We already know how electricity works in our house from electrical appliance to device we use today. Although we use single phase or three phase we going to have the same problems that everyone face to solve it. Some people will fix the problem by recruit an electrician to fix electrical problems. But if you want to solve electrical problems by yourself but you don't what the problem is, Well dummies and noobs!!!! you are in right place to know what are the common electrical problems that might help you to solve.
Common electrical problems comes with variety types of fault and damages from wires to electrical appliance. So we going to look one by one in electrical device that cause problems and right solution to solve it. Lets get start it!!!!
1) Main Switch
Problems : Fuse get burn or blown even replace.
Solution : Replace fuse with 32A for single phase and 63A for Three phase or replace new main switch. Contact license electrician to inspect main service connection because that might cause over current to burn your main switch fuse.
2)Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB)
i)Problem : Keeps tripping when electrical appliance runs.
Solution : Check electrical appliance earth conductor and screw the conductor tightly.
ii) Problem : Trip too late when earth fault happen
Solution : Check the resistance of earth at the copper pipe with earth conductor or replace new RCCB.
3) Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB)
i) Problem : Trip when plug in electrical appliance or turn on Lights
Solution : Replace new MCB or screw live and neutral in correct position. If not this will cause short circuit
ii) Problem : Short circuit happen,but MCB didn't tripped
Solution : Turn On and Off or reset unitll the MCB to conduct the electrical device.
4) Sockets
i) Problem : Didn't power up electrical appliance
Solution : Check the live or neutral and both didn't connect tightly or replace new sockets
ii) Problem : Plug get sparks inside the socket when plug in
Solution : Replace new socket. This is because the socket have more space that didn't contact with plug's pin.
iii) Problem : Socket get explode cause of overload,short circuit or over current
Solution : Check the electrical appliance,RCCB and MCB. Check the amount amperage that carries to the sockets.
5) Switches
i) Problem : Switch didn't turn on or off even presence of electric
Solution : Check the connection that might be untightly screw
ii) Problem : Switch didn't work properly according to the loads
Solution : Reverse connection or wrong connection
iii) Problem : Switch didn't turn on in one push. The joint in switches damaged.
Solution : Replace new switch according to the connection and switch that use.
Wires
i) Problem : Wire's PVC layer melt or sticky
Solution : Wires carries more amps than requires. Check the MCB or RCCB and amperage.
ii) Problem : Wires burns and disconnect and chances occur short circuit
Solution : Follow the solution in 'i'
iii) Problem : Wires get rust
Solution : Wires in low quality and immediately change it
iv) Problem : Sparking between opposite wires.
Solution : Screw tightly in sockets or in switches.
V) Problem : Fail protection of wires. (PVC burned Or wound)
Solution : Cover the wound part with electrical tape or change the wires.
Solution : Check the live or neutral and both didn't connect tightly or replace new sockets
ii) Problem : Plug get sparks inside the socket when plug in
Solution : Replace new socket. This is because the socket have more space that didn't contact with plug's pin.
iii) Problem : Socket get explode cause of overload,short circuit or over current
Solution : Check the electrical appliance,RCCB and MCB. Check the amount amperage that carries to the sockets.
5) Switches
i) Problem : Switch didn't turn on or off even presence of electric
Solution : Check the connection that might be untightly screw
ii) Problem : Switch didn't work properly according to the loads
Solution : Reverse connection or wrong connection
iii) Problem : Switch didn't turn on in one push. The joint in switches damaged.
Solution : Replace new switch according to the connection and switch that use.

iv) Problem : Sparking between opposite wires.
Solution : Screw tightly in sockets or in switches.
V) Problem : Fail protection of wires. (PVC burned Or wound)
Solution : Cover the wound part with electrical tape or change the wires.
