ᐅ Identify the Electrical Circuit / Meter in a Multi-Family Building

There are nine fuses, right? One is positioned deeper than the others? (See photo)

This requires planning because of the fridge/freezer combo, etc.

I would start by setting up a working group to develop a risk and contingency plan for a 5-minute power outage affecting the fridge. It's a delicate matter...

There are two gas boilers in the basement (one per tenant). Could be tricky.

Just turn them off. What’s the issue? Then you can also check which meter they’re connected to. They need electricity too (maybe they’re already on your breakers — you’ll notice if the breakers trip).

The lower one isn’t a standard breaker. That’s the (long outdated) RCD. Otherwise, you counted correctly—there are nine. You could even find out what each breaker controls by turning them off one by one calmly.

Yes, our boiler could be turned off then.

We’ll see when I get to that.

It will probably take a while for the meter to increase by 1 if it’s only for LIGHT.

Look for 300-watt light bulbs on classifieds or online. Then it will go faster.

Truly, truly, a profound issue.

Take another close look at your meter: next to the number, there should be a small blinking LED or a symbol on the LCD indicating that electricity is being consumed. This usually lights up even with a low load.

Otherwise, as @nordanney said: create demand, and it will react quickly.

But not the indicator light (marketed as turn signal)
It definitely flashes
