Sometimes,
we call electricity
emergency Sydney
services in
Australia when we are not supposed to and sometimes we endanger our
lives by believing in false things. Your electrical emergency
services wouldn’t be so impressed when you call them in the middle
of the night to come and fix small electrical issues that you would
have avoided, even if you are paying them. To maintain a good
relationship with your electrical company, here are some common
misconceptions about electrical safety that you need to know.
The
neutral line isn’t energized
One
thing you need to understand is that the neutral line is the return
path for the current. Just because it is defined as the grounded
conductor, it doesn’t mean that it isn’t energized.

Overhead
drop conductors are insulated
If
you are not an experienced and trained lineman, you should maintain
at least 10 Ft. from you to any overhead line. You should contact
electrical services Sydney companies in
Australia, in case of any issue with the overhead line.
The
unproven, untested circuit breaker will trip every time
You
shouldn’t assume that your circuit breaker will operate properly
all the time unless it has been inspected, maintained and tested by a
professional.
Low
voltage will give you a tingle and nothing more
Leather
protectors and rubber insulating gloves keep workers safe from
electrical shocks. They also protect the hands of the workers in case
of an arc flash. If you feel like something is so complicated and
that you cannot wear gloves, there is no reason to do it energized.
There are a lot of misconceptions that electricity emergency Sydney service providers in Australia wish their clients were aware of. However, we couldn’t discuss all of the misconceptions in a blog post since that would take a book. It is the responsibility of supervisors, workers and managers to educate all electrical workers and their clients to avoid electrical risks.
