Why is Cable fitting melt twice surrounded by 2mos & no electricity is running within cable.? Cable runs from telephone pole to house, along same path as electric...
Cable runs from telephone pole to house, along same path as electric flash, but no touching of lines.
2 months ago fitting connecting cable to telephone pole, & fitting connecting cable to house was melt.
Today fitting connecting cable to house was melted.
Cable go out this morning between 7 a.m. & 8 a.m. No lightening strike or pop or nothing. (Only oddity be momentary blink of dining room light at about 7:20, if this matter, but the coffee maker didn't go off). There be no lightening storms this morning, & cable was working when I awoke at 7 a.m.
Please do you know how or why the cable fitting has melt in two months time, or how can I find out why this problem has happen twice in a short time.
Thank You,
Harry Gams
You may have a grounding issue in the house where on earth power is leaking through the ground wire and hitting the ground on the cable flex try disconnecting the ground off the cable splitter outside for a awhile and see if it happens again
Possible in attendance is an overload. But that has to be measured. Did you buy new electricity consuming things that you own connected to an outlet? What makes me suspicious is the mentioning of the coffee maker that be connected. What else was consuming electricity at the same time. How are your circuit breakers? I should expect that the breakers should trip until that time the cable fittings would melt. I suppose you do not have much experience about electrical installations and in that valise go for a licensed electrician. It is too dangerous and can be too expensive to mess near the electrical system. And do not wait with getting a well-mannered answer to your problem. i think to much power running through the wires all at once.ring up your cable company explain the situation and they can change the connectors to stronger ones they must of put cheap connectors on the ends of your cable wires for this to be happening.some cable guys use the more expensive ones some cable guys use the cheapies.depends who you obtain for an installer.
Answers: It sounds approaching there may be a grounding or neutral problem beside your incoming electric service. I would call your electric provider and have them come out and check those connections.
