Caution, Electricity on Mild Steel, Dangerous!

No Header

Steel roofs are now in great demand as a modern home material. Mild steel is lightweight, durable, easy to install, and more affordable. Unfortunately, mild steel also has a weakness which is a conductor. Steel is very easy to conduct electricity. So, it has a risk of electric shock if it rains and incorrect installation.

There is no problem if a construction uses mild steel as the main material. Mild steel won’t shock you directly if it doesn’t have a trigger. Mild steel will be dangerous if electrified. If accidentally touching mild steel electrified, it can cause burns, heart attacks, and even death. But don’t be afraid to use mild steel.

 

The risk of electric shock can be prevented in some ways.

 

1.Wrap all electrical cables with conduit pipes

The conduit pipe can make the electric cable more durable. We will avoid electric shocks and scratched cables so that the copper contents come out so that they are prone to installation leaks.

2.Install an electrical circuit breaker at home

This tool is useful for stopping the flow of electricity, especially when detecting electricity flowing through electric conductive objects. The power circuit breaker can stop and can prevent you from being electrocuted.

3.Install the electric fuse

When the electricity exceeds the allowable level and is prone to creating a safety hazard. The mains fuse will break the damaged circuit by turning it off. So, it can avoid short circuits and fire.

4.Install the electrical enclosure

Enclosures can protect from water or rain. This will help avoid an electric shock and ensure the safety of any electrical device or component that is outside the house.

5.Put the installation in a safe place

Set the position of electrical installations in areas that are not in direct contact with light steel construction.

6.Use high-quality materials

Choose high-quality material even though it has a higher price.

7.Seek expert assistance during installation

8.Turn off the electricity
