QUOTE(ozak @ Jan 8 2017, 10:32 PM) Hi need advise here. Last year my newly installed water heater caused my mcb to make loud buzzing sound when turn on. As suggested by ozak, i ask electrician to change mcb and the sound stop. And today, after 1year, i just noticed that the buzzing sound coming back but it was less noise compare to previous. So was it normal or is there any other issue causing mcb to keep getting spoilt? |

QUOTE(ozak @ Feb 25 2018, 09:52 PM) It is not getting spoil but the contact inside the MCB dirty. It cover with carbon which cause the static jump between. That cause the buzzer sound. Ok, will request my eletrician to change & secure properly. Is there any other possibilites that might causing this? Btw, the water heater adapter was split out from the fridge adapter. Would this be root cause?Do you always ON/OFF the MCB ? Try ask the electrician check the wire secure to the mcb correctly. Screw tightly the wire on the mcb. Loose wire may cause the same problem. Change to more good quality mcb. Makesure the MCB rate at C20 (20A). |
