As per attached, my house's meter adapter (I saw the appointed electrician by the developer installed it during the commissioning of the electricity to my unit). Now it is gone. How much does this thing cost?

The meter is installed right at the pillar and locked (and of course can be unlocked easily).

Think 10 or less. I brought one before. Your is 40 or 63amps?

63A... So it can be bought from the market easily?

I saw 63A at the DB box so I assume that one is 63A? What is it called? I think I will report to the developer handover office to give them alarm on the theft... I seriously dont think TNB will need to remove this. I saw tampered key hole mark...

Pretty common thing. Can get at any electrical shop. Just snap a picture and show it to the shop.

No TNB didnt take it, it was stolen.

Lucky it was only that item stolen, often the theives take everything.

It is very bad I think. Most probably the workers around took it away. It is gated and guarded. It is still a pretty new development and most owner just took keys early this year...

Thanks man. It is a relief that this adapter can be sourced easily... I was worried that I had to be chopped deep deep by TNB...

By the way, how easy it is to install and remove this thing? Wont get shocked at all?

Plug in only. Just don't plug in with your fingers

Please be careful when you plug in the fuse, live current. Before you plug in that fuse, I suggest you make a marking, previously I had mine marked and when it was stolen, I traced it to my new neighbor.

Brought a baseball bat to confront him.

1 side of the copper contact is LIVE. So becarfull not to touch it.

If your hand shaking, than pay some fee for the shop guy to help you.

Good idea on the marking !!!!
New neighbour meant the one next door or few more units further?

Baseball bat

Geez....this thing also can get stolen....

Upside down or the other way round doesnt matter?

I will do the marking too... Dunno which workers here or owners here stole it. But I think I will try at the developer office first to demand a replacement since it was stolen in the first year with their own appointed security company.

By the way, any idea how much this thing cost?

Next door neighbor who just moved in few days ago, a Philippine expat. You can't blame my anger because wife got discharge from hospital, reach home and noticed no electricity. Upon checking the main electrical board, saw my fuse missing, look up and down, spotted my fuse on slotted in his unit (mine have marking)

Straight away went home to grab my bat and bang on his door.

Then what happened? Did you get him to unplug it from his and go to yours and pasang back?
Sigh....first day already make himself a bad neighbor

Got it cleared. Will ask my uncle to do for me... I just wonder why people will actually steal it...

Thanks for everyone here

No la, he dare not open his door. Standing behind his door, he said it was his contractor that took my fuse, I told him this is as good as stealing. Screw him up real good with all neighbors coming out to kepoh due to the commotion....Took back all my fuse and case closed.

When tnb cut the supply they also take out this fuse.

I think this fuse belong to tnb. But can buy at electric shop

You should just bring along your dog to scare him, meaning next time bite him.

This stealing of neighbor fuse is so common in condo and apartment where they have a common meter room. You steal mine, I steal his, he steal hers and then everyone marked their fuses with unit nos. Most time it is the contractor who started first.

I don't own a dog...hahaha. The good thing is after that incident, management pad lock the door of main electrical board, before that anyone can access.

last time all 3 fuses in my condo got stolen

do you mark with paint?

Typical Malaysia mentality

I just use a screw driver to carved some marking that on the black fuse cover, you can mark it with paint if you want but make sure not easily remove. Why don't you bring this matter to your management, get them to locked the access.

This is called 63A cutout fuse(common electrician term). I think your brand is PLK, which is approved by TNB. These things get stolen all the time. There is copper inside, so thieves will just sell as scrap. But get the developer to replace one since still under 1yr.

Hiw much does it cost?

not expensive.. around rm15 - 20 per set.

May I know where I can actually find it? I went to a few shops and all of them are selling old type big one... Mine is measured at 8cm x 4cm... Eventually I went to TNB and reported for the missing fuse.

where is your location? PJ/KL/Puchong/Kepong?

I am in Johor Bahru. Bro, you are selling?

In JB, there are a lot of electrical shops in Johor Jaya. You can go to one shop in Bakawali, PS Electrical, I think they should have. There are many other shops there who carries the PLK brand. But I still think you should go to the management and ask them exactly which brand/model, then ask them if they still have. If not then you can go get it from the shops.

But when you install it, make sure you fit in carefully, sparking may occurs if your hands are "shaky", but no need to worry as long as you are careful. Just make sure you are wearing a thick rubber sole for protection. But if the management has an electrician to help you, then please ask them to help.

Yo bro, so you can confirm the brand is PLK, slim one measured at 8.4cm x 4cm (holder dimension, so the fuse should be smaller a bit).

Is this the shop? P. S. Electric Trading@ 9 & 11, Jalan Bakawali 50, Taman Johor Jaya, Johor Bahru, 81100, Johor Bahru, Johor.

