In such a case, turn off all electrical appliances, except for room lighting, as a safety precaution for when the power is back on again. If the power goes back on in every home in the neighborhood except your own, please carry out the same operations as you would do when the leakage circuit breaker has activated (please see below). If these operations fail to work, contact your nearest TEPCO customer center. We will send a service staff to your home.

Make sure first that the leakage circuit breaker is     switched off. 2. Turn off all the no-fuse circuit breakers. 3. Make sure that the ampere breaker switch is in the     ON position. 4. Switch on the leakage circuit breaker. 5. Turn on the no-fuse circuit breakers one by one.
