Electrical Safety Devices
Electrical safety devices are tools designed to protect people and property from electrical hazards. Common examples include circuit breakers, which automatically shut off electrical flow when there is an overload, and fuses, which melt to interrupt the circuit when too much current passes through. These devices help prevent electrical fires and equipment damage.
Another important type of electrical safety device is the ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). GFCIs monitor the flow of electricity and can quickly cut off power if they detect an imbalance, reducing the risk of electric shock. Together, these devices play a crucial role in maintaining electrical safety in homes and workplaces.
