How to proceed correctly if the wiring is lit up
The most common cause of a fireElectrical wiring is a violation of the rules for the operation of electrical appliances and electricity. Feeling the smell of melting plastic, many people do not know how to behave in this situation. Rule number one: in no case can not flood the fire with water.
Causes leading to fire-hazardous situations
The ignition of the wiring may be caused byvarious reasons, including: - the use of substandard fuses to protect the network - the failure of the insulation of electrical wiring components - the impact of rodents - unprofessional installation of the power grid. If the organization of electrical wiring is carried out in accordance with the PUE, the failure-free operation of the network is ensured for several decades . Operation of faulty devices, network overload, mechanical interference can cause damage to wiring and fires. Types of wiring damage
The main types of damage are cliffs,breaks of veins and closures. If there is a fire in the wiring, the first thing to do is immediately turn off the current and remove the plugs from the sockets. There are times when access to switches is complicated. Then it is necessary to cut off wires by any insulated tool. If concerns about the reliability of the wiring are fully justified, it is better to completely replace it. When triggering automatic devices, you need to inspect the electrical panel, in particular, the terminals. It is strictly forbidden to touch anything with your hands. The darkening of the machine is a sign that it needs to be replaced. Closing can occur due to the simultaneous switching on of powerful devices. It is necessary to determine which devices were switched on at the time of automatic protection. The most common cause of a fire in the wiring is a power cord failure. To prevent serious consequences, check the sockets with the machine switched off. When a source of ignition is detected, electricity is turned off first and the outlet is disassembled with a screwdriver. Then the damaged wires are gently separated by the pliers. Most often, the fire takes place on the cord of irons. In this case, immediately disconnect the appliance from the mains, cover the flame with a rag and remove the fire. Do not panic if the open cable suddenly lights up. The electricity supply is switched off immediately and the place of sunbathing is covered with earth (many houses have flower pots). When eliminating the fires of electrical wiring, it should be remembered that soldering or connecting various wires can only be carried out in the junction boxes. That is, if the wiring is broken under the plaster, it is necessary to replace the damaged area, and not simply to connect the ends of the wire. The use of modern automatic fuses allows you to save property, and often people's lives.
