Basics about the use of electrical devices are taught by parents at home. There
are simple rules associated with the use of different appliances. Children are advised to
keep away from high voltage appliance as they may play its wirings and cause trouble
at home and to themselves. Safety precautionary measures are even written along with
the manuals in order to avoid problems in electricity.
Homeowners are advised to check the electrical connections in their homes
especially the condition of the wires which electric current flow. It is best to replace
exposed electrical wires, damaged plugs and avoid too many connections in one electric
outlet to prevent fire at home.

What is It

Inspired Adonis
A Short Story

Adonis had always loved to go to school with its abundant fruits and urban
feeling. It was a place where he felt relaxed. But just a few months ago, a pandemic hit
the entire country and even their place was affected by the new rules and regulations of
the government which is to stay at home. During these days, Adonis was at home with
his mother and father together with his younger sister Angela. Angela was too young to
go to school so Adonis likes to teach her basic lessons that he also learned when he was
in school.
While growing up, Adonis was very
familiar with the safety electrical devices which
protects electrical circuits from short circuits or
overloads. These devices are namely circuit
breakers, fuses, earthing, and double
insulation. He is very fond of studying these
because he wanted to become an electrical
engineer someday. He was inspired by his father
who works at a power source company as an
electronics engineer. He knows these devices
such as circuit breaker which uses magnets and
metallic strips to open a switch in cases of
overloading. Circuit breaker is automatically
operated with an electrical switch designed to
protect an electrical circuit from damage caused
by excess current from an overload or short
circuit. It is often used instead of fuses because Figure 1. Circuit breaker

overcurrent protection of an electrical circuit.

Fuses are made up of metal ribbon that will heat up and melt if the current exceeds. If
the ribbon melts, there is a break in the circuit thus, will provide overcurrent protection
in an electrical circuit. Once the fuse is blown out, it must be replaced with a new one
11
 once the source of overloading is determined and
remedied. Additionally, he is very aware that there are
some appliances that do not have an earth wire. They
have another way to protect the user, it has double
insulation. It is designed to protect the user of the
appliance from an electrical shock by preventing any
possibility of the external casing becoming live. The
live wire cannot touch the casing even if the wire
Figure 2. Fuse (image license is obtained using the sources
from from <a href="https://www.freepik.com/free-photos- become loose. Adonis also learned from his father that
vectors/background">Background photo created by
evening_tao - www.freepik.com</a>) insulator refers to a material that does not conduct
electrical current. Rubber is a good electrical insulator
because its properties caused the electrons to slow down
and eventually prevent them from moving at all. What
interest him more is earthing which is the process of
transferring the immediate discharge of the electrical
energy directly to the earth by the help of the low
resistance wire. Many electrical appliances have metal
cases. You would get an electric shock if the live wire
inside an appliance came loose and touched the metal
casing. However, the earth terminal is connected to the
metal casing so that the current goes through the earth
wire instead of causing an electric shock.
Adonis’ father is very cautious of faulty

user of the appliance from an electrical shock by

because when Adonis was only a child he was left
playing alone for a while and he accidentally plugged
in different appliances all at the same time in an
extension wire which caused the appliances to overload
and suddenly turn off. Now, his father would always
remind him to avoid overloading. An overloaded
circuit is an electric circuit that is carrying more current
than it is designed to handle, creating a danger of fire
through overheating. Overloading happens when too
many appliances which work on high power are
connected through the same socket/outlet. It is
important to know the wattage of the appliance to avoid
overloading. While short circuit occurs when electric
current follows a shorter path than what is intended in
the circuit. Short circuit is a low resistance connection
between the two conductors supplying electrical power

the power source through the “short” connection, and

12
may cause the power source to be destroyed
due to the heat from the high current. To
avoid short circuit, examine the appliances
at home before using.
When dealing with electricity it is
important to take precautionary measures
such as; keep electrical appliances dry, be
careful with electrical cords, make sure
your electrical outlets are safe, never touch
or try to repair any electrical equipment or
circuits with wet hands; never use
equipment with frayed cords, damaged Figure 5. Overloading (By electrical connections, both authorities are
referring to what are called “octopus” connections. In fact, extension
insulation or broken plugs; and always use cords with loose connections exacerbate the problem as it can cause
appropriate insulated rubber gloves while sparks which cause power surges and can hasten cord overloading.)
working on any electrical circuit. By
practicing these electrical safety tips at
home, you can lower your risk of accidents,
avoid overworking your home’s electrical
system, and keep you and your family safe.
These are only some of the things that
Adonis learned from school and from his
father, now that he has been staying at home
with his family.

the number of the sentence to the boxes placed across or down the grid. If filled out correctly,
the words will fit neatly into the puzzle.

16
 What I Have Learned

1. Safety electrical devices protect electrical circuits from short circuits and overloads.

2. Some of the Safety Electrical Devices use in household circuits are: Fuse, Circuit
breaker, Earthing and Double Insulation.

3. Fuse is an electrical safety device that operates to provide overcurrent protection of

an electrical circuit. Fuses are made up of metal ribbon that will heat up and melt
if the current exceeds. If the ribbon melts, there is a break in the circuit. Once the
fuse is blown out, it must be replaced with a new one once the source of overloading
is determined and remedied.

4. Circuit breaker is automatically operated with an electrical switch designed to

protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by excess current from an overload
or short circuit. Circuit breakers uses magnets and metallic strips to open a switch
in cases of overloading. Circuit breakers are often used instead of fuses because
they do not have to be replaced each time the circuit is opened.

5. Double insulation is designed to protect the user of the appliance from an electrical
shock by preventing any possibility of the external casing becoming live. The live
wire cannot touch the casing even if the wire becomes loose. Double insulation is
applied when an electrical appliance does not have an earth wire fitted and is
designed in such a way that the electrical parts can never come into contact with
the outer casing of the device.

6. Insulator refers to a material that does not conduct electrical current.

7. Rubber is a good electrical insulator because its properties caused the electrons to
slow down and eventually prevent them from moving at all.

17
8. Earthing system is an act of connecting the metal casing of the appliance to earth
via a wired connection to the bare ground. Earthing wires usually have a green and
yellow band around them. It protects your appliances, your home and everyone
from surges in electricity like when lightning strikes. Lightning produces
dangerously high voltages of electricity.

9. An overloaded circuit is an electric circuit that is carrying more current that it is

designed to handle, creating a danger of fire through overheating. Overloading
happens when too many appliances which work on high power are connected
through the same socket/outlet. It is important to know the wattage of the appliances
to avoid overloading.

10. Short circuit is a low resistance connection between the two conductors supplying
electrical power to any circuit. This results in excessive current flow in the power
source through the “short” connection, and may cause the power source to be
destroyed due to the heat from the high current. Check the appliances before using
to avoid short circuit.

11. To avoid electrical problems at home, keep electrical appliances dry, be careful
with electrical cords, make sure your electrical outlets are safe, never touch or try
repairing any electrical equipment or circuits with wet hands; never use equipment
with frayed cords, damaged insulation or broken plugs; and always use appropriate
insulated rubber gloves while working on any electrical circuit. By practicing these
electrical safety tips at home, you can lower your risk of accidents, avoid
overworking your home’s electrical system, and keep you and your family safe.
