What were stirrup pumps used for in World War 2?
Uesd for putting out fires caused by incendiary bombs, part of fire watcher equipment
Why are patients earthed during an operation?
Patients are earthed during an operation primarily to prevent electric shock and ensure safety when using electrosurgical devices. Grounding helps to redirect stray electrical currents away from the patient's body, reducing the risk of burns or other injuries caused by unintended electrical discharge. Additionally, proper grounding can enhance the effectiveness of surgical instruments that rely on electrical energy.
How did the development of new technology affect world war 2?
RADAR and many other new technologies helped to defeat the Japanese and Germans because they did not have as sophisticated equipment of the same items as the Allied Forces had. The Atomic Bomb technology caused the Allied Forces to win in the Pacific.
What conflict has Hitler caused?
He caused World War 2.
How is dysentery caused?
Dysentery is a bowel infection caused by a pathogen. Bacterial, viral or protist.
As you treat an Airman for an electrical burn caused by a wiring short in a piece of flightline equipment, you remember to?

What is the importance of computer assembly?
It's important because not only will it not work properly. But can also cause damage to the equipment or the individual. Many electrical fires are caused by incorrect use/assembly of electrical equipment
What majority of injuries due to electrical shock are caused by?
The majority of injuries due to electrical shock are caused by direct contact with energized electrical systems or equipment. These shocks occur when the body becomes part of the electrical circuit, leading to burns, nerve damage, and other serious injuries.
How many fires were caused by plug sockets in 2010?
There were an estimated 5,100 fires caused by electrical distribution equipment including plug sockets in the United States in 2010.
How do you treat for an electrical burn caused by a wiring short in a piece of equipment?
The first thing you need to do to treat an electrical burn is to rinse the area with water. After you have it rinsed, cover it with a bandage.
What causes an electric humming sound in equipment?
The sounds are caused by the oscillations of the frequency changing from positive to negative when voltage is applied to electrical equipment.See related links below.
What is an electrical fault?
Some people will define the cause of an electrical fault as a "short circuit" but that is too simple an explanation because it doesn't explain how it is caused. An electrical fault is the name given to any situation where some electrical current goes where it was not intended to go. This situation can be caused by damage to the protective insulation around a wire - or around some other part - which puts the wire or part in contact with a different wire or part that it was not designed to touch because a difference in voltage has to exist between them to allow an item of electrical equipment to do its work. If an item of electrical equipment gets dropped accidentally - or if something else hits it violently - that action can easily damage the insulation material or close an air gap that was designed to keep two parts electrically separate within that item of equipment. Another way an electrical fault can be caused is by physical deterioration of some insulation. Such deterioration can be caused by many factors such as, for example, the temperature of the equipment being too high or if some unprotected equipment is exposed to wet or damp conditions. Such factors can put stresses on the insulation which it was not designed to withstand and it breaks down and causes an electrical fault to occur. If an item of electrical equipment (or an electrical wiring circuit which connects different pieces of equipment together) is properly designed, then, if an electrical fault occurs, protective circuit breakers should trip and/or fuses should blow to stop the flow of any excessive current that is the result of the electrical fault, thus helping to prevent any fires and/or explosions from happening because the fault occurred.
What are some of the reasons why electrical insulators are important to us?
Electrical insulators are important to prevent electric shocks and fires by blocking the flow of electricity. They also help maintain the efficiency and reliability of electrical systems by preventing leakage of current. Additionally, insulators are essential for protecting equipment and machinery from damage caused by electrical surges.
Why protection of electrical systems is important?
Protection of electrical systems is important to prevent overheating, fires, and damage to equipment. It helps ensure continued operation of the systems, protects against electrical shocks, and enhances overall safety for people and property. Proper protection measures such as circuit breakers, fuses, and grounding can minimize risks and disruptions caused by electrical failures.
A is a sudden increase or spike in electrical energy affecting the current that flows to electrical outlets?
A is a power surge, which can be caused by lightning strikes, tripped circuit breakers, or issues with the power company. It can damage electronic devices and appliances connected to the electrical system. Use surge protectors to safeguard your equipment.
Homeowners buy surge protectors to protect their possessions from unexpected surges of what?
Surge protectors are used to protect electrical devices and appliances from voltage spikes or surges caused by fluctuations in the electrical supply. These surges can be caused by lightning strikes, power outages, or grid disturbances, and can damage or destroy electronics and other sensitive equipment in a home.
What is the purpose of the Square D HEPD80 surge protector and how does it protect electrical systems?
The Square D HEPD80 surge protector is designed to protect electrical systems from power surges caused by lightning strikes or other electrical disturbances. It works by diverting excess voltage away from sensitive equipment, such as computers and appliances, to prevent damage.
