When a small power distribution unit fails, repairs require care and expertise to ensure the safety and proper operation of the electrical system. Here are some common repair steps:

Power outage: First, never attempt repair work unless the power source has been disconnected. Turning off the main circuit breaker or cutting the power cord is a necessary safety step.

Locating the fault: Try to determine the specific location and nature of the fault by examining the circuit diagram and carefully observing the inside of the electrical box. Possible faults include open circuit, short circuit, overload or component damage.

Replace damaged parts: Depending on the type of fault, replace or repair damaged wires, circuit breakers, or other components. Be sure to use replacement parts of the correct specification.

Check wiring: Check all connections and wiring to make sure they are tight and not loose or corroded.

Perform a test: Before reconnecting the power, perform an electrical test on the repaired electrical box to make sure everything is functioning properly. Use appropriate test equipment to check voltage, current, and ground connections.

Safety Standards: Repairs must comply with local electrical safety standards and regulations. If you're not sure how to repair it or if you have a complex problem, it's best to call a professional electrician for repairs.

Preventive measures: To avoid future failures, regularly inspect and maintain small power distribution unites to ensure the electrical system is in good working order.

Importantly, if you are new to electrical work or unsure of how to deal with a fault, it is best to hire a qualified electrician to carry out the repair work to ensure a safe and correct repair. Electrical work can involve hazards and careless handling can result in serious injury or risk of fire.
