    The neutral side with the 2 black wires goes around the house to supply all the N in the outlets(i think thay split up under the roof), i allready have a multimeter, the voltage is now 225 volts so thats ok, i still got some L shifting around on the N wires or other way around, the guy from the power company comes tomorrow and checks it all.

    iam now not so sure thats its only my house as the 2. house down from me had the same problems(voltage drops and short power outs), maybe the transformer sends out some negative volts on the N wire, well ill know alot more tomorrow...

    now i will unpack my back, i was 5 min away from going to sleep at a hotel(i need aircon when i sleep lol), and also no power means no water as i use a tank system and a pump.

    Just an update, it all works now, it was 3 things in all that was wrong, 1. the powerouts came from a loose wire 100 meters down the road, 2. the N and L was put in wrong from the meter, 3. the N wire from meter was put on the N rail insted of tru the main breaker.

    This guy from the power company did relly know what he was doing, all fixet in less than an hour, cost me 400 bath.

    and Thx to ryan for trying to help me:very good:

    Mash, happy to hear everything is fixed. I used an Austrian electrician to completely rewire my house and change out the box & breakers as well. If you start having problems again, let me know and I can put you in touch with him.
    :cheers2:
