  1. Avoid overloading the household electrical network. Replace old or worn-out wires in time to prevent accidents.

  2. Ensure that the main fuse and branch fuses are set correctly to guarantee appliance safety.

  3. When connecting a temporary power supply, always use high-quality cables, plugs, and sockets to ensure safety. Do not use damaged wires, and make sure wire connections are insulated with electrical tape.

  4. When temporary wires are close to high-voltage lines, maintain a safe distance (10kV and below – 0.7m; 35kV – 1m; 110kV – 1.5m; 220kV – 3m; 500kV – 5m).

  5. Never connect to public power lines without authorization to avoid emergencies.

  6. Ensure reliable electrical connections to prevent power interruptions.

  7. During home renovations, wires should be concealed in special fire-resistant conduits, and the cross-sectional area of wires must meet load requirements.

  8. When using power tools such as electric drills, always wear insulating gloves.

  9. In case of a household electrical fire, switch off the power supply before extinguishing the fire.

  10. Make sure all household appliances are properly connected; if in doubt, consult an expert.

  11. Install overload fuses and residual current devices (RCDs) to ensure personal safety when using household appliances.

  12. All household appliances must be properly grounded, and a common grounding line should be installed indoors to prevent electric shock.

  13. Do not touch appliances with wet hands or wipe them with a damp cloth while in use. Always switch off the power before repairing appliances.

  14. Electric heaters and heating devices should be kept away from gas cylinders and pipelines. In case of a gas leak, ventilate immediately and contact professionals for repair.

  15. When using soldering irons or other heating devices, keep them away from flammable materials. Always switch off the power after use.
