Beyond smoke alarms, several other devices can significantly enhance electrical safety refrigerator. These include:
A. Circuit Breakers
Circuit breakers are designed to interrupt electricity flow when a fault is detected. They prevent overloads by cutting off power, averting potential fire hazards.
B. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs)
GFCIs are crucial for preventing electrical shocks, particularly in wet areas like bathrooms and kitchens. They monitor the current flowing through a circuit and disconnect power if an imbalance is detected.
C. Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters (AFCIs)
AFCIs are designed to detect arcing conditions, which are early signs of electrical fires. By interrupting the circuit when an arc fault is detected, AFCIs help prevent fires that could start from faulty wiring or loose connections.
D. Other Essential Electrical Safety Devices
Surge Protectors: They protect devices from voltage spikes that can cause equipment failures or fires.
Thermal Cut-Outs: These devices automatically cut power to overheated appliances, reducing fire risks.
