【Safety Experience Sharing】Ten Things to Avoid When Using Electricity Safely in Summer”

Thread Content

1.jpg Summer is a peak period for electricity consumption, as well as a time when electrical accidents are more likely to occur. To reduce the incidence of such accidents, the following ten guidelines for electrical safety are provided for reference only. First, never use your hands to move machines or electrical devices that are still in operation and powered on; if movement is necessary, turn off the power first or unplug the device. Second, never attempt to repair machines or electrical equipment while they are still powered on; if repair must be done while the device is powered on, proper protective measures must be taken. Third, never use electrical devices or machines for extended periods without installing a leakage circuit breaker. Fourth, never continue to use machines or electrical devices after they have become wet or exposed to water. Fifth, never allow untrained personnel to install electrical or mechanical equipment without ensuring proper grounding. Sixth, never replace fuses with wires made of copper or iron or other high-power conductors. Seventh, never leave connections between wires, electrical devices, and mechanical equipment exposed without providing insulation. Eighth, never wipe down powered electrical devices or mechanical equipment with damp cloths or towels. Ninth, never fail to replace damaged switch covers in distribution boxes promptly. Tenth, never run too many air conditioners at the same time, as this can cause short circuits and fires.
