室内
Electrical fires in our homes claim lives year after year. 其中一些火灾是由电气系统故障和电器缺陷引起的, 但更多的是由于电器的误用和保养不良造成的, 接线安装错误, and overloaded circuits and extension cords. Remember these tips for a safer home. Take time to walk through your house and look for potential problems.
- 插头应安全地插入插座，插座不应过载. 如果插头似乎不太适合墙壁插座，墙壁插座需要修理. Have an electrician check the outlet. If you have children, cover unused outlets with plastic safety plugs.
- Water and electricity don't mix. Don't place any electrical appliances near water. 在没有拔掉电器插头之前，千万不要伸手去拿掉进水里的电器.
- Make sure the proper plug type is in each outlet. 从来没有 force a plug into an outlet if it does not fit. A better solution is to use a two-prong adapter.
- 检查照明装置中所有灯泡的瓦数，以确保它们的瓦数与灯具的尺寸相符.
- 确保延长线处于良好状态，没有磨损或破裂. Make sure they are placed out of traffic areas. Don't run electrical cords underneath rugs, 地毯或家具，不要把它们钉在墙壁或踢脚板上.
- Check to see that extension cords are not overheated. Only use extension cords on a temporary basis; they are not safe as permanent household wiring.
- 接地故障断路器(gfci)可以防止许多触电. 它们应该在任何可能接触水和电的地方使用, 比如厨房或浴室. 根据制造商的说明定期测试gfci，以确保其正常工作.
- 断路器和熔断器的尺寸应符合电路的要求. If one appliance repeatedly blows a fuse or trips a circuit breaker, or if it has emitted an electric shock, unplug it and have it repaired or replaced.
- 使用空间加热器时, 远离窗帘, 家具和其他易燃物品，不要让它整夜开着.
- 如果您使用延长线，请确保它是重型的，并且状况良好. 另外，确保电线的额定功率能够满足暖气片所需的功率. Don't use household-type extension cords with your space heaters.
- 避免在浴室里使用取暖器，当你周围有水的时候不要碰取暖器.
- 确保你的热水器有一个自动开关，在热水器翻倒时切断电流.
- 使用电热毯时，要注意电线是否有裂缝或断裂. 为了防止过热，确保电热毯上没有任何覆盖物. 从来没有 "tuck in" the sides or ends of your electric blanket.
- 在用刀叉去除粘住的面包或百吉饼之前，先拔掉烤面包机或烤箱的插头.
- 安全节能:当充电器和其他电器不使用时，记得拔掉插头.
户外
当你在户外或在家附近工作时，请遵循这些安全提示. 别忘了 挖之前打个电话 to avoid cutting utility lines.
- 从来没有 remove the third prong of a three-pronged plug. A better solution is to use a two-prong adapter.
- 只使用耐候性, heavy gauge extension cords marked "For 户外 Use," and make sure it is the proper rating for your equipment.
- 从来没有 remove safety guards from lawnmowers, power tools, etc.
- 操作草坪设备时使用护目镜，并按照电动工具手册的建议佩戴相应的安全装备.
- Keep cords out of your path or work area.
- Use caution when operating electrical equipment around water. If an electrical tool comes in contact with water, unplug it first. Do not reach into the water for it.
- 接地故障断路器(gfci)可以防止许多触电. 它们应该在任何可能接触水和电的地方使用——靠近水池, 温泉或喷泉. 根据制造商的说明定期测试gfci，以确保其正常工作.
- 除非你是一名合格的电工，否则不要尝试自己修理电气产品.
发电机的安全
便携式发电机在停电时可以成为救星，但如果使用不当则会致命. 它们会造成火灾、一氧化碳中毒和触电的威胁. 十大国际老虎机平台敦促您遵循这些提示，并在使用前阅读发电机制造商提供的所有信息. 你也可以访问联邦应急管理局 发电机的安全 更多资讯网址.
固定或永久发电机
在电力中断期间，可以使用由持牌电工安装的固定或永久备用发电机，并包括双掷转换开关. 正确安装的转换开关通过将发电机与主电网隔离以防止回馈，有助于保护线路工人.
便携式发电机
不 connect a portable generator to home circuits. Plug appliances directly into the generator. 将便携式发电机连接到家庭电路可能会导致电力流向外部线路, posing a life-threatening danger to restoration crews.
不 在室内、封闭的车库、靠近交流管道或其他封闭区域操作便携式发电机. 在住宅或封闭空间运行的便携式发电机会产生致命的一氧化碳气体.
Additional Portable 发电机的安全 Information:
注意流水线工人
- 请注意公用事业人员，当工作人员在您的区域时，请关闭发电机. 电线上的电力负荷对维修人员来说是危险的.
小心下雨
- 不 run an uncovered portable generator in the rain. 在干燥的室外操作，以避免触电的威胁.
使用电工
- Call an electrician to repair a generator. 从来没有 attempt to repair it yourself.
- 安装固定或备用应急发电机时，一定要有持证电工.
如何使用
- 始终按照制造商的说明，以确保安全和正确的操作.
- 以免触电, plug individual appliances into the generator using heavy-duty, 室外额定电线，其线规足以满足电器负载.
- 不 connect portable generators directly to a breaker panel, 保险丝盒或仪表盒，因为它可能对公用线路工人造成危险.
- Keep children and pets away from generators.
小心火灾
- Obey all local, state and national electrical and fire codes.
- 将汽油储存在经批准的燃料容器中，并置于儿童够不到的地方.
- Have a fully charged, properly rated fire extinguisher (i.e., rated for electrical and gas fires) ready at all times.
- 从来没有 replenish fuel in a generator when it is running.
