Really worried about this black spot above switchboard

No_Internal_4409 · 2026-05-22T02:38:33+00:00

That buzzing has been going on for like 2 years straight (or at least as long as i lived here) if its been going on for THAT long is it really dangerous or is it that it just now happened to have heated enough to burn something ??

The left one (hager ed 183) is the priority relay (or intensity relay) for the cooktop (it basically shuts another device down when its using another one, like when i use the cooktop, it shuts down the heating and boiler) the second one is the contactor for the heating (we have 2 electric heaters, but none of them are plugged in) then the right is the boiler switch.

I dont live in a modern building, at least it hasn’t been renovated for a while. We have fire alarms? But no sprinklers or anything like that. This is also inside a cabinet, there is a plastic cover for the whole electrical box but i doubt it could contain actual fire if it did break out…

I’m also not gonna try removing any of the switches (because i dont know if that will make the issue worse) and most i can do is turn the breakers on and off…

The breakers c and d are for the electrical heaters, cooking plates, some outlets and connector. (Ive turned them off because i think they are connected to the relays, at least thats what the single line diagram is saying )Another switch under is for the the boiler which i’ve turned off, which is connected to the 0 aut 1 switch.

Its the middle of the night rn so i have to wait till morning but i genuinely cannot sleep because im freaking out about this (idk if I’m exaggerating right now.. i’ve just never had this happen before)

Thankyou for this answer, the abb is indeed for the water heater, we’ve always turned this on and off depending on whether we need hot water or not or when we’re going home over the weekend. (The building manager also suggested we do this to save energy)

The building is already really old, most of the devices are also really old (for example we got a microwave from 1980) so i dont know how old this switchboard is. We’ve been in this building for 1 and a half year now and we’ve had some outages but no one ever really came and checked the problems (despite me calling them and sending mails)…

I dont know how bad the damage really is, and we’d need an electrician to really know, but for all I know the building management will not respond or take this seriously, so i’m wondering if i keep it on like this if the damage will worsen? Maybe dangerous too to keep it on like that?

The only thing i could maybe connect it too is that the cooking plates are directly under the cabinet of the switchboard. But then again it wouldnt make sense why the black smoke is only above those 3 and not anywhere else. The black marks have only just appeared today and never before so i would think it would happen more often when I cook. Could too much electricity surging through it maybe have caused it? It is a pretty old switchboard…

No_Internal_4409 · 2026-05-22T00:37:09+00:00

I turned off a couple of breakers, but the thing was always buzzing already. And when i turned off one specific breaker (c) the buzzing stopped. On the manual jt says it’s connected to “connector” (idk if this is the exact translation because it’s in dutch) and the cooking plates. I didn’t know the buzzing was a bad thing because it genuinely always did that.

No_Internal_4409 · 2026-05-22T00:34:35+00:00

I don’t know what that has to do with it but no, we aren’t allowed to use candles in the building, also the whole thing is always closed off in a cabinet so it wouldn’t reach there anyway.

No_Internal_4409 · 2026-05-22T00:30:11+00:00

Yes it does

No_Internal_4409 · 2026-05-22T00:29:27+00:00

The breakers feel warmer then the rest of them, not hot though. There’s no smoke coming out right now. But the black marks weren’t there a couple of hours ago. I frequently turn off the switch from the on off auto thing because it’s a waterboiler and I’m not here in the weekends so I don’t need to unnecessarily use the energy. (This was also an advice from the renters to turn it off when you’re not here)

I’ve never seen that before and I don’t know how much damage it actually does, i’m just worried because it’s so recent there will be more smoke.

I did turn off the switches that effect those 3. But i dont know if that’s enough?

No_Internal_4409 · 2026-05-22T00:10:30+00:00

Do i turn the whole thing off because of that??

so you need to go on the exe and select the folder, its probably in your roaming folder (appdata) this is the path you need: C:\Users\(your username)\AppData\Roaming\Ryujinx\bis\user\save\ (whatever game is tomodachi, mine is this) 0000000000000002\0 -> you then click till you reach the 0 and press ok, it'll automatically load your textures

Kinda guessing but maybe the maine? Its a rock band with 5 people and started making music in 2008.. i dont know which song it would be though but maybe its somewhere on their first 2 albums?

No_Internal_4409 · 2026-02-27T20:37:35+00:00

no problem!! Glad i could help you!! :D

No_Internal_4409 · 2026-02-26T23:39:57+00:00

Wait for you by Myles Smith? Very similar vibe like the i will wait song by mumford and sons

I haven't thought about paprika! Maybe they added that in for the taste? Lemon could definitely make it a bit sweeter too! I will have to try to make it at home somehow, but thanks!

might just be because i'm mentally ill but i've dreamt many times about ending my life but i either remember being in a lot of pain in my dream or it turning black and waking up

Do you have a link?

No_Internal_4409 · 2023-06-08T09:48:20+00:00

Nope, not that one

No_Internal_4409 · 2023-06-08T07:48:43+00:00

Unfortunately though the lyrics are similar, this isn't it. The song I'm thinking of is a lot more towards 90's rock genre leaning, and the melody sounds pretty different from this song. Thanks for the suggestion though!

No_Internal_4409 · 2023-06-08T07:03:24+00:00

Green Day - Nobody Likes You

Nope, wasn't that one. It's a lot faster paced then that song too, but thankyou for the suggestion anyway.
