If a person receives an electric shock, it is the utmost duty of the observer to rescue the person. The first step is to disconnect the person immediately from the live supply mains by either switching off the main switch. The body should be pushed away with a dry stick or rope. If a stick is not available, then insulate yourself by standing on a dry wooden board, thick … [Read more...] about How to Rescue a Person from Electric Shock?

What is Switching Station? | Working and Layout
What is a switching station? A switching station is a substation that does not contain power transformers and therefore does not change system voltage from one level to another. Switching stations usually operate at sub-transmission or transmission voltage levels. Depending on system voltage, the equipment types and characteristics used in switching stations are … [Read more...] about What is Switching Station? | Working and Layout

GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) – Working, Types, Installing and Troubleshooting
A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI or GFI) is an inexpensive electrical switchgear device that can either be installed in your electrical system or built into a power cord to protect you from severe electrical shocks. Electric shocks can cause severe injury or even death. Even exposure to current as low as 100 ma current for only 2 seconds can cause death. GFCIs … [Read more...] about GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) – Working, Types, Installing and Troubleshooting
