Topic to be discussed in this article is mentioned below:


  • 1. Meaning of Electrical Accident
  • 2. Reason of Electrical Accident
  • 3. What is I.S.I. Procedure?
  • 4. How Electrical Accident can be Avoided?


Explanation of all the topics:

Electrical Accidents
Electrical Accidents

1. Meaning of Electrical Accident


Unknowingly or my mistake over confidence, unforeseen happening a person may touch a live part and current passes through his body and get a shock can be termed as electrical accident which may result body injury burning of part of body or a death of a person is termed as electric accident.


2. Reasons of Electrical Accidents


Accident can also be to the system such as short circuit, saviour leakage current, breaking of live conductors on other conductor on earth wire, on animals, human beings.

Accidents may be due to negligence in maintenance operation, over loading, water
leakages etc.

Accidents may be due to inferior materials used by the manufacturer and without getting certificate of Indian Stand Institute(I.S.I.)


What is I.S.I. procedure?


When the electrical equipment and cables are not of approved design and manufacture, the Indian Standard Specifications(ISS) are the main guiding booklets for manufacture of electrical equipment and there after approval seal of I.S.I. (Indian Standard Institution) is most essential to establish its credibility.

Such specifications not only include all important regulations governing the design, construction and manufacture of the equipment but also testing procedures is to be adopted.

The equipment manufactured to these specifications can be depended upon to give safe and satisfactory service.

Reasons of Electrical Accidents:


Accidents may also happen due to one or more of the reasons given below:

  1. Improper tools.
  2. Protective devices not used or provided.
  3. Lack of proper instructions or supervision
  4. Instructions not been observed faithfully.
  5. Over confidence.
  6. Mental and physical condition of employee.
  7. Poor judgment.
  8. Mechanical inability of doing things and failure to think.
  9. Negligence and carelessness of other persons.


How electrical accidents can be avoided?


1. The equipment installed should be used properly.

2. The instructions of sequence of operation shall be followed properly.

3. Machines shall never be mishandled or a person who don'ts know machines shall not be allowed to start/operate the machines.

4. Installation of the machines shall be as per the guide lines provided by the manufacture and rate contract for maintenance shall be given to the competent agency.

5. Periodical inspection shall be carried out by qualified and experienced Engineer and skilled technicians.

6. Repairs/Replacement, suggested by the expert engineer shall be done immediately without delay.

7. For overhead electric lines, periodic patrolling must be done to inspect the lines. Faulty parts must be replaced.

8. As per the maintenance schedule the maintenance work must be attended to.

9. In emergency cases/prior to likely fault, the system should be break down and maintenance works shall be carried out.

10. Earthing must be checked periodically.

11. Insulation resistance must be measured as per the maintenance schedule.

12. Electrician, wireman, line-man shall use earth rods, rubber glows, insulated handle
pliers, wooden stair etc.

13. Instead of a work to be allotted to a single person on electric lines outside,two persons
to be deputed for the work.

14. Shut down and line charging procedure shall be done by written warrants.

Introduction to Arduino | Pin Function of Arduino | Working Process of Arduino

Introduction to Arduino | Pin Function of Arduino | Working Process of Arduino Introduction to Arduino | Pin Function of Arduino | Working Process of Arduino Introduction To Arduino Arduino is an Italian company that designs and manufactures Open Source Hardware (Microcontroller) and Open Source software or IDE (Integrated Development Environment). Arduino hardware is such a programmable computerized platform, by working on which the user can combine the hardware and software and prepare the electronic brain according to his own and can control the electronic devices from that electronic brain. What is arduino? If you want to understand more easily, then we can say that Arduino microcontroller is an empty brain, in which you can upload memory by coding or programming through arduino software, so these are called open source. Arduino works like a CPU of a board computer. Right now the microcontroller of the arduino of this time that we can take up is lik

What is Microprocessor? | Block Diagram of Microprocessor | Application of Microprocessor What is Microprocessor? | Block Diagram of Microprocessor | Application of Microprocessor Basic Detail Of Microprocessor The  microprocessor is a semiconductor device consisting of electronic logic circuits manufactured by using either a large scale(LSI) or very large scale integration(VLSI) technique. The microprocessor is capable of performing computing functions and making decisions to change the sequence of program execution. In large computers, the central processing unit(CPU) performs these computing functions and it is implemented on one or more circuit boards. The microprocessor is in many ways similar to the CPU, however, the microprocessor includes all the logic circuitry(including the control unit)on one chip. The microprocessor consists of the following three segments which is shown in below diagram. Block Diagram of Microproce

What is Instrumentation? And Modes of Measurement

What is Instrumentation? And Modes of Measurement Definition of Instrumentation The technology of using instruments to measure and control the physical and chemical properties of materials is called “ instrumentation ". What is Instrumentation? And Modes of Measurement When the instruments are used for the measurement and control of industrial manufacturing , conversion or treatment processes, the term process instrumentation is applied. When the measuring and controlling instruments are combined so that measurements provide impulses for remote automatic action, the result is called a control system. Modes of Measurement There are the three modes of measurement: 1. Primary Measurement 2. Secondary Measurement 3. Tertiary Measurement All the three modes are described below: (1) Primary Measurements In the primary measurement sought value of a parameter is determined by comparing it directly with reference standar
