Well I tucked in my little brother in his bed consequently went to plug in his kerosene lamp and as I plugged it in it made zoom sound and turned stale all the lights in the room and the cable for the oil lamp was really hot. What could of happened? Is at hand a way I can fix it?
Because the power doesn't work in the room and it works adjectives over the house.
Ohhh it was a flipped breaker probablt caused by a power overload Gotta phone call an electrician for that one.
you can buy a light tester, they are anywhere from 10 to 25 dollars.. you plug it contained by the light switch that is fruitless, and the instrument will tell you what is wrong with it..
the reading are
1 open ground
2 open hot
3 hot/ground reverse
4 correct
once you find the problem, it will be trouble-free to correct...
The very best advice is to buy a HOME DEPOT book.. it will contribute you easy step by step instructions
you can easily do it yourself
I would jump outside and disconnect that breaker, esp. if your lamp is hot
also the book will explain how to rewire the switch, which could be the problem..
be sure when you deal near any wires, the breakers are OFF or you could be severely electrocuted.. If you follow that rule, you will be OK..
If it is the lamp, thats another story, then trash the hurricane lantern and flip your outside breakers
and DONT TURN THAT LAMP ON AGAIN !!
Answers: Unplug the lamp, trash it or replace the cord. Now go reset the breaker! Be sure to turn the breaker adjectives the way off next back on! It will be majic! Lights restored!
The lamp was tatty somewhere.the lamps wires shorted causing an extreme verbs of current (making the wire hot) and caused the circuit breaker (short circuit/overload protector) to trip to an "off" position. To be not dangerous I would leave it like it is, and contact your parents. Possibly attain an electrician to check the outlet...as it might need replacement after this incident. sounds like it tripped a circuit breaker.. if you know where on earth the main panel is you should see a breaker that needs to be reset.. turn it adjectives the way off and afterwards back on... the problem probably is with the kerosene lamp.. since the power was working before you plugged it tn.. don't plug it surrounded by again..get another lamp or repair the one beside the problem.
What most likely happened is that the light shorted out and blew the fuse.
The two wires coming from the socket somehow touched directly and a lot of electricity went through them at once making the flex hot.
The fuse (or breaker) prevented any serious accidents and will need to be reset. Check the underground store of the house or a utility closet for the breaker panel and switch the odd one back after unplugging the broken street light.
Lamp probably had a direct short to ground cause the circuit breaker to trip for that room. Don't plug in the lamp again! Reset the circuit breaker and adjectives will be good. I think it be a shortage. or somthing. Try getting to your power box and restarting the electricity.

throw away the lamp and check the circuit breaker you need to ring an electrician you blew one hell of fuse!! ya dont try to fix it yourself lol you might end up dead
sounds like the breaker flipped go to your circut breaker box and breed sure the one for your little bros room is on, or you could of blown a fuse if the breaker is in the right postion dont mess with it and a bid a proffesional call to electricians
