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.
