Manage episode 325710130 series 3294436
If you take the right measures, electrical work around the house is safe. The first guideline of electric shock prevention is to turn off the power to whatever you're working on. But it isn't always that easy. Even when turned off, some items in the home generate an electric charge. Some projects involve the usage of electricity, thus there is a chance of becoming electrocuted while working. It's also crucial to know how to turn off electrical appliances and equipment to avoid electric shock, which can happen even if you're not touching any wire cables. We will discover how to avoid electrical shocks in this post:
1. Moisture and water should be kept away from the appliances: Electric appliances such as air dryers and cell phone chargers should not be used in the bathroom or anywhere else where they may come into touch with water. Water is highly conductive and can cause an electrical shock if touched. When an electrical appliance is submerged in water, the water body becomes dangerous. Not to mention that if the appliance is near dampness, it will be ruined. It could also cause a short circuit, so if you insist on having one, the bathroom installation experts suggest using thick insulation and GFI outlets to mitigate the risk.
2. Under no circumstances should you connect or disconnect while under load: When an appliance is connected to a circuit and is turned on, the circuit is said to be 'under load.' This indicates that the gadget is consuming electricity, which is flowing from the circuit to the appliance and back to the circuit wiring. If you try to unplug the gadget while it's on, an arc may form due to the passage of electricity. This is extremely risky and can result in an electric shock.
