Electricity circuit problems--Ripple effect
Ripple control is a form of electricity load control, with it, electricity grids can cater to everyone’s needs, it will be more obvious when having numerous home appliances, and it also can reduce the amount of energy supplied to some areas. If the load can not good controlled will damage power plant facilities, such like LED lighting flickering problems. If something wrong is a side effect of “ripple control”, just check the main power, electricity box, and the flickering LED bulbs.
1. Overload current
Overload current is an electric overload that occurs when too much current passes through electric wires in your meter box. The wires are easy to heat and melt to start a fire in such a situation if haven’t taken any rescue methods immediately.
Overloaded circuits could cause frequent instabilities in the current distribution and lead to the occasional flickering of LED lights. When your home suddenly power cut or the LED light flickers, the first time use the ammeter to check if overload current, then turn off the main power switch when confirmed the overload current, the next step is to go to the store and buy a better one to replace the old box.
2. Loose Connections
Maybe solving the light flickering problems because of loose connections is more saving money, time, and trouble.
How to do when flickering issues are more serious?
If the lights continue flickering that may caused by voltage changes in your place, as well as damaged related components of the electricity box, lights, or the dimming drivers. It is necessary to call an electrician to deal with malfunctioning electrical wiring problems more safely than you to handle it again and again.
