It's quite easy getting lost in a conversation where electricity is the language of communication, and listening to your electricians go on and on about it only makes you feel dumb especially when they start explaining to you like you are in Nursery School.  So frustrating and that's why the experts at Electrical Safety First are here with a handy guide to get you acquainted the basics.

Getting acquainted with a few basic terms that keeps getting thrown around in a conversation goes a long way in introducing you to a safer and easier electrical world. And you get to finally know where fusebox is (if you still don't know) and understand terms like RCD, watt, or volt.

Ready for your basics?

Amps

‘Amps’ short for Amperes is the unit for measuring the flow of current in an electrical circuit. Current as used in that definition is similar to the rate of water flow through a hosepipe. The current will be higher if more water flows through the hosepipe.

Volts

‘Volts’ is the unit for measuring the electric pressure that makes the flow of electric current possible. Using the hosepipe example, volt becomes the water pressure that causes the flow of water in the hosepipe.

Watts

Following up on the hosepipe example, watts is the amount of water being released. That is, it is the measure of the amount of electrical power used in an electrical circuit. The watts value is gotten by multiplying amps and volts and the higher the value, the higher the power needed to operate an electrical appliance.

RCDs

An RCD is your Residual Current Device, it is a switch designed to automatically turn off your electricity when it detects a fault. It is basically your electrical lifesaver in the sense that it saves you from a fatal electric shock.

This device monitors the flow of electric current in one or more circuits it is connected to. It switches off the circuit the moment it detects electricity flowing through a wrong path such as a human in contact with a live part.

Having an RCD decreases the risk of death or a fatal injury from electric shock, however this is no excuse to get careless with electricity. It's advisable that you check your wiring at least once every 10 years and your RCDs every three months to be assured that all is fine and safe. And whenever you do happen to detect a fault with your wiring or an appliance, stop use that very second and contact a registered electrician.

If you're a landlord, the amount en year rule doesn't work for you. You should check the electrical wiring in your rental properties at least every 5 years.

Fuseboxes

This is one thing we all have in our properties and prolly have no idea what they are. Fuseboxes are also referred to as a consumer unit is a box that serves as home to the fuses or circuit breakers in a property.

Now that you know that fuseboxes are in charge of controlling and distributing electricity in your home, it is essential to know where yours is in case of an electrical emergency that requires you to turn off your electricity.

A fusebox has three main components: the main switch, fuses and/or circuit breakers, and RCDs.

• Main Switch – With the main switch available, you can turn off the electricity supply to your home. Sometimes, more than one main switch is provided so you should definitely go check and see how many you have and where they are located.

RCDs – this you already know about!

• Circuit Breakers – These protection devices found in the fusebox are automatic switch that turns off the circuit if there's a fault. They're more effective protector than fuses and are almost of the same size as fuses. If they do 'trip', all you have to do is reset it after the fault detected has been fixed.

Definitely not as complex as you were thinking, right? I know, electricity can be fun too!
