Knowledge of fuses
can ease problems
By DAVID STEINMETZ
When exploring the far
reaches of your spacious one
bedroom house, don't overlook
that grey, metal box
It's called the circuit breaker
or fuse box and it's in every
home, usually in the garage or
back room
The electricity for the entire
house or apartment can be
turned on or off by the main
switch at the circuit breaker
That is what should be done
when having an electrical fire,
for instance
It is also possible to turn off
the electricity for only a part of
the house
Here too, a fuse will "blow" or
a switch turn off when too much
electrical power is being drawn
from the outside power line
So, when the lights suddenly
turn off, it may be because too
many electrical devices are be
ing used
But if no fuse is found blown,
and none of the switches at the
box have turned off, there is
probably an electrical outage in
the area
In this case, the circuit
breaker for the hot water heater
should be turned off — it is
usually the top, left switch at the
circuit breaker
The master valve on the
heater should also be turned off,
and it can best be identified by
calling EWEB, according to
Tom Santee, EWEB community
information representative
If, on electric heat, thermo
stats should be turned down
during an outage to reduce
power use when the electricity
does come back on
A "brownout," which causes
lights to dim but not go out, can
damage refrigerators and other
devices with electric motors
They should be turned off un
til the lights come on complete
r
ly, Santee says
Heating oil is fairly safe, even
if there is a “bad oil smell,”
according to Jan Kraal, Au
tomatic Heat Company book
keeper
However, natural gas is more
dangerous. It can leak and eas
ily ignite.
Though naturally odorless, it
is treated with a highly odorous
substance which allows a gas
leak to be noticed
The source may be a leaky
pipe, a burner left on, or extin
guished pilot light, but the best
policy is to close the main shut
off valve and call the gas com
pany
The main valve will be on the
pipe next to the meter, which is
usually next to the house
Northwest Natural Gas
Company, which provides gas
to the Eugene area, can have a
serviceman there within two
hours after a call
While looking for the gas
shutoff valve, also keep an eye
out for the water shutoff valve,
which is also often located out
side
This valve, also called the
gate valve, is between the water
meter and the house and shuts
off all the house's water
The gate valve can become
very important when old, fragile
pipes give way. The water run
ning through them is set at a
pressurization of about 50
pounds per square inch. So if
that new swimming pool form
ing in the basement is too late
for summer, either turn off the
valve nearest the leak, or go
right to the gate valve and turn
off the whole system
In addition to the gate valve,
the sink shutoff valves under the
sink stops the water going to the
faucets, and there is a valve like
the gate valve next to the water
meter, which is near the street It
may be necessary to have a
water utility serviceman turn it
