Prevent water and electric shock, urban power facilities should have "waterproof" measures

On June 8th , a mother and daughter died of electrocution at the main entrance bus stop of the Garden Shopping Plaza, Minjiang Middle Road, Chancheng District, Foshan City. After receiving the report, the local public security, medical, power supply, firefighting, and transportation departments immediately rushed to the scene to dispose of the site, cut off the nearby power supply, and sent the two injured to the hospital for treatment. After the rescue failed, the mother and daughter died.

Wading electric shocks is a natural or man-made disaster?

Heavy rainfall is a seasonal climate phenomenon, which cannot be avoided. But are pedestrians affected by human factors due to electrocution and electrocution?

In spring and summer, heavy rains in Guangdong are commonplace. Every year this season, there are always a few rounds of intensive baptism. However, this round of heavy rain caused many pedestrians in various cities to suffer electrocution after wading. It really has to be thought-provoking. At this time, science knowledge on electricity protection is important, but more importantly, it is questioning and reflection.

Urban power facilities should have "waterproof" measures

According to authoritative data in 2015 , the national death toll is about 8.9 million people each year , and the number of abnormal deaths is over 3.2 million. The number of deaths caused by electric shocks is 8,000 every year . The occurrence of these electrocution accidents was mainly due to the lack of knowledge of electrical safety, violation of operating procedures, and unqualified or unreliable equipment, such as severe wind-scraping lines or scrapping poles that were not repaired in time.

Are the installations and configurations of electric facilities in public places corresponding to industry norms and standards? In particular, the standards and norms for a class of cities in the South should be stricter and higher? For example, if there is leakage, it should be tripped. This is the basic operation that the leakage protector should operate.

According to past experience, in real life, most of the accidents caused by electric leakage are related to the installation or maintenance that is not compliant or substandard. According to common sense, areas such as Guangdong that are unavoidably affected by rain all year round, especially in low-lying areas, should avoid installation of related electrical equipment. They should be installed and designed to be at a height that is difficult to be flooded. It is safer to add waterproof accordingly. equipment.

Of course, a more efficient government management level should also be that electricity should establish a linkage mechanism with relevant departments such as meteorology. In the event of a disaster such as heavy rain or circuit leakage, the power sector will carry out targeted electricity supply to relevant regions. Closed.

How can I not get an electric shock on a rainy day?

How can I not get an electric shock on a rainy day? Indeed, this is an issue that involves "protecting life" and cannot be avoided.

We may have to read the following carefully:

Do not shelter under transformers or overhead lines.

Do not shelter under big trees or large billboards.

Do not touch the trees near the wires.

Do not go near the pole.

Carefully pour water.

It was found that someone had fallen to the ground and did not save their hands.

When you encounter a drop of a wire near you, you should jump off the field with one leg.

In addition, when the outdoor water is immersed in the room, the main switch of the power supply should be disconnected in time in order to prevent leakage of electric equipment. Household appliances should be unplugged and not using solar water heaters. Do not touch metal pipes such as gas pipes and water pipes.

Finally, I hope that everyone will spread common sense and cannot let any life become a victim of work omissions.
