Effects of electrical shock
Muscles tighten Breathing stops Lungs tighten
27
How to free a victim from shock
Dont touch a victim Turn off the power Use an insulator to free victim Keep victim lying down
28
Why should we test appliances
Establish whether: Current flow exists Ac or DC force Measure the value
29
Digital meter
LCD display More expensive Mostly accurate
30
Analogue
Uses a needle as pointer Not as accurate Cheaper
31
Care for your instruments
Replace battery when low Remove battery if you leave instruments for more than a month Don't connect circuits to live circuits
32
What happens if you don't take care of instrumwnts
Electrical shock Injury Death Damage to property
