Electricity is one of the main causes of accidents and fires in the home. To avoid such dangerous accidents, it is important to handle electrical appliances correctly and to be aware of certain signs of potential danger in relation to electrical appliances.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Every electrical appliance should be used at a sufficient distance from other appliances and walls. If there is not enough space, the motor overheats easily as it cannot cool down through air circulation. This is particularly important for refrigerators, tumble dryers and microwave ovens.
It goes without saying that highly flammable material should never be placed too close to a heat source.<\/p>\n
Cables and plugs should be checked for cracks and defects each time before plugging them in. Household appliances in basements should be checked regularly to see whether mice have damaged the cables.<\/p>\n
If a fuse blows, you should find out which appliance caused the short circuit by plugging and unplugging the appliance. The appliance in question should be removed from the mains plug immediately and repaired.<\/p>\n
Beware of burning cables. Even a subtle odour of burnt rubber or plastic is a dangerous warning sign. The fuse does not always blow in time before the charred cable ignites itself or surrounding materials.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Discolouration in the socket outlet is a sign of power overload. It is essential to remove some devices from the network of this socket.<\/p>\n
Other signs of damage to electrical cables or devices are loose contacts, flickering light bulbs or minor electric shocks when touching certain devices.<\/p>\n
If damage occurs to the cable or appliance, an electrician should be called as soon as possible or the damaged part should be removed from the power supply immediately.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
