Electricity issue!

skljom

Hi, I have home electric heating system, it is a box with a pump, water reservoir with heating element and it is connected to my home radiators. When it is turning off it fizzles for 5-10-15 seconds and in that time my monitor (philips 220e 22'' 1920x1080p @ 60Hz) picture starts to shake and becomes noisy, after that my picture becomes blurry and it smears to the right side.. How to fix this? The heating system is connected to different wire, every room is connected to its own fuse in fusebox. I am using 220V, 50Hz (europe) three-phase current. It seems like it can damage my monitor... I am also using some cheap extension cord.

UPS would be one option. Or the extension cords that have protections.

It might, but it's hard to tell.

but why is heating system affecting other electric components? What it creates in that 5-10 seconds to make this mess?

three phase? are you really sure? how much power is delivered to your home? if it is three phase try looking for which one of the phases is powering the heater and which one is powering the monitor. try to put the monitor on one phase and the heater on another one because it (the heater) might introduce some noise on that line (phase).

It draws a lot of power so it takes a moment for everything to adjust, the same reason your lights dim slightly when you turn on your vacuum cleaner or electric kettle

1) if you have three-phase, try to find which phase is linked to which wall socket so you can alternate the phase you are on (if available).

2) UPS.

I am not electrician, I have no idea how it is connected. I know that every room is on different fuse in my house fuse box for safety reasons :/. Is this it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brownout_%28electricity%29 ?

this never happens, like never. I can turn on my heating system, my water boiler, my oven and it doesn't dim the lights. I tested it. The only thing this heating is affecting is my monitor

Then your monitors AC-DC converter is messed up.

yes, dont touch it unless you know what you are doing. or, try plugging a power extension cord in another room in your house (the further from the room in which the pc and the heater is the better) and plug the monitor in it. chances are that you will powe the monitro from another phase but that's not always true.
