Electricity and Its Dangerous Sides

Abstract

Dangerous practice of electrical wiring systems and poor products must be thoroughly investigated if electrical fire incidents will be mitigated. Electricity can kill faster than any means and even destroy than tsunami. If anyone is seeking for the most dangerous energy means, they should trace it to electrical energy. Electrical fire does not just happen, it has propeller. From the man who designs it to the man who executes the design, and even the manufacturer of the electrical components, they all contribute to the outbreak of electrical fire. Electrical fires are fires which may involve electrical cables and equipments. This study examined the various dangerous sides of electrical wiring fault and its causes.
