Without electricity, phasing in both terminals of the plugs

Hi, first of all, he commented that I live in Argentina. I live in an apartment, and today I find that there is no light. Doctor with the pager on the board and electricity arrives at the input of the circuit breaker, but I see that all the terminals turn on the pager (there is no neutral). The same happens in the outlets. Reading some similar topics in the forum I see that they say that the neutral may be cut somewhere in the department. This is so? How can I detect the place where it is cut? Thank you very much for your contribution always

Hello Sure the neutral is cut, but to test you would have to use a test lamp. (Lamp, lamp holder and two whips as probes) Check the entrance to the general board and the corresponding thermal output, there you will have an overview of where the problem comes from. If you have both phases at the entrance and not at the exit, the problem is in the thermal. Then you do the same with the thermal sectional (within your department), and comment. Regards

Hello
It seems to me that you wanted to put "If at the exit you have both phases and at the entrance, the problem is not thermal

No, I wanted to say that if the thermal input has both phases (phase and neutral, lamp on) and no, the problem is thermal. If at the entrance of the thermal it has phase and neutral and at the exit it does not have or only has phase, there is no doubt that the subject is not making contact in the neutral (neutral phase), if at the exit of the main board it turns on the lamp of Testing is problem is inside the facility. You must perform the same test on the sectional board. it is understood? Apologies for using non-academic terms. Regards

Thanks Ricardo for the non-academic terms, it was perfectly understood. The problem has now changed and it seems to me that I have to change the subject: circuit breaker and thermal are doing well. The issue now is that there seems to be a very low tension. The LED lights that I have in the house are the only thing that works, with a very dim glow, or flickering.

Hello
Do what Ricardo told you (greetings), use a test lamp with a filament bulb, and check where you have the voltage drop on the main board.
Repeatedly raise and lower protections because one of them is likely to have dirty or bad contact; This is done with all remaining low protections, and one at a time.

With the same test lamp, you have to turn on bright, full, but you have to measure with a multimeter to know if there really is 220v, it can be low voltage or a false singer Greetings

Hi, Ricardo Ab. why do you call the neutral phase?

I already apologized about it, just for your best understanding. Although as we know the alternating current just alternates its cycles. Explain to a test lamp which is which. Cheers :):):)

That you have called the neutral phase, it has no relation to the alternating current or its semi-cycles, it was a terminology error on your part, for me, the subject is clarified ... but it seems that you have some somewhat confusing concepts (It is not bad , it also happens to me), what I recommend is to try with some available means, clarify these concepts, you can even open a question here .. thanks and sorry for the intrusion

Ferscotto I guess you have already solved the problem Actually it is correct to use a tester or a test lamp to find the problem but we agree that a tester someone who is not ex officio may not have one, and the lamp, sometimes it is somewhat tedious to put together a in fact, you have a search engine you can use it and find the fault with it very easy going through boards and mouths, supporting the pole finder on both poles, if you turn on both there is no neutral. If you turn on one and not another, you found the neutral, between these two points is the problem if the problem is in the whole house you just have to check the line from the first device after the meter to the first distribution Start with the first device after the meter at the entrance, if there is no neutral call the company. If there is neutral, the problem is considered internal and you must proceed to the exit of the same device and input the next until you notice that the neutral of lost Whether the problem is a device or a cable, you must replace it Check also more connections, they may be sulfated regards

First of all, thank you for the contributions and explanations! I ended up calling an electrician, because I had already tried a lot and got frustrated ... the problem was with the thermics on the building's meter board (that is, before entering the dashboard of my apartment). The terminals were poorly adjusted and that caused it to rise temperature, melting the plastic and preventing contact. I change the thermal and the matter was solved.

It seems good to me that you have reconsidered. On the other hand, if you had followed the advice, you didn't spend on an electrician.
But well, colleagues have to live with something. Regards
