What is electrical problem?
1. Frequent electrical surges. Electrical surges can be caused by anything from lightning strikes, damage to power lines, faulty appliances and bad electrical wiring in the house. If you experience frequent electrical surges, the culprit is probably an electrical device connected to the home grid or the wiring itself.
What are the causes of electrical faults?
Some of the possible causes of faults are,
- Overvoltage due to switching surges.
- Severe lightning strokes.
- Aging of conductor.
- Heavy wind, rains, and snowfall.
- Falling trees on the transmission line.
- Excessive internal and external stresses on the conductors.
- High changes in atmospheric temperatures.

What is effect of fault?
An electrical fault is a condition which can cause equipment failures (in transformers, transmission lines, alternators, busbars, etc.) and disturbs the normal working of the system. The faults can also lead to the death of humans, birds and animals along with equipment failure and electric power supply interruption.
What are the signs of an electrical problem?
Electricians don’t get points for appearance. Beautifully arranged, well-organized cabling doesn’t conduct any better than wires that run haphazardly or aren’t quite level along a joist. However, signs of extreme disorganization or slapdash work can be an indicator of poorly done or rushed electrical work.

What causes flickering lights and loss of power?
See CIRCUIT BREAKER FAILURE RATES – a bad circuit breaker or electrical panel connection can cause flickering lights or loss of power. This article lists common or well-known problem circuit breaker or electrical panel brands or models.
How can you tell if your electrical system is not grounded?
While we’re talking about grounding electrical systems, it’s worth noting that you may have grounding issues on a wider scale than just your gas line. If you touch a metal object connected to your home’s mechanical system and receive a shock, it’s a strong sign that your electrical system is not properly grounded.
