Electric lighting and household electric heater fire
prevention from installations.
The main cause of fires from electricity is a short circuit, an overload of the network. To avoid such situations, the electrical wiring should be kept in good condition, and to prevent fires from short-circuiting and overloading the network in the network (switching on several electrical installations at once), factory-made fuses must be installed on the switchboard.
If you connect a homemade fuse (“bug") made of thick wire to the power supply, it will not melt in case of a short circuit. If this is the case “the "protection" will not work, and the network will remain under current.
In this case, the wires are heated to melt, the insulation ignites, the fire spreads to the surrounding combustibles and a fire starts.
Therefore, it is always necessary to use only factory fuses. A short circuit can also occur in the power grid. It must be in proper condition.
The fire can also be from an electric lamp, the tungsten wire of which, when heated, emits a lot of heat. To avoid fire, stun guns should not touch paper or fabric lampshades.
Fires most often occur from household electrical installations made at the factory. If you connect several such installations to the power grid at once, this will allow you to overload and warm up the electrical wiring. The insulation ignites, and the fire spreads along the wire to various objects. If used incorrectly, a fire can only occur from one electric heating system (iron, kettle, heater, etc.).
And so the devices connected to the network, you can not leave unattended and entrust their supervision to small children. The installation should not be placed on top of flammable objects, nor should it be turned on near highly flammable objects such as curtains, wooden partitions, etc.
