Started 2 days ago to notice a weird smell in the house at night. Only just now realized it came from the home electrical panel box. Felt the plastic panel box and it is warm to the touch. The smell must be slow heat against plastic.
I removed the screws and cover . And I could hear the scary electric crackling sound mildly. I have off as much power point as I can at this time of the night.
Anyone can recommend a qualified electrician around Sri damansara area? Much appreciated.

The smell started only 2 days ago. House has only 2 ac (1.5 hp and 1 hp). Nothing new was installed lately, except a Xmas tree with lights, I have turned it off .
Yes, I need a good electrician to look into it asap tmr.

The fuse (?) with the 60A word is a little warm to the touch.

QUOTE(bobowyc @ Dec 31 2019, 02:49 AM) Looks like both of that need to be changed. 60A and the N one. xD See the bottom there looks a bit fat already. xD Any idea why it decides to give way? The load has remained more or less the same for many years. But Yes they are as old as the house , more then 20 years.
