What are the different electrical precautionary measures?

Answer 1

When working with electricity, always err on the side of caution. Disconnect the power source and place your lock on the breaker. Double check the disconnection before beginning work. Use tools made to insulate from electrical shock.

Answer 2

• Assume that all overhead wires are energized at lethal voltages. Never assume that a wire is safe to touch even if it is down or appears to be insulated.
• Never touch a fallen overhead power line. Call the electric utility company to report fallen electrical lines.
• Stay at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from overhead wires during cleanup and other activities. If working at heights or handling long objects, survey the area before starting work for the presence of overhead wires.
• If an overhead wire falls across your vehicle while you are driving, stay inside the vehicle and continue to drive away from the line. If the engine stalls, do not leave your vehicle. Warn people not to touch the vehicle or the wire. Call or ask someone to call the local electric utility company and emergency services.
• Never operate electrical equipment while you are standing in water.
• Never repair electrical cords or equipment unless qualified and authorized.
• Have a qualified electrician inspect electrical equipment that has gotten wet before energizing it.
• If working in damp locations, inspect electric cords and equipment to ensure that they are in good condition and free of defects, and use a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
• Always use caution when working near electricity.

Answer 4

Two major considerations...

1. Avoid having electricity go through your body! This means being sure anything you can touch on an electrical appliance is connected to ground, and that all power is turned off before you do any work on wiring, outlets, etc. Also use Ground Fault Interrupter protection on circuits in damp places.

2. Avoid overloading or short circuits which can cause fires! Proper fuses or circuit breakers on all circuits, and wiring, cords, plugs, and appliances in good condition.

Answer 5

There are many examples of precautionary measure about electricity. Use of fuses, circuit breakers, insulators and so on is a good example. There are many hazards that are associated with electricity.

Answer 6

1. Don't touch any wires, 2. Use equipment that is correcly earthed. 3. Use a correctly set circuit breaker or fuse, 4. Make sure the power is turned off before doing any maintenance or alterations, 5. Use appliances of the correct voltage and power rating.

Answer 7

Safety precaution in electricity is very critical as it prevents hazards. This is ensuring that you do not come into direct contact with live electric current which might cause fatality.

Answer 8

Always unplug them before working on them.
Keep them out of water.

Answer 9

Read your appliance manual.
