ELECTRIC SHOCK

By,ARUN TEJA GODAVARTHI

What is electric shock?

Electric shock is the physiological reaction or injury caused by electric current passing through the (human) body.

How can we PREVENT Electric shock?

1. Never mix water and electricity. 2. Pay attention to what your appliances are telling

you. 3. Make sure you’re using the right size circuit breakers

and fuses4. Ensure effective GROUNDING.5. Install Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI). 6. Avoid cube taps and other outlet-stretching devices7. Replace missing or broken wall plates, switches,

plugs, etc.8. Keep electrically powered yard-care tools dry9. Match the light bulb’s wattage rating to the lamp10.Be kind to your cords

1.Never mix water and electricity. 

Always keep electrical appliances away from water and moisture.

2. Pay attention to what your appliances are telling you. 

When an appliance repeatedly trips a circuit breaker, blows a fuse, or gives you shocks,…….!!!!!!! it’s not just a coincidence !!!!!!!

3. Make sure you’re using the right size circuit breakers and fuses

 If fuses and circuit breakers aren’t the right size and wattage rating to match the specifications of their circuits, they’re going to fail right when you most need them to perform.

4. Ensure effective GROUNDING.

Grounding or Earthing … Means getting backup from underground when above fail….. <<<<BACKUP>>>>

5. Install Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI). 

GFCI receptacles are a requirement anywhere that electrical outlets and water will be in close proximity to one another. GFCIs detect current leakages (or ground faults) in electrical circuits – such as would occur when a powered device made contact with water. The GFCI then shuts off power to that receptacle almost instantaneously, preventing electrical shock, burns, and electrocution

STILL

Heeeeeee…..YES

1. Shock theraphy.

2. Emergency Cases … It’s a life saver

Nothing matters more than life of a person…. Does it…..

Everything (bad) has something good in iT......Only had to be found.

Simple as it gets.
