Why turn off the light and where to call at the same time
Our life without electricity is simply impossible and therefore, suddenly left without light, many may simply panic. In this article, I will briefly discuss why blackouts occur and where you should contact and call.
Reasons for power outages
All reasons for shutdown can be divided into economic and technical. I will not dwell on finances in detail, because if you have debts and have warnings about disconnection for non-payment on hand, then you will perfectly understand why the light went out.
But technical reasons include:
Scheduled maintenance shutdowns
Power transmission lines, Transformers, Generators, nuclear power plants, etc. are involved in the transmission of electricity, and they all require maintenance. Therefore, you may have no light for up to one day, but no more than 72 hours a year.
Emergency shutdowns
During an abnormal situation, light may also disappear, for example, a strong wind broke the wires. And it also takes a certain amount of time to eliminate these accidents. But in this case, there is no time frame, that is, they will turn on only when they are repaired.
Knocked out machines
It is possible that the tripped circuit breakers in your switchboard are to blame for the lack of light, for example, due to a sharply increased load.
How to find out why the lights were turned off
So, the light is gone, let's figure out why:
The first step is to inspect your dashboard with machine guns, it is quite possible that you will see such a picture.
If the machines are on, then let's understand further.
Call your neighbors and ask if this is a planned outage that you just don't know about. Or contact your UK (management company), usually the dispatcher's contacts are located directly on the payment receipt.
In addition, you can contact the following authorities for information on disconnected electricity:
- the number of the emergency dispatch service of the management company (usually indicated on the receipt);
- number of the operational dispatching service of the city;
- single number of the rescue service - 112;
- number of dispatching service of Energosbyt.
Conclusion
The most important rule of thumb when a power outage occurs is not to panic. I also recommend that you find out in advance the numbers of your management company, city power grids or sales. Also, be sure to have a supply of candles or light sources powered by batteries at home.
