In the event of a partial or complete violation of isolation, the values \u200b\u200bof leakage current increase and can pose a serious threat to human health and life. Simply put, if insulation resistance is lost when touching the body of an electrical appliance, cable sheath, plug or socket, water pipe or heating system, wall of a house or apartment, the human body will act as a conductor through which leakage currents will pass to the ground. The consequences can be very sad, even fatal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/my.electricianexp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/chto-takoe-utechka-toka-1.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17419\" title=\"Human electrical diagram\" src=\"https:\/\/my.electricianexp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/chto-takoe-utechka-toka-1.jpg\" alt=\"Human electrical diagram\" width=\"500\" height=\"285\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">Do not forget that the presence of an electrical leak in the house and apartment can affect the consumption of electrical energy. In the presence of this phenomenon in the wiring, even if all consumers are disconnected, the electricity meter will record the electricity consumption.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">Distinctive signs<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">Having an understanding of what an electricity leak is, the causes of its occurrence and the serious consequences accompanying it, it does not interfere with the owner of a house or apartment to know how to identify electrical equipment with low insulation resistance. First of all, you should firmly understand if you feel a hidden effect of electricity when touching an electrical appliance, pipes or walls in a room, or a current leakage occurs in the electrical network of a house or apartment. Loss of insulation resistance can occur both in faulty consumers of electricity and in wiring. A common sign of danger is whenan electric shock occurs in the bathroom.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">How to determine if the device is damaged?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">Check leakage current with voltage indicator. This verification method can be used if the device under test has a metal casing. In case of doubts about the serviceability and safety of using the device, the presence or absence of leakage can be checked using an indicator screwdriver, designed to search for a phase in the network. To do this, when the consumer is on, touch the tip of the screwdriver to the metal case of the electrical device, even if the phase detector is weakly detected, the consumer under test is faulty and dangerous.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/my.electricianexp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/chto-takoe-utechka-toka-3.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17417\" title=\"Using a pointer screwdriver\" src=\"https:\/\/my.electricianexp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/chto-takoe-utechka-toka-3.jpg\" alt=\"Using a pointer screwdriver\" width=\"500\" height=\"370\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">Current leakage into the housing in a device with a metal casing can be caused not only by loss of insulation resistance.

Insulation testing with a multimeter is only performed on de-energized equipment. Before checking, the meter should be switched to resistance measurement mode at 20 megohms. Fix a multi-purpose probe on the body of the product under test, and the second one on one end of the plug connection. The same operation must be performed for the second contact pin and with the polarity of the probes replaced. In operating electrical equipment, infinity must be displayed on the scale of the measuring device. Otherwise, the electrical equipment cannot be used, and must either be returned for repair or disposed of.

How to detect them without the involvement of specialists and the use of special devices. There is a proven method to check for leaks in the hidden wiring of a house or apartment using a transistor radio that has medium and long longitudinal reception ranges. Before checking, it is necessary to turn off all electricity consumers. Next, you need to walk with the receiver, pre-tuned to the frequency on which radio stations are not broadcast, in the immediate vicinity of the walls in places of wiring.

On the Jeezly website, you do not have to worry about the imaginary prices of the products, as is the case with most sites that display their products on the Internet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">The price of delivering products is very reasonable and not expensive, and the site accepts delivery to various countries, without forgetting that it accepts free shipping on some products.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">One of the features of the site is also the high quality of its products, as it is impossible to find a poor quality product. Rather, the Jezli website deals with the major companies, Philips, for example, and other famous brands, so you must remove from your mind the idea of \u200b\u200bthe poor quality of one of the products. Another advantage of the site is that it does not specialize in one type of product, but rather you will find various types of products on it, for example, electrical appliances, hand tools, mechanical devices, paints, packages for establishing apartments, and many other types.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">Jeezly website also accepts what is known as the shopping cart, which makes it easy for you to filter the products you want to buy and put them in one package in order to be able to pay with the click of a single button.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">Accepts multiple payment methods.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/gahzly.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50673 size-full\" title=\"Components of an electrical circuit Components of an electrical circuit\" src=\"https:\/\/gahzly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/editor-1s-188px-15.gif\" alt=\"Electrical circuit components\" width=\"188\" height=\"188\" \/><\/a><\/h4>\n<h4><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">We are pleased that you visit our social media pages, where we publish exclusive offers on our website.<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">Our Facebook page\u00a0 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Gahzlystore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">is here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"> .<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">Our Twitter account\u00a0 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/gahzly1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\">is here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit\"> .<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is leakage current and how to find it? &nbsp; &nbsp; Leakage current to ground is a common and fairly common concept.
