Electrical emergency at home in Patna? Learn when to switch off the main supply immediately, what is safe to check, and how to book a priority electrician visit.
Switch off the main supply immediately if you notice
In these situations, switch off the main MCB, keep everyone away from the affected point, and do not touch switches with wet hands. Do not attempt DIY repair on live circuits — most home electrical injuries in India happen during well-intentioned DIY fixes.
- •Burning smell or smoke from a switchboard, socket or appliance
- •Sparks or crackling sounds from any outlet
- •Water entering the switchboard area during monsoon leakage
- •An appliance giving tingling shocks when touched
- •MCB or fuse that trips again immediately after resetting
What is usually safe to check yourself
You can safely unplug appliances, check whether only one circuit is affected, and reset a tripped MCB once. If it trips a second time, stop — the circuit is signalling a real fault. Note which rooms or sockets are affected; this helps the electrician isolate the fault faster.