I juz called n asked. I was advised to change everything include the holder as the dimension maybe a little bigger?

The attached is from my neighbouring unit.

Just buy change the casing if need too. When I change, some shop told me got 3 to 5 types, i brought the two most identical, lucky one it match.

I see.. Nvm... I wait for TNB guy to call me for the replacement... Will check with him also...

Then you have found your replacement PMSL

No la... I dont do that...

It's not easy to change the whole casing, you need a TNB guy to do it, or any electrician. This is live wire, so you may not be able to handle it. Wait for TNB, just give him some kopi duit, he will kau-tim for you.

I am looking for a simple fix - which is to plug in just that cut-off fuse.

TNB has not called me yet Perhaps it is due to Public Holiday? Having said that, if I were staying in the house, I could be about 24 hours (since the reporting) living without electricity...

Well, I do see some shop just plug a copper for temporary usage, not the best, but for temporary.

I used live chat earlier with TNB and the response is almost immediate. TNB guy replaced for me with a new one. This unit is with a handle. Anyway, I do get another spare from him just in case. After all, I think getting TNB to replace is faster and cheaper. RM 10-15 per fuse which will be charged to the electricity bill versus buying a new one from the electrical shop.

LoL!

Good job! Glad you finally got it done.

Anyone please tell me where can i get this type of fuse. Specific name of the shop please. I live in pj btw.

You buy it at an electrical shop..

Its called a 60A cut out fuse and holder.. or 60A/100A as they're the same dimensions

Inside should be is a HRC (high rupture capacity slow blow) ceramic fuse with a fixed or replaceable fusible link. That's the name for the fuse wire..

You'll need to brace yourself so you don't fall when you pull it out (or push it in) as the connectors are spring loaded to maintain a very tight fit.

Where can i buy that actly? I mean the name of the store specifically?

goggle up electrical shops, Petaling Jaya gives me

Normally new house ready have some stealing happen. Whatever they can sale, they will steal. Sometime you can see something is missing in 1 role of new house.

Those experience and big developer, will do something to prevent this stealing. Like

1) put up a security guard. Normally a yrs till many people move in.
2) Some of the thing will not install till the owner get the key. Like DB box, fuse holder etc.

I wonder what the heck they wan2 do with my meter ...
I call TNB hotline but so busy wan... owas on hold...
Can call private contractor anot wan?

Anything that can exchange the money. They not interest the meter.

I think you only can deal with TNB.

Or check with the developer maintenance office. (the complaint dept) But normally they taichi to TNB.

I checked with the developer.. reli taichi to TNB..
OMG...
Few days ago got 1 bunch of samseng near my hse, i should report at that time...
BTW if such cases like suspicious, report to TNB or Polis? no bukti pun

U report straight to TNB? U know what are the procedures?

no too lazy. go hardware shop buy.

Wah. Which taman you at? Very potong stim when got these samseng hanging around.

is it legal to put on grill on this tnb box? worry tnb will ask me to take out grill..

This post has been edited by spreeeee: Feb 24 2016, 05:07 PM

yes.. maybe warrant more trouble to u, cz they might think that u sabo their meter for subsidi then ask to check... pening la...
I oso thinking want to install grill, but sked later suka hati the TNB ppl come check, oso trouble

Maybe when you report to TNB, you ask them is it ok to put in grill. Like how the conventional 3 phase meter in front of the house, it have a small glass window, while the opening are lock.

Your grill may have to have opening with pad lock to secure it.

of coz will have a pad lock to open/close, and the meter reading should not be hidden from view. i wonder any1 really do this, and tnb ppl no disturb or ask u to take out the grill..

does anyone know what are the incentives given to those who report suspects stealing electricity?
if reported wrongly? any penalty?

Got such incentive? How do you suspect? Residential or commercial?

heard got incentive.. so i was just curious.. probably commercial get higher incentives?

Hardware shop got supply TNB meter? can borrow contact?

Ok my bad. Wasnt really reading. Was referring to the fuse. Big ass fuse. Sorry. TNB i suppose if you want to get the meter. MY BAD!

ooh... thanks anyway

Gonna shamelessly bump this thread

My fuse for ground floor shoplot kena stolen

Is there a way to secure the damn thing like cover it with a metal box or any better solution?

actually that fuse should be tied with some 'dawai' with seal.. if anybody wan to take off must cut the 'dawai'.
maybe u can ask TNB 1st before doing anything, thats tempering with their properties.. that meter/fuse belongs to TNB actually..

shud secure the whole thing in a box. https://shopee.com.my/GEB-Single-Phase-Outd...2935.6547666413
