The reasons of electrotraumatism in private life
In modern apartments there is a plenty of various electrodevices: fixtures, electroheaters, washing machines, irons, radio and other equipment. In apartments there is the most various voltage: from an industrial network up to a high voltage in TVs. Last years the number injured by an electric current in a life has increased. The children's electrotraumatism in domestic conditions has appeared, and in is high - 16,3 % of all traumas in a life. The electrotraumatism of children of school age makes 8,9 %, preschool - 7,4 %. The children's electrotraumas which were having place at use of extension pieces are totaled many. These electrotraumas become typical. In overwhelming majority of cases the second pole of a contact are the radiator of a heat supply and a water pipe. Fatal cases of defeat are registered by an electric current at using self-made electroheating devices. It is a lot of cases of a traumatism from irons. Check of isolation of some the irons which are taking place in operation of 2-3 years, has shown, that in comparison with the factory data for this term its quality has decreased on 40-50 %. Especially guards in these electrotraumas that, using an iron, is possible to touch the metal parts of the it which have appeared above damaged isolation. The zone on a body of the person between big and a middle finger is most sensitive to influence of a current. It is necessary to note, that at using irons of a foreign design of similar electrotraumas it is not registered. It is a lot of cases of defeat, including children, occurs at application instead of a standard plug plug of naked wires. Children's defeats concern to this group of defeats also. Principal causes: application in room electric systems of the equipment with defective isolation, absence of the control over a status of an electric equipment, insufficient acquaintance to possible dangers of defeat by an electric current.
