The fire would be extinguished but would leave the area dangerous from electric shock. Eliminate the power source before or immediately after extinguishing the fire with water and do not approach the source of the fire until the power source is completely switched off.

Why does a bladderwrack flops onto the ground?

Well , when it is in the water it floats but the roots are keeping it down however when the water goes it drops because there is gravity.


What is switch onto fault?

A switch onto fault is an electrical fault condition that occurs when a circuit breaker or switch is closed onto a faulted circuit, such as a short circuit. This can lead to a sudden surge of current, potentially causing damage to equipment, overheating, or further faults in the system. Proper protection devices, such as relays, are essential to detect faults and isolate them before a switch can be closed, thereby preventing this dangerous scenario.


What is meant by switch gears in electrical engineering?

To protect the system from faults the equipment used is known as switch gearAnswerSwitchgear is the generic name for transmission and distribution equipment designed control, disconnect, and protect an electrical system. Switchgear includes circuit breakers, fuses, and isolators (US term: disconnectors). As well as being used to control circuits by opening or closing those circuits, circuit breakers are designed to interruptand to close onto electrical faults so must incorporate means of extinguishing the arcing associated with such faults. Circuit breakers, therefore, have a essential role in responding to protection systems. Isolators are non-load breaking switches, designed to isolate equipment (including circuit breakers) from high voltages, so that the equipment can be maintained.


Do you need to use different pipe dies for plumbing than electrical?

YES! There IS a difference.Plumbing dies cut a thread tapered from start to finish at the rate of 3/4" in 12 inches, usually 3/4" of thread length on 1/2" or 3/4" pipe.Conduit uses the same size thread with all the taper in a very short distance at the pipe-end of the thread so that the thread is straight and a lock-nut or coupling may thread all the way onto the pipe without binding and without the use of a wrench.I've been doing electrical since 1947, and still at it.The Old Fat Man

Why does fire go out when water is thrown onto it when water contains the two things a fire needs hydrogen and oxygen?

This is due to the weight of the water on the fire and the difference of temperature. water is one of the few substances that cannot burn.


How does fire affect water?

Water doesn't always make fire worse. If you get a candle light on fire and pour a bucket of water on it, it will stop burning. Fire can make the water evaporate if you pour too little water onto a blaze of fire. Technically, it depends on how much water you use.

What happens if you spray oil onto fire?

Spraying oil onto a fire can cause the flames to spread rapidly and intensify, creating a larger and more dangerous fire. This is because oil is highly flammable and can ignite quickly when exposed to a flame. It is not recommended to use oil to try to extinguish a fire.

How does a fire hose stop a fire?

A fire hose is used to stop a fire by its ability to transfer water. The hose will deliver water from a source through a nozzle and onto the flames. We typically find a hose connected to a pump, which provides water under pressure. The hose will deliver that pressurized water to the nozzle, and a firefighter can direct the stream as needed.
