What will happen if water spills into your keyboard?
The ninjas will come and send an electrical shock through it.
Why is it important to use the correct fire fighting equipment for Electrical and Non electrical fires?
Water conducts electricity and is therefore contraindicated for use on energized electrical equipment, however it is much cheaper than the chemicals that can be used on energized equipment making it more economical when water is able to be used. Similarly water should not be used on grease fires as it will spread out the grease and the fire rather than smothering it.
What should you do if you accidentally spill water near electrical equipment?
Switch off the electrical instrument immediately and dry up the water visible to you and if the water has seeped inside the instrument then you should leave it to dry in the sun for a couple of days before you use it again. Make sure that the instruments fry before you plug it back.
Why is special fire fighting equipment needed for electrical and non electrical fires?
Water conducts electricity and is therefore contraindicated for use on energized electrical equipment, however it is much cheaper than the chemicals that can be used on energized equipment making it more economical when water is able to be used. Similarly water should not be used on grease fires as it will spread out the grease and the fire rather than smothering it. Water if pure without contaminants does not conduct . Having stated that electrical fire can hardly be contained by water since the air itself will conduct electrons by ionization. So to contain an electrical fire a the oxygen must be removed and water will not do that.
Why should a water fire extimguisher not be used for putting out a fire in electrical equipment?
Water conducts electricity So the current could go back up the stream of water and electrocute the user
What is the primary reason not to work on electrical equipment in a damp area?
Working on electrical equipment in a damp area can increase the risk of electric shock. Water is a good conductor of electricity and can lead to short circuits or malfunctions in the equipment, posing a serious safety hazard. It is important to ensure that the area is dry before handling electrical equipment to prevent accidents.
Why is water dangerous near a computer?
