Check before shock:

Electrocute, electrical shock & electrical fault
Can they be prevented?

 

          Accidents caused by the electrical system, whether it be a leak, electric shock or electric shock, may cause loss of life and property. But these problems can be prevented. Just pay attention to the electrical system in the home. And do you know how different electrical leaks, electric shocks, and electrical shocks are? Today Lekise will take you to get to know electrical leaks, electric shocks, electric shocks first in order to prepare for dealing with them.

What is a Electrical leak?

           Leakage is when electrical current leaks from an electrical circuit to the outside, such as the surface of a wire or the metal frame of an electrical appliance. If touched, it can cause death. The cause of an electrical leak can be caused by many reasons, such as wiring and electrical systems that are not up to adequate standards. Lack of inspection and maintenance of electrical equipment. Incorrect use Including the deterioration of the insulation of electrical equipment that has been used for a long time. which is the point where the electrical leakage occurs There will be electric current flowing until heat builds up and if the heat accumulates for a long time. will cause addiction Fire until it can cause a fire.

 

What is electric shock?

          Electric shock is a danger that occurs because of an electrical leak. It occurs when the body touches electrical equipment or wires. Where the equipment or wires are in an imperfect condition, are broken, have damaged wire insulation, or are wet, causing electric current to flow through the body and into the ground. As a result, the muscles within the body will tense, have burns, convulsions, loss of consciousness, and may cause the heart to work abnormally. and dance softly Until he stopped dancing and eventually died.

 

How to help someone who is being electrocuted?

           The first thing you should do is to cut off the electricity as quickly as possible by unplugging the plug, turning off the switch, or turning off the breaker. before going to help For the safety of assistants and those being helped You should not come into direct contact with the person being sucked unless the electricity has been cut off. or while the body is wet This is because water may conduct electricity and cause the person who goes to help to be electrocuted as well.

           In the case where the power cannot be cut off It is recommended to use electrical insulating equipment such as cloth, leather, wood to pull the electrocuted person out of the area of the electric shock. and provide first aid and send to the hospital immediately.


 

What is an electric shock?

           Electric shock is caused by a short circuit (Short Circuit) from the transfer of electric current from one wire flowing through it to other lines without passing through the load equipment. or any electrical appliances Resulting in abnormal electrical flow. and heat builds up at the point where there is a short circuit and may cause sparks and fires. The most common cause found is damaged insulation of the wires. Or the wires accidentally touched each other.

           Electrical shocks are often caused by damage to various equipment such as electrical wires, electrical equipment, or the use of electrical equipment that is not up to standard. This electric shock is the main problem. That causes a lot of danger. Because it may cause a fire to occur as well.

 

 

Electrical leakage, electric shocks, electrocuted, How can they be prevented?

         LeKise would like to introduce a method to detect and prevent dangers from electrical accidents, electrical leaks, electric shocks, or electrocuted. How can we observe and prevent them for safety?
 
  • Always check electrical appliances.
Got electrocuted when using electrical appliances. Whenever we touch a device or electrical appliance that has metal components and an electric shock occurs, it means that this electrical appliance has a leakage of electrical current. Therefore, we should always check electrical appliances. Especially electrical appliances that require the use of a handle, such as microwave ovens, washing machines, and refrigerators.

Check using an electrical screwdriver. An easy way to check electrical equipment. and electrical appliances is to use an electric screwdriver Touch the metal body of the appliance. If the light inside the handle lights up Shows that there is an electrical leak. Stop using it immediately.
 
  • Check the electricity meter.
Initially, you can do a test by turning off various electrical devices in the house, turning off every light switch. Including unplugging all electrical appliances, breakers, or cutouts within the home. Then check whether the electricity meter is still turning or not? Normally, the meter will continue rotating when electricity is used. which if we have turned off all electrical appliances The meter is still working. This means that inside your home there may be an electrical leak or a short circuit to the ground. You must hurry to the officials or electricians. Check to find the cause and fix it immediately.
 
  • Electricity bills are abnormally high.
When there is an electrical leak Causing the use of electricity to increase. Therefore, if we use electrical appliances each day normally But I still feel that the cost of electricity has increased. Therefore, you should check whether there is an electrical leak or not.
 
  • The house is hotter than normal.
If the temperature inside the house is higher than normal. An electrical leak is another cause that can cause the temperature inside the house to rise. This is because electricity circulates into the ground through electrically conductive materials, resulting in heat building up.
 
  • Install an electrical system with a ground wire.
Ground wire (Earthing System) is a wire connected from electrical equipment. Provide a path that can carry the electrical current that has leaked into the ground. It is important and is the main measure to help prevent danger from electrical leakage. Because when we come into contact with electrical equipment that has electrical current leaking out. Electric current will flow from the electrical equipment through to the ground. instead of flowing through our body keep us from harm
 
  • Check the electrical wires
Check the electrical wires to see if any parts are damaged or not? If found, quickly replace it. Especially wires in places that cannot be seen, such as wires hidden in the ceiling that may deteriorate with age. In the case that the cable is not covered with a conduit Mice may have chewed the insulation. Until the power cord breaks
 
  • Check the electrical outlet.
Check the electrical outlet to see if there are any signs of looseness, cracks, or burns? If the socket is loose It is recommended to tighten the screws as before. But if there are cracks or burn marks found, it is recommended to change it. and should be checked by using a screwdriver to measure electricity and test it

           Caution: Avoid touching electrical equipment. or electrical appliances while the body is wet or standing in a wet place Especially the metal parts of electrical equipment. It is recommended to use electrically insulating materials on the floor such as wooden sheets, rubber sheets, plastic sheets, cloth to block the flow of electric current and if there is a suspicion of an electrical leak. Use a screwdriver to check the light and check the contact points first. You should not be careless because if the power leak exceeds 30 milliamps or more. May cause severe bodily injury and death.

          In addition to various checking methods As mentioned above, Lekise recommends The most convenient and safest way is to install an electrical leakage protection device. Leakage current cutter Automatic power cut-off system (Residual Current Device: RCD) or choose to use a consumer unit cabinet. There is an RCBO main breaker to protect against electrical leaks, electric shocks, overloads, and short circuits. It is considered another way to help reduce accidents that may occur from electricity. Because electrical leakage will be checked by a power cut-off device. and cut off electricity immediately when there is a short circuit The ground wire will help carry the electrical leakage. to flow underground This ensures that the person holding the device will not be electrocuted.
 

LeKise Consumer Unit (RCBO and MCB) protects against electrical leaks, electric shocks, overloads and short circuits.

          It is a device that combines the properties of an RCBO main breaker that can withstand short-circuit currents. Before cutting or tripping, the IC must have a value of not less than 10kA according to IEC 60898. This helps prevent excess electrical voltage. That may cause an electrical short circuit. and can be dangerous to electrical appliances in the home.

 

          and circuit breakers (MCBs) provide maximum safety by opening or closing electrical circuits The circuit breaker will cut off electricity when a short circuit occurs. It can automatically cut off the circuit when there is a leakage current of 15 milliamps and 30 milliamps, suitable for protecting residents from electrical shocks. and prevent electrical leakage of electrical equipment outside the building. Can cut off power only at the point where there is a problem. The lights didn't go out in the whole house. Make it safe and comfortable.
