Electrical Safety Tip

Electrical safety after flooding

Three Short Facts
  1. Submerged electrical equipment may still be energized, even when it appears inactive.
  2. Floodwater can leave hidden corrosion and damage that create later shock or fire hazards.
  3. Electrical equipment exposed to water needs professional inspection before it can return to use.
View All Electrical Facts
Three Quick Safety Tips
  1. Stay out of flooded areas until the electric utility has confirmed that power is off. Do not enter water to reach a breaker panel.
  2. Do not touch submerged electrical equipment or try switching it on to see whether it works.
  3. Arrange a qualified electrician’s inspection before restoring water-exposed equipment to service. Let the professional determine what needs replacement.

Electrical Safety Tip

Stay clear of downed power lines

Three Short Facts
  1. A fallen power line may still carry electricity. Treat every downed line as live.
  2. Electricity from a downed line can spread through nearby ground, putting people at risk without direct contact.
  3. Wet ground can extend the danger beyond 35 feet from a fallen line.
View All Electrical Facts
Three Quick Safety Tips
  1. Stay at least 35 feet from fallen lines, farther in wet conditions. Keep others away and call 911.
  2. Do not drive over a fallen line or through water touching one. Choose another route.
  3. Leave fallen wires where they are. A stick or other tool does not make moving them safe.

Electrical Safety Tip

Arc-fault protection and monthly testing

Three Short Facts
  1. Arc-fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) help protect against electrical fires caused by dangerous arcing.
  2. AFCI protection and GFCI protection serve different purposes: AFCIs address arcing-related fire hazards, while GFCIs help protect people from severe electrical shock.
  3. AFCIs need testing after installation and every month to confirm that they trip as intended.
View All Electrical Facts
Three Quick Safety Tips
  1. Test your AFCIs monthly using their TEST button and the manufacturer’s instructions. Plan for the brief loss of power to connected devices.
  2. If an AFCI does not trip during its test, contact a licensed electrician to have it replaced.
  3. Ask a licensed electrician about your home’s AFCI protection. Have a qualified professional handle AFCI installation or replacement.
