Yaar what to do I tried to boil water in a kettle after a few secs I saw fire and sparks in the socket Turned it off Now my room smells like burnt plastic and I see some smoke Please help T_T
>>58592 it means the cables are too thin thats why they get hot and burn you have to rip out the cable and put in a thicker one
>>58592 Probably use >6A shock absorbers
>>58592 Hostel?
>>58602 Lodu check meta add flowers take times to bloom banner
>>58600 How do I do that... >>58602 Woh kya hota hai T_T >>58603 Haan
>>58615 you can t do it they put in thin cables its probably an old building i know this issue because im facing the same one here in Switz. i would be more worried about other people starting fires as well lol since the whole hostel probably uses wires that are too thin for 2026 loads and if you got sparks and fire that means there are no breakers
>>58611 Will do >>58615 >Woh kya hota hai T_T You can find spike guards with thicker wire (usually more than 6 amps) on them. They're usually made for running high power electronics. Thin wire can't handle that much load and gets burnt due to high heat
Can't do much if it's your wall socket. Need to change wiring. Most houses already have thick wiring.
>>58626 Ohh got it thanks :) I'll see if someone has it and borrow theirs >>58628 I'm in a hostel
>>58629 >hostel Spike guards won't really help then. Either try on a different room. Though I highly doubt if it will work.
>>58629 write a complaint to the hostel theres a 100% chance somebody bridged a breaker and theres a 100% chance somebody will start a fire by plugging in a device and falling asleep sooner or later
>>58641 I'll try a different power outlet then tmrw... I don't really mind the room catching on fire as long as I also catch fire If I don't college will ask me to pay for the damages... T_T >>58650 Will try
>>58651 Did the hostel tell you to not use kettles?
>>58651 their sockets catching fire is not your fault lol its theirs they need to upgrade the wiring and most importantly they need to ensure that the breakers are working so that no current can be drawn that leads to fires
>>58656 They haven't said anything... >>58658 I will complain about this tmrw morning Thanks for the info :)
Abey chutiye pajeet hai saale, no one pointed this out This happens when the building is not grounded. You need grounding for something like this and electric coil water heater. The third pin in it's plug is for that reason
>>58765 wrong
