What Are the Common Practices for Electrical Safety?
Avoid overloading the household electrical network. Replace old or worn-out wires in time to prevent accidents.
Ensure that the main fuse and branch fuses are set correctly to guarantee appliance safety.
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.
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).
Never connect to public power lines without authorization to avoid emergencies.
Ensure reliable electrical connections to prevent power interruptions.
During home renovations, wires should be concealed in special fire-resistant conduits, and the cross-sectional area of wires must meet load requirements.
When using power tools such as electric drills, always wear insulating gloves.
In case of a household electrical fire, switch off the power supply before extinguishing the fire.
Make sure all household appliances are properly connected; if in doubt, consult an expert.
Install overload fuses and residual current devices (RCDs) to ensure personal safety when using household appliances.
All household appliances must be properly grounded, and a common grounding line should be installed indoors to prevent electric shock.
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.
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.
When using soldering irons or other heating devices, keep them away from flammable materials. Always switch off the power after use.
