Your
AC Transformers FAQ
Transformer Safety is always an area of concern for transformer
users. Because transformers utilize electricity, it is important to
take Transformer Safety precautions and adequate
protection. Electricity is a safe form
of energy but care must be taken with any electrical equipment, which
includes transformers.
With Transformer Safety, it is important to remember that
electricity travels at the speed of light which is about 186,000 miles
per second. It not only quickly, but also very easily, passes through
things like the ground, metals, and anything with moisture in it.
Examples of things with moisture in them include trees, plants, animals,
and people. Electricity can also jump short distances through the air.
In the case of Transformer Safety,
electricity
is safely contained and controlled within the transformer so that
electricity is not able to cause harm and damage. Electricity should
always be treated with respect and it helps to always keep in mind what
electricity is capable of, both good and bad.
The following is a list to consider when dealing with the issues that
surround Transformer Safety:
-
Before installation
of your transformer, inspect where it will be housed carefully and
look for any potential safety issues.
-
Always be aware of potential hazards and learn to identify and look
for potential hazards around your transformer.
-
Visually inspect
your transformer on a routine basis and have frayed cords or wiring
repaired or replaced.
-
Never run cords
around sharp objects or under rugs.
-
Turn off and unplug
transformers before any cleaning or servicing.
-
If the transformer
sparks, shocks, smokes or doesnt seem to be operating normally,
turn if off and unplug immediately. Do not attempt to use the
transformer again until it has been repaired.
-
Never touch another
person that has been shocked by electricity.
-
