MAKALA: ELECTRICAL TIPS
Habari wanajukwa kwa kipindi kirefu nimekuwa na nia ya kushare na na nyie kile nachokifahamu kuhus fani yangu ya UMEME .. ambacho kwa namna moja au nyingine kinaweza kuwa na msaada mkubwa au kiasi nimeona kuwa nitakuwa na mfululizo wa masomo/makala za maada mbali za umeme hasa umeme wa majumbani
LESSON 1: HOME ELECTRICAL SAFETY TIPS /USALAMA NA TAHADHARI MAJUMBANI KWENYE MIFUMO NA VIFAA VYA UMEME.
SAFETY Hii ndio itakuwa maada yangu ya kwanza kabisa ni maada pana ila ntajitahidi kueleza vidokezo muhimu ambavyo wengi wetu tunakutana navyo.. samahani kwa kuchanganya Kiswahili na kiingereza
HERE ARE SOME CHECKS YOU CAN MAKE IN YOUR HOME TODAY TO ENSURE ELECTRICAL SAFETY:
Check for outlets that have loose-fitting plugs, which can overheat and lead to fire. Replace any missing or broken wall plates. Make sure there are safety covers on all unused outlets that are accessible to children .
Hii muhimu sana unakuta nyumba nyingi hizi outlet zimelegea nyaya ziko nje hii ni hatari sana hasa kama una watoto wadogo . kitaalam hizi outlet zinatakiwa kuweka 30cm (height ) kutoka kwenye sakafu.
Extension Cords
Check to see that cords are not overloaded. Additionally, extension cords should only be used on a temporary basis; they are not intended as permanent household wiring. Make sure extension cords have safety closures to help prevent young children from shock hazards and mouth burn injuries.
Wengi wetu tunajisahau sana tunageuza sasa hizi extension ni kama socket outlet .halafu zinakuwa zimejazwa bila kuzingatia ratings za vifaa kama currents(amperes , A ,Amps) au watts hizi ratings ntazizungumzia kwenye somo litakalofuata . utakuta extension iko rated 10 A au 13A lakini mtu hapo anajaza vifaa vyote sebuleni bila kuzingatia hii rating .. kina vifaa vimedesigniwa kubeba umeme continuously na vingine kwa muda Fulani hili vifikie life span yake..
Cords/ nyaya
Make sure cords are in good conditionnot frayed or cracked. Make sure they are placed out of traffic areas. Cords should never be nailed or stapled to the wall, baseboard or to another object. Do not place cords under carpets or rugs or rest any furniture on them
Hii muhimu
Plugs
Make sure your plugs fit your outlets. Never remove the ground pin (the third prong) to make a three-prong fit a two-conductor outlet; this could lead to an electrical shock. NEVER FORCE A PLUG INTO AN OUTLET IF IT DOESN'T FIT. Plugs should fit securely into outlets. Avoid overloading outlets with too many appliances.
hapa mtu utakuta ana lazima kuweka plug ambayo meno yake ni makubwa au hayaendani na socket outlet au extension .
Light Bulbs
Check the wattage (rating) of all bulbs in light fixtures to make sure they are the correct wattage for the size of the fixture. Replace bulbs that have higher wattage than recommended; if you don't know the correct wattage, check with the manufacturer of the fixture/ technical personnel. Make sure bulbs are screwed in securely; loose bulbs may overheat
Hapa watu wengi wanashangaa sana TAA zinaungua ovyo .. kutoikaza bulb kuna weza kusababisha kuungua .
Circuit Breakers/Fuses
Circuit breakers and fuses should be the correct size current rating for their circuit. If you do not know the correct size, have an electrician identify and label the size to be used. Always replace a fuse with the same size fuse.
Circuit breaker na fuse ni vifaa muhimu kwa usalama wa vifaa na mfumo mzima ndani ya nyumbani ni vyema kufahamu SIZE husika ya hivi vifaa .. hili somo nalo tutalipa mkazo wake baadae kwenye masomo yangu ya mbele
Appliances
If an appliance repeatedly blows a fuse, trips a circuit breaker or if it has given you a shock, unplug it and have it repaired or replaced.
Hii ni kwa kifaa ambacho unaona kila ukichomeka kina zima umeme kwenye nyumba ni vyema ukakitoa na kutafuta fundi akirekebishe au utafute kifaa kingine kabisa.
Water and Electricity Don't Mix/MAJI NA UMEME HAVIPATANI
Don't leave plugged-in appliances where they might fall in contact with water. If a
plugged-in appliance falls into water, NEVER reach in to pull it outeven if it's turned off. First turn off the power source at the panel board and then unplug the appliance. If you have an appliance that has gotten wet, don't use it until it has been checked by a
qualified repair person.
Lightning/RADI
During an electrical storm, do not use appliances (i.e., hairdryers, toasters and radios) or telephones (except in an emergency); do not take a bath or shower; keep batteries on hand for flashlights and radios in case of a power outage; and use surge protectors on electronic devices, appliances, phones, fax machines and modems.
Zingatia hayo ni muhimu sana tulio wengi kwa kufahamu au kutofahamu hivi huwa ama tunazembea au hatutilii maanani..
Kwa masomo mengine ntaendelea kutoa siku hadi siku ..
