The winter cold with freezing temperatures in Partille will last until mid-February, according to weather forecasts. If you have electric heating in your home, it may be a good idea to keep an extra eye on your electricity usage to avoid overloading your electrical system.
The weather of recent weeks with snow and wind has caused power outages for many electricity customers around Sweden. In Partille, the risk of weather-related power outages affecting many customers is small because almost the entire power grid is buried. However, many households in Partille have electric heating, and it may be a good idea to think a little extra about electricity consumption when the cold hits. Spread the use over the day if you can.
If you have a heat pump for heating, it is good to keep in mind that the heat pump can switch to using the immersion heater completely if it gets very cold outside. If you are also charging an electric car, there is a risk that the total power output in your electrical system will be so high that your meter fuses will trip and you will be left without power at home.
Fuses can handle a certain overload, but the longer and more often it happens, the greater the risk that the fuse will blow. Therefore, fuses can blow even if you have not done anything different from one day to the next. For example, a 20 A fuse when new can handle a load of 30 A for half an hour. But if you have run 30 A for half an hour many times, it wears out and the time it can withstand overload decreases.
Here you can see the approximate power draw that different fuse sizes can handle:
| Fuse | Maximum power output |
|---|---|
| 16 A | 11 kW |
| 20 A | 14 kW |
| 25 A | 17 kW |
| 35 A | 24 kW |
Check your own system first if you experience a power outage. The easiest way is to check with your neighbor. If your neighbor also has no power, the fault is probably in the power grid and you can get information via our outage map.
If the fault lies with you, you can check to see if the fuses or the ground fault circuit interrupter have tripped.

We wish all our customers a few wonderful winter days without power outages.
