Power keeps going off and coming back on

[Billyray]

Hi Everyone,
Please can someone help me??

my electricity keeps tripping and coming back on but nothing is tripping on the DB board.

it goes off and then about 60 seconds later it just comes back on. I have a prepaid meter and when the power goes off the meter is still on.
What could cause this??? It even trips when nothing is being used…

@Billyray It's either Miley playing pranks on you, or your house is about to burn down.

There's a fault on the network and you need to report it, chances are that even when it comes back it is still very low voltage compared to what it should be.

Happens all the time at my parents due to the dodgy electrical infrastructure, Eskom usually goes straight to the transformer and fiddle with something and we'll be back online until it happens again a couple of months or weeks later.

Is the supply coming from the traffic light?
