Don’t afraid it just electricity!

Read More About Electricity

Do you have any problems with electricity? Do you need always look for an electrician to check where the problem is. I would say no. For example your desk lamp is not working. Of course first thing to check is light bulb. But when you have changed it and it still does not work? What is the next thing to look for? Let’s try different electricity item at the same outlet. If it does work then the problem must be with the lamp. If not then the problem could be with the outlet or whole electricity system (in this case I suggest to look for an electrician, who can help you). Till this point you have not spend a dim. Do you still want to save your money? If your answer was yes then you must read the next paragraph.

When you suggest to someone to check the problem themselves then the common answer would be – I am afraid from electricity. What they mean by it? Every day we use the benefit what the electricity gives us. In reality, they are afraid to be striked by the power of electricity. Some of us have experienced it. It hurts, and normally you don’t want it to happen one more time with you. So to work with electricity you always must be sure that there is no power in the item.
So first tool to check out if the electrical power is present is electricity test pen.
There are a range of electricity test pens in a market. Your main choice will be determined by the amount of money you would spend for it, the type of tool and some less significant things. The simplest of them can do main job to check if power is present. I would suggest to try the simplest ones if you have not decided to do more than just check out if there is any power present.

Ok, the main basics are:

1. I always check out does this test pen work. So I do not switch the power off before I have touched the wire or outlet with a test pen. Never work on a circuit or an appliance unless you know for sure that the power has been disconnected.

2. Most of them to make it work you must press your forefinger on the test pen’s “head” or the special metal spot on it. If not the indicator lights inside the test pen will not light up even if there is electricity present. If there is electrical supply, the diode light should light up if you have placed your finger on the tip of the test pen.

3. Remember that the ground wire don’t have any power in it and you can’t check is it broken or not with a test pen.

4. So, always touch all the holes in the outlet or the wires to be sure that there is no power. Only one of them will show that the power is present.

5. After turn off the electricity breakers, not a simple switches. Only the breakers cut off the line (the faze, hot wire).

Turn off the power by turning off the breaker. After, check the wires one more time. Only then you can confidently repair, check, connect, replace or do any electricians work without any fear to be hit by the electric power.
