Without electricity, what will we do? It is as essential as breathing these days. It can cause havoc in our lives. Power sockets and power points are the most serious electricity problem.
This article will cover both power socket installation as well as PowerPoint installations.
What you need to know about Power Socket Installation and PowerPoint Installation in Singapore
Sometimes, overtime and wear, power points can become faulty. Although it may not seem obvious at first glance, you will notice that your devices don’t get charged properly or aren’t being powered.
How can you tell if your power socket is defective?
If it works, you can try the switch on/off strategy. If that fails, you may have a power socket issue or powerpoint problem.
This can happen for a variety of reasons. This is usually caused by a surge of power or incorrect wiring.
You might be able to solve the problem by replacing your power socket, or PowerPoint.
Do you have the ability to install a power plug or socket yourself?
This is not recommended as it can be dangerous and difficult as changing a bulb. Calling an electrician is your best option. You can only do one thing, and that’s to try to fix the problem.
Here are some factors that go into fixing a PowerPoint.
You should check to make sure there is no wiring. If so, it should be replaced. It could be due to haphazard wiring in the initial setup. Faulty wiring can cause shock and may be dangerous.
Sometimes power is not received properly. To check this, simply switch on and off your circuit breaker. If the circuit breaker is still not functioning, there may be a larger problem.
Sometimes, sockets can cause temporary problems due to their being wet. All you need to do is wait until they dry.

Types of electrical outlets – How to identify the one that you have
You will need to be familiar with electrical outlets before an electrician can come to your home to repair the problem or install power points. These are just a few examples.
Type G Socket
Type G socket is the most common socket in Singapore. It is the most widely used socket in Singapore and comes with 230 volts. It operates at 50 Hz. It is widely used around the globe, in Australia, Africa, and a few Asian countries. It is a grounded socket.
Type M Socket
Another type of socket you may have seen on the island is the Type M socket. It is a 3-pinhole socket and works well with appliances that use a lot of electricity, such as Microwaves and Grinders.
Causes of Electrical Socket Failure
There are many reasons why an electric socket can fail. These tips will help you to avoid them and know what to do if one does fail.
Circuit Overload
Overloaded circuits are the most common cause. When an electrical surge occurs, the circuit becomes overloaded. The fuse is then blown to stop the wiring from getting fried. This fuse is what connects the power to the wires. This helps protect you from receiving severe shocks. Your electrical socket will stop working if the circuit is too full.
Short Circuits
Circuit overload can also be caused by a short circuit, which is basically a ground wire touching a hot wire. You cannot avoid short circuits and you need to replace your electrical sockets.
Open Circuit
Open circuits are caused by loose wiring. This could be due to poor installation or excessive use. An open circuit is when the wire is loose and electricity stops flowing. This is an easy fix that requires only tightening the circuit.
An electrician can help you install a power socket. You can purchase the socket at a hardware store since you’re doing it yourself. This socket can be purchased for around $20. A power cord can also be needed, which can run for around $30.
