SAFETY OF TOOLS & EQUIPMENTS

Mostly tools & equipments operate with

electricity tools & equipments must be kept in in good condition + equipped with safety features. tools & equipments must be insulated &

3 methods:
3.Protectiv e device

1.Insulation

2.Earthing

Insulation
Method of isolating

electrical conductor using insulator to prevent current flowing. Insulator have high resistance Examples of insulator:

Earthing
Method connecting metal

parts to ground in electrical circuit Purpose: protect user from electrical shock when there is a leak of current, earthing system

Protective device
Use to break the circuit,

where there is an over flow of currents.

E.g: fuse & circuit breaker
