Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 74680061 United States 02/26/2019 11:58 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | tree branch could be causing current spikes to your house. breakers could be cooked. did the box smell bad? I would turn off the mains and prepare for many things not plugged into surge protectors to not come on again. Quoting: allentownchemtrail Box smelt fine(ha ha) and I don’t think anything’s cooked because whenever we get a strong gust still things come back on for a second. I’ll shutoff the main, my question was is it worth waiting on the electrician until the utility clears the branch. Sounds like it is, I was just confused why it’s not knocking out the whole house during gusts. Feels more like power drains than spikes. |

The working items in your house must be on the same circuit. Electrician posted here that one of your phases is out, best explanation yet, but your wiring sounds weird, isn't 220 for dryer, stove etc., not split across circuits through a house? “the devil is a foe to the blood” Prof. Minor |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77376498 United States 02/26/2019 01:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | as someone stated above, one of the phases is probably in worse shape than the other. I would for sure kill the mains, and as stated above stay far away from the tree. current can travel underground in strange ways great distances for no reason. Quoting: allentownchemtrail Yup;sounds like a good guess: so anything that runs on 220 oven, dryer etc will not work correctly and will load down the "good"phase. Central heat and a few lights will probably be fine... |

I do not understand why all his 125 volt circuits are not working though... weird? his oven and dryer should not work.. not enough voltage. has he or she tried them yet? a short before you will not affect you, they can leave power on etc.. they are in effect cut out of the circuit there... but like the electrician said stay away from that tree. “the devil is a foe to the blood” Prof. Minor |
sparky User ID: 77404884 United States 02/26/2019 01:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OP, grab a good lightbulb and climb the tree and once up near the line, look for any loose wires up by the pole. If you find any that are frayed, touch the lightbulb to the loose wires to check if they are live. I forgot to mention to make sure your hair is wet, as this will act as a Tesla ground for any loose voltage in the atmosphere. Once you find the live wires, wrap some aluminum foil around the connections and seal with duct tape. The electricians in here will tell you that this is the best way to go. |

In the US. Three wires. 120v, 120v, and a neutral. 220 appliances use both 120s to get 240. One 120 usually feeds ½ the house, the other 120 feds the other half. If the neutral breaks, you could get 60v one one ½ and 180 on the other half (depending on load) and 220v to the 220v appliances. Don't open any panels or meters. Check voltage at the outlets. Give the trouble-shooter a cup of coffee when he arrives. Warning: JustSomeGuy_42 is a publicly confessed unvaxxed neophiliac .
