Good evening, I just moved in my rental property in Bigastro. But at least once a day all power shuts down. I’m worried that there’s a problem with one of the switches on the main board (switch panel). The owner of the property said there’s no problem, but I’m not sure and afraid that it causes fire in the switch panel. So for my peace of mind I’d like to have it checked. Is there someone who knows a good electrician and what does it cost only to check the switch panel. If it turns out there’s indeed something wrong, I’ll have to contact the owner and it must/can be fixed.

In Spain you choose a tariff according to the maximum power to be used. Could be as low as 3.3kw. If you exceed this power usage, eg a kettle and washing machine or hair dryer at the same time, the power will shut down. It may restart by itself when you have switched off one of the appliances, or you may have to reset manually. Try to identify what you are using when it happens and ask the owner what max. power tariff the house is on.

Hay GordonH605, thank you for your explanation. I’ve checkt what you said and you’re right. So I’m reassured there’s nothing wrong with the circuit!

Again, thanks 🙏🏻💪🏻👍🏻
