Is there a power cut in Karsiyaka?

Anyone without power in Karsiyaka? It's been off since 8 am but all neighbours have power.

Have you checked the trip switch in your fuse box ?

ALL neighbours?

Because there are 3 separate 'phases' (feeds), you would normally find that successive houses are fed, in turn, by different 'phases', so the ones immediately either side of you could be on (say) phases 1 & 3, but you could be on phase number 2 ...

If everybody else has electricity, then there's the possibility that your mains fuse has gone, or a 'trip switch' has developed a fault, or that your Smart Meter has decided to disconnect you...

It could be time to ring Kibtek if you can't determine the cause - at least they'll be able to tell you whether there's an issue that they're aware of! - 0392 815 2223

Have you paid your electric bill? Kibtek now cut you off when your bill reaches a certain amount, rather than letting it go for a few months, as they did in the past. Am not sure how much, have heard various figures from people. Entirely possible if you've been using air con a lot in this heat.
Whatever reason, hope that you manage to get it sorted out quickly.

If you look at your meter and see 2 or 3 bright red lights at the bottom, that means you've been cut off.

Mine is usually the external trip switch
