Electric Problems

Hi Roland,

I don’t know the answer to your issue, but you may like to give Tom Ford a call on 666 133 674

He is very knowledgeable and a qualified electrician.

Good luck

Hi Roland

                     Hope your sorted your issues but if not check your main supply box your R.C.D may have tripped ours is located on the wall outside our Villa.

Phil.

Thanks for that contact number.

No not sorted yet.

We only have the trip switches in the consumer unit in the house.

No other trip switches anywhere.

               No sure what type of Villa you have but when we had a Classico on C2 there was a communal supply box where the main 415v supply came in and then eveach Villa had  a marked R.C.D in that supply box, might be worth asking a neighbour, I am on Camposol and was an electrian but I don't have any testing equipment here or much knowledge of the Spanish Electrical Supplies but I'm happy to pop round to your place if you can't get a local electrian and have look you can ring me on 07415840064 (English phone)

Our Smart Meter has a reset button. When pressed, the amber light turns green - might help.

The amber light indicates that the meter has cut off due to power demand above the contracted potencia .... too many appliances on, or a fault to which the meter has reacted before the trips cut out.

It is a Fiesta villa on A.

There is no communal supply just a box with 2 meters in it one is the neighbours.

They have electric.

I just wonder if the keyholder is not turning on the switches on the consumer unit properly or not in the right order ??

Having said that when they turn all the switches to on, the power does not come on in the house.

Pressing the orange button on the meter does not help.

Thanks for the offer of popping round much appreciated.

Nothing can have tripped out the electric in the house as the electric has been turned off for 10 months.

This is my meter

Hi Roland

I have the identical meter albeit 500mts away from our house in someone else's land. We have overloaded on occassions and as potencia only 3.5 kW and had to go to meter and press orange button as Will60 stated. Have you had no power since arriving or did you have power and it's just gone off? I would give the electrician a ring as it's possible it's not a DIY fix if orange button doesn,t reset. When we reset we have all appliances switched off first in house in case it's a fault on one of them. Hope you get sorted quick it's distressing.
