I have no power to my sockets what should i do?

First go to the fuse board and see what has tripped. The fuse board is usually located next to the electric meter.Then check which circuit has tripped for sockets if not labelled its usually a 32/30 amp or 20amp or 16 amp. If a circuit breaker has tripped or a fuse has blown then check whats plugged into the sockets , look for any damage to appliances and unplug . If the fuseboard is old with fuse wires i would recommend you contact an electrician. If you have a switched fuse then try resetting it if it still trips then contact an electrician.If its the RCD (large switch with test button) see below.

How do you repair an RCD ? RCD keeps tripping how can I fix it ?

An RCD usually trips / keeps going to the down position because of something that has been plugged in . You should unplug everthing from the wall and check the appliances . If you are using an appliance , especially one that uses water , then it is likely to be that . Reset the RCD , if it still trips then call an emergency electrician . If the RCD stays " up " then switch off , plug the appliances in one by one turning the power off each time . If it trips again (use a radio or tv to listen) then you can eliminate the faulty appliance . Do not use this appliance again and have it checked by the manufacturer or an appliance electrician .
