Frequently Asked Questions - Electrician Antalya

Never touch the shocked person with bare hands. First, turn off the main switch. If unreachable, move the person away from current using an insulating object (wooden stick) and immediately call 112.

In wet areas like bathrooms and kitchens, outlets must be at least 60cm away from water sources and covered outlets must be used. Additionally, sensitive (30mA) RCD protection is essential for these areas.

Child-proof outlets contain a mechanical shutter that prevents babies from inserting foreign objects into outlet holes. They are much safer than standard outlets and recommended as standard in new installations.

The first thing to do is install a functional RCD in the main panel and measure the grounding line's compliance with standards. These two elements are life-saving.

We provide 24/7 service to all central districts of Antalya: Konyaaltı, Muratpaşa, Kepez, Aksu and Döşemealtı neighborhoods, reaching you in an average of 30 minutes.

Yes, we provide workmanship warranty for all our work. The materials we use are also covered by manufacturer warranty. If you experience any problems, our technical team will intervene quickly.

Although rare, if there is cable insulation failure in damp walls, leakage can occur in the wall. This is a serious insulation fault and requires urgent technical inspection.

The installation project shows cable routes, circuit breaker capacities and load distribution. It speeds up intervention in case of failure and ensures the system stays within safe limits.

Excessive cable heating is not normal. This indicates either the cable cross-section is insufficient for the current drawn or there is looseness at connection points. It poses a fire risk and requires urgent intervention.

Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency electrician service day and night. We reach your address in Antalya within an average of 30 minutes.

Main causes: Overload, short circuit, leakage current or a faulty device. You can identify the cause by unplugging devices and testing one by one.

The RCD cuts the circuit when it detects leakage. Damp devices, worn cables or faulty appliances are common causes.

Buzzing usually comes from loose contactors, worn breakers or transformer vibration. It may indicate arcing and should be checked.

Heating is caused by loose screws or excessive current. If not checked, it can lead to fire.

It indicates melting cables due to arcing or excessive current. Turn off power immediately and call an expert.

Continuous sparking indicates loose prongs inside the outlet, which can cause damage and start a fire.

It's caused by loosening of screws used during installation. Loose outlets invite short circuits.

Electrical damage often comes from sudden voltage spikes when power returns. Protection relays are recommended.

It is when grid voltage rises above or falls below the 220V standard. Regulators or relays can prevent damage.

Faulty appliance motors, scaled heaters, old ACs or leakage current can cause high bills.

Press the 'T' or 'Test' button. If it trips immediately, it works. Test monthly.

Life protection is 30mA (protects humans). Fire protection is 300mA (protects property).

Ideally, each room should have separate circuits, plus dedicated ones for heavy appliances.

Single-phase (220V) is for standard homes. 3-phase (380V) is for high-power industrial use and large units.

If darkened or broken, always replace it. Never repair melted plastic.

Usually due to the switch cutting the neutral instead of the phase, or using lit switches.

LEDs use 80-90% less energy than traditional lamps and last up to 50,000 hours.

Yes, but avoid areas where wind-blown objects might trigger them unnecessarily.

Overheating in non-ventilated spaces or overloading beyond capacity.

Underground-rated NYY (YVV) cables with resin-filled waterproof joints.

Should hold 3x the weight. Steel anchors are required for drywall ceilings.

Faulty drivers, dimmer mismatch or loose neutral connections.

For remote access, yes. Local control can work without internet via WiFi/Zigbee.

Most require a neutral wire at the switch box, which might not be present in old wiring.

Quality brands use high security. Strong WiFi passwords and updates are essential.

System stops. When power returns, devices restore based on predefined recovery states.

With a smart plug, you can check and cut power from anywhere via your phone.

Yes, IR gateway modules allow phone control for standard AC units.

Done with ground testers. Residential ideal is below 2 ohms.

Yes, if well-maintained. Corrosion tests are recommended periodically.

If neutral breaks at utility, the device chassis becomes live at 220V. Fatal risk!

Current rods are 1.5-2m and must be fully driven into soil.

Use antistatic flooring and proper chassis grounding for all electronics.

Electronics are sensitive to noise. A stable reference prevents errors and failures.

Mandatory for tall buildings and high-risk facilities for safety.

If over 20 years old, or showing signs of overheating and frequent breaker trips.

Hidden boxes make maintenance a nightmare, requiring wall demolition to fix small issues.

NYM (Antigron) is double-insulated for damp areas. NYAF is flexible for conduit use.

Petroleum products can degrade insulation. Use special lubes or powder.

Doesn't emit toxic smoke when burning. Mandatory for public buildings.

Cleaning panels, checking connections, RCD testing and ground measurement.

Fatal error! Sockets/lamps stay live even when off. Real shock hazard!

AC startup currents can flicker lights or damage sensitive electronics on the same line.
