How to cut off electricity in the apartment

Need to cut off electricity in the apartment or the house can be caused by various reasons, beginning from repair of electrical wiring and finishing with de-energization of placements on departure time. Knowledge of subtleties of shutdown allows to carry out quickly and safely this task.

It is required to you

Instruction

1. Ways of power outage depend on type of the protection devices installed on electric guard. For example, in some houses, protection devices still meet normal ceramic safety plugs, or as they are usually called in life, traffic jams. To deenergize the house, it is necessary to turn out stopper on phase wire (normally it is the left stopper). For exception of possible mistakes it is better to turn out both.

2. Instead of normal traffic jams often use the automatic traffic jams rolled in the same cartridges calculated on certain current – for example, 6A. Such stopper turns off giving of tension at short circuit or excess of design current of loading. On automatic stopper there are two buttons: big – the inclusion button, and small – the shutdown button. For shutdown of power voltage press the small button on phase stopper.

3. Much more often in houses and apartments put the circuit breakers calculated on certain current. Such automatic machine is very reliable and convenient. To deenergize wiring in the house, turn the toggle-switch of the time cut-out to position "Off". Consider that fact, that in modern houses and apartments the automatic machines often put separately on different sites of wiring that increases safety and allows to connect higher loading. Switching off the circuit breaker, make sure that you deenergize the necessary site of wiring.

4. In many cases in addition build in OUZO supply circuits – the protection devices which are powering off at big leakage current. They effectively protect the person from defeat by electric current, but have to be established only after the normal circuit breaker. Do not disconnect power voltage by means of OUZO, use for this purpose time cut-out.

5. Having disconnected electricity in the house, before works with electrical wiring surely check availability of line voltage by means of tester. This important safety rule – working with electricity, get used to begin work with check of power voltage. The circuit breaker can be damaged, you can press the toggle-switch not on that switch, etc. Verification of tension will save you from defeat by electric current.
