What is interruption of ground errors?
The ground failure is a short circuit that occurs when the live electric wire touches the ground wire or metal output. If the conductor is not protected by a circuit breaker, fuse or interruption of ground failure, electric interruption may occur. Interruption of ground faults (GFI) is any device that automatically violates the electrical connection that can cause damage to the house, and more importantly, prevent people from being electricity.
ground disorders are found in homes and commercial buildings where electricity and water are close to each other, namely in kitchens and bathrooms. The water is highly conductive. In order to prevent injury during cooking or cleaning when using water or water materials in these areas, the ground failure is interrupted by a current of electricity if a terrestrial failure occurs.
Many local building regulations in the United States and other countries require that ground errors are installed in kitchens and bathrooms. When using groundInterruption errors, only the outlet on which it is installed is protected. The interruption of the perimeter of ground failures (GFCI) has almost replaced the interruption of ground failures, as GFCI protects its own outlet and up to four other outlets that are in the same district. If a terrestrial failure occurs in a socket, which is protected by a terrestrial district, the GFCI outs will trip, open the electrical connection and stop the flow of electricity before injury or anything is damaged.
Theoutslet of ground failures, also called GFI, is often much more expensive than a conventional electrical outlet. In most cases, however, it is worth costs. Every year, GFI outlets prevent thousands of electric shocks and burns.
Other GFI forms are the type of circuit breaker found in the circuit breaker box and portable type. Type of circuit breakers when a ground failure and a short circuit or overload occurs. This type of GFI protects each outlet and device,that is connected to this district. Portable GFIs are separate units that can be connected to any socket to protect this socket and everything it drives. Some extension cables are designed with portable GFI.
The houses of the house that should have installed ground failures, include all outdoor containers, garage containers, kitchen containers, bathroom containers, crawl containers and all containers in unfinished cellars. Homeowners who do not have ground errors that protect these areas of the house are recommended to upgrade their equipment to meet the building regulations as soon as possible. The licensed electrician can upgrade electrical equipment in the house to ensure that the interruption of the ground failures is properly installed. Homeowners who want to install GFIS themselves should be sure that they understand how to work correctly before trying to install correctly.
