Mancave Electrical Problem


pushbutton

Question

First off have no real clue about electrical anything other than plug stuff in, as well as no diagnostic equipment. Just asking this really as a safety issue. Problem possibly could have started when using a vacuum cleaner....it suddenly went dead. Checked the circuit box, and saw a tripped breaker, but not realated to where the vaccum cleaner was plugged in. Flipped the breaker back on, it still does not work, and now apparently one other circuit is completely dead without a tripped breaker, and others are allowing running low draws, but not higher ones. Am sure there could be multiple possibilities, will be calling tomorrow, but any one have an ideas concerning if my hut could be in danger of fire if leaving stuff like the fridge/freezer plugged in overnight or possibly longer while I try to find someone to fix it.

Actually did learn a lot. And despite my seeming nonchalance, most important of what I learned is what cluster @#%$^@ and how dangerous it really is out there. I have hundreds of ft of lines running through/below trees and on poles of which some are starting to get compromised at the base.....and all it would take is a good storm or branch to send one of these corroded tie in points and a live line down. Always knew this in the back of my mind, but this was a good way to fully appreciate it better up close. Most of these lines are not even servicing anything anymore.....time for them to go.....especially with a youngster running around; and while I am tempted to cap the source of this off by myself....I hate heights, so will let the guy coming out tomorrow do it smile
