How To Aviod Being Electrocuted In Your Bathroom by galax1: 7:44pm On Feb 20, 2020
Due to the current happenings about people being electrocuted in their bathroom ,I deemed it fit to analyse the causes and probably how we can avoid future occurrences.
Electricity can only flow to the water tank in the water heater system if there is conductivity between the heating element and the tank,the water in the tank becomes a carrier of electricity.If there is such a fault and there is a proper equipment grounding (earthing),the equipment grounding conductor (ground wire) is the current path that enables protective devices, such as circuit breakers and fuses, to operate when a fault occurs.
So proper earthing can help, it is also safe to switch off water heater before use .There should be caution sign on the doors of bathrooms "switch off water heater before use".
The news about people being electrocuted in their bathroom now raises a lot of dust about building regulations.
A lot of people engage Electrician to do their home Electrical installations,which they feel is cheaper. Engaging an electrician is fine but It's always advisable u ask an electrical engineer to sign off b4 use, because most Electrician do earthing but are never sure if the earthing proper.
A test can always be carried out for proper earthing.
