o+ in*ury reduced.
c) Doule Insulation. (0)
4he "rinci"le ehind doule insulation is e!actly as suggested&4here are two layers o+ insulation etween the user and any li#e conductors.
4his eliinates the need to "ro#ide earth "rotection/ so douleinsulated
e3ui"ent will ha#e a twocore +le!& li#e (hot) and neutral only. Doule
insulation is coonly used as the eans o+ "rotection +or handheld
"ortale electrical e3ui"ent such as hedge triers.
d) Earthing or grounding. (0)
Earthing is a way o+ "rotecting e3ui"ent so that in the e#ent o+ an electrical
+ault/ current +lows sa+ely to earth rather than +lowing through a "erson who
ight e touching the e3ui"ent. 4he earth wire o+ an ite o+ electrical
e3ui"ent is usually connected to the outer etal casing or chassis o+ the
e3ui"ent. I+ a +ault de#elo"s and the casing or chassis ecoes li#e then a
current will +low down this earth wire. Electricity alwaystakes the "ath o+ least resistance/ and since the earth wire will ha#e #ery low
resistance the a*ority o+ +ault current will +low sa+ely to earth through the
wire. ny "erson touching the casing will recei#e a inor shock.
01. 7ist the +actors when deterining the +re3uency o+ the ins"ection and
testing o+ electrical e3ui"ent at construction sites. (
