Rural elderly people, electricity safety is related to our daily lives, and it is important to operate lighting Electrical Ready Boards correctly. The following guide is simple and easy to remember, helping you easily master.

Get to know the Electrical Ready Board

The Electrical Ready Board is usually installed on the wall and has a small door. When you open it, you can see a row of switches inside. These switches control the electricity in different areas of the home, such as the lights in the living room and bedroom. There is usually a large main switch at the top, which controls the electricity of the entire house.

Daily operations

Closing the circuit for power transmission

Don't panic when there is a power outage at home. Check if the main switch has tripped. Find the main switch, gently push it up, and when you hear a "click" sound, it's closed. At this point, the house has electricity. If you can't push it up, don't force it, it may be due to a leakage somewhere. Check the electrical equipment first.

Open the circuit and cut off the power

When it is necessary to replace the light bulb or repair the circuit, the power should be cut off first. Find the switch that controls the corresponding area, pull it down, and if you hear a "click" sound, it means that the power in this area has been cut off. For example, to change the light bulb in the living room, pull down the switch that controls the living room.

Safety precautions

Regular inspection: Check the switches in the Electrical Ready Board every month for any signs of looseness or burning. If you find that the switch is heating up or has a strange smell, quickly find an electrician to fix it.

Moisture and dust prevention: The area around the Electrical Ready Board should be kept dry and clean, and no debris should be piled up to prevent dust and moisture from entering and causing short circuits.

Don't move around: Non professionals should not disassemble or replace parts in the Electrical Ready Board at will to avoid electric shock accidents.
