Electrical Safety
Bayani Gaba-gaba
The mains supply that powers your home is useful and dangerous in equal measure. A frayed cable, a damp room or an overloaded socket can cause a shock or a fire, so every house and appliance is built with layers of protection you may never notice.
In this lesson you will learn the hazards of mains electricity and the safety features that guard against them: the three wires of a mains circuit, why the switch and fuse go in the live wire, how fuses and trip switches work, and why appliances are earthed or double-insulated.
Manufura
- State the hazards of: (a) damaged insulation (b) overheating cables (c) damp conditions (d) excess current from overloading of plugs, extension leads, single and multiple sockets when using a mains supply
- Know that a mains circuit consists of a live wire (line wire), a neutral wire and an earth wire and explain why a switch must be connected to the live wire for the circuit to be switched off safely
- Explain the use and operation of trip switches and fuses and choose appropriate fuse ratings and trip switch settings
- Explain why the outer casing of an electrical appliance must be either non-conducting (double-insulated) or earthed
- State that a fuse without an earth wire protects the circuit and the cabling for a double- insulated appliance

Electrical Safety: Systems and Devices
Electricity has two hazards. A thermal hazard occurs when there is electrical overheating. A shock hazard occurs when electric current passes through a person. Both hazards have already been discussed. Here we will concentrate on systems and devices that prevent electrical hazards. Figure 23.31 show

Electric Hazards and the Human Body
There are two known hazards of electricity—thermal and shock. A thermal hazard is one where excessive electric power causes undesired thermal effects, such as starting a fire in the wall of a house. A shock hazard occurs when electric current passes through a person. Shocks range in severity from pa
