There were several dead curcuits around the house this morning after an
electrical storm. I reset all the breakers, including the main 200 amp
breaker. After messing around with the breakers I noticed that whenever
the AC blower comes on, the other circuits wake up and began working.
When I turn the AC breaker off, the other circuits turn off too. I don't
have a new breaker handy so I switched the AC breaker with a breaker from
another circuit that I know was working, and it didn't help at all. The
panel is a 2 years old Seimans.

Thnaks for any advice.


You have lost one of the two hot legs coming in. The problem could be in the
main breaker, but more than likely it's outside. Contact your electric
utility company, and in the mean time turn off all 240 volt circuits

Thta's what an electrician I called this morning suggested. I'm
waiting for the power company to get back to me. Thanks!
