The use of a rice cooker at home is indeed very helpful in the process of cooking rice , so it is fast and easy. However, often the use of this rice cooker causes a new problem, namely electricity that suddenly goes out or dies. This problem is certainly very disruptive to daily activities, especially if it happens repeatedly.
The main cause of electric tripping when using a rice cooker is usually because the kitchen appliance draws quite a lot of electricity, especially during the initial heating. If the electrical installation in the house is unable to accommodate a large load suddenly, the electricity will go out. In addition, the use of several high-power electrical appliances simultaneously can also trigger a power outage.
However, sudden power outages while cooking rice can be caused by other things. A YouTube user KI SALIM RIYADI once explained further through one of the uploaded videos.
As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube KI SALIM RIYADI on Thursday (10/10), some of the reasons that need to be known are because of a large current surge. In addition, using a rice cooker together with a refrigerator or other machine that requires large watts will cause electricity to trip. On the other hand, insufficient electrical power can also affect this.

Another reason is because of the type of meter. Nowadays, many types of pulse meters are used in most homes. Unlike the old-fashioned meters that used disc meters, pulse meters tend to make electricity go out suddenly. Compared to disc meters that are not easy to strip or jeglek. In addition, the lack of grounding in a problematic home wiring system can affect the performance of the electrical voltage. The type of socket used also needs to be considered. Recognize a good socket and not loose. A socket with thin brass will affect the current flowing, so it is not optimal.

On the other hand, the length of the electrical cable used at home and in the rice cooker can also cause the electricity to trip. According to YouTube user KI SALIM RIYADI, the length of the cable determines the resistance of the current to the rice cooker. Well, a cable size that is too small can also have an effect. If it is too small, the cable can heat up quickly and the current that flows is not optimal. Another cause is because the type of MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker) is worn out or of poor quality. MCBs that are not recommended by PLN have an effect, so the reason is that when cooking rice, the electricity easily trips. The solution is to replace the quality MCB recommended by PLN.

Meanwhile, using a rice cooker during peak hours can also cause electricity to drop. Peak electricity usage hours usually occur between 5 pm and 9 pm. Well, peak electricity usage hours affect the use of rice cookers.
