For that, bolo warmo must be aware of this electric short circuit. Because this short circuit can be the cause of fires to kill lives, you know!
The following are the causes of electrical short circuit that WartaBromo has summarized:
- Improper installation
Installing electrical installations is an important component in homes and public places. For that, you should use professional services or services that have the competence to install electrical installations properly.
This professional service usually has evidence in the form of a Certificate of Operation Eligibility (SLO). Or at least you must join the Indonesian Electrical Contractors Association (AKLI).
- Electrical tools are not up to standard
When performing electrical installations, you should use standard tools and materials. Such as cables, sockets, switches, and so on. Make sure the material has the label of Indonesian National Standard (SNI), PLN Standard (SPLN) or Standards from the Electrical Problems Institute (LMK).

- Troubleshooting power tools
After making sure the power tool is up to standard, check it periodically during use. Make sure the cable is in good condition and not peeling. If it has peeled off, it should be covered with plaster that is intended for electricity. But if it can’t be repaired, replace the cable as soon as possible.
In addition to paying attention to the cable, the warmo bolo also has to make sure the power plugs don’t pile up. Because if the wires that are plugged in are stacked on top of each other, the heat energy can also be collected and trapped there. Electrical short circuit can happen quickly.
Then, keep an eye on electronic gadgets on a regular basis. When outdated and often problematic, do not use. Immediately replace with a new tool.
- Inappropriate use of electricity
Well, improper use of electricity can also be the cause of a short circuit. As if a lot of electrical equipment is used, but the load is not appropriate. It can make easy fuse jeglek. If it continues, it can cause damage to electronic devices, as well as fuses.
In addition, illegal electrical modifications should also not be carried out. Such as stealing additional power, then modifying the KWH of the electricity meter.
- Bringing electric current closer to fluids and heat sources
It is important to know, do not expose the power source to liquids or liquid splashes. Avoid the dishwasher, water dispenser or roof that leaks in the rain.
In addition, do not also bring the electric current to a heat source such as a stove. Because the cable can easily be caught in a fire and cause an electrical short.
In addition to these five things, electrical equipment that is no longer in use should be removed. Especially if left to travel. Make sure the electric current is disconnected or not on, to avoid unwanted things. (may/ono)
