When you build an infrastructure; or renovate your house, you need to hire an engineer, architect, and even an interior designer. Somehow, you forget to hire an electrical professional engineer. Believe it or not, they are as important as your engineer and architect. They make sure all your electrical work is hazard proof. But what if you fail to consult with electrical engineering services?
Here are the hazards of poor electrical work at home and office:
1.Defective wires and inadequate wiring
Inadequate wiring is the most common cause of house fires. Defective and exposed wires can cause accidents, such as fire and electrocution.
On the other hand, poor wiring, such as using the inappropriate size of wires for different electrical loads, causes overheating and fire.
An electrical engineer bearing a LEW license checks your wiring, performs a regular risk assessment, and replaces old and worn out wires.
2.Overloaded circuit
The electrical circuit is the entire connection network of your electrical devices at home or office. When you get more electricity than needed, a circuit overload may happen.
Generally, the circuit breaker cuts this connection network to prevent overloading. Otherwise, the extra loads of current generate heat, burn the wires, and start a fire.
An electrical consultant in Singapore will take safety steps to prevent overloaded circuits.
3.Wet locations
Electrical outlets and plugs near wet areas, such as aquariums, or electrical devices underwater, such as swimming pool lights, are fire hazards.
Water is a great electricity conductor. The contact of water and exposed conductors inside an outlet cause corrosion. The corrosion generates heat and causes circuit overload, leading to a fire.
On the other hand, water can cause electrocution as well
.4Damaged insulation
Wire insulation is the coloured rubber material covering and holding the copper wires together. Damaged insulation of live wires can cause fire and electrocution upon contact.
Electrical engineering services ensure all your wirings are at the standards and conduct risk assessments.
Don't put your family and staff at risk.
