerous.
