The advantages of having lots of circuits, book 1

Wednesday, July 16, 2008 by cArLo

in this book, we are going to tackle on the advantages of having seperate circuits for your lights and outlets/sockets. hahaha

when i woke this morning, the electric fan wasn't running, so i thought that maybe the plug was just loose. but as i went out of my room, i noticed that the refrigerator wasn't on, and all the other appliances. but the weird thing is the lights are working.

so we guess that it has something to do with the circuit breaker. but even though we kept on flicking it for like thirty minutes the sockets in our first floor wouldn't work. so we decided that it's time to get help from an electrician....but for tomorrow or so.

the electrical sockets at the 2nd floor are working fine. but still, having none working on the first is a big no-no for me... first, my room's in the first floor, so it's like i'm LIVING ON THAT FLOOR, so basically, i couldn't use the TV, computer, karaoke, coffee maker, refrigerator...and the washing machine when i'm washing clothes. haha it would be a nightmare. imagine: staring at walls doing nothing...errr maybe reading, but i'm not in the mood for reading today anyway.

luckily enough, since the lights are working, my dad turned one of them into an outlet, by inserting this lightbulb-end-to-a-socket thing (they can be bought, those with the metal end of bulbs on on end, and a socket on the other) and then plugging an extension cord in it...and voila! instant sockets!hahaha

so what's the moral? have circuit breakers, and separating the electrical sockets/outlets curcuits from the lights' circuit. haha
