Electrical Vacuum Breakers
electrical problem, please help?
okay, this may be hard to explain but Saturday i went to vacuum my office and as soon as i flicked the switch the power in the office went out as well as my kitchen lights which are in the room next to the office and the outlet in my living room that i had the tree plugged into…the breaker did not trip we checked it and even replaced it and it does not turn the power on…what else can it be? a burnt wire in the wall? is there a piece of equipment that can detect burnt wires in the wall? any help is appreciated! thanks
yea, we checked all the breakers over and over to try to find out what circuit it was on exactly…
Thank you all for your good answers so far..this has been very frustrating…I also must add that this problem is a occuring in a trailer, i am not sure if that makes a difference in how the place is wired and all of the outlets we have took apart have only one wire in but none leaving the outlets…i appreciate all your ideas keep them coming!
I just had a smiler situation last week. As it turned out, wires in a junction box in the ceiling somehow worked their way out of a wire-nut and grounded out against the side of the metal box. It did not trip the breaker because when the wires separated the circuit was broken. Luckily I had a suspended ceiling (This happened in my basement) All I had to do was locate the box and replace the wires that burnt after they touched the metal junction box and all was good in the world again. I also decided to just replace all of the wiring in the basement so that the other junction boxes did not have the same problem.
Be cautioned, Electricity is nothing to mess around with! If you don’t know what you are doing it can very easily kill you!
This sounds like a time to call a professional electrician to come in and find exactly what has gone wrong in your situation.
I wish you much luck in solving your power problem. Be carefull!
Take care!
