·        Get the internal wiring checked up periodically not only to avoid leakage of electricity but also to safeguard the lives of the inmates in the premises.

·        Near the point of supply safety equipment like earth leakage short circuit protection (Circuit breakers/switches) must be in

·        At your premises, proper earthing must be installed.

·        When not required switch off the electricity supply.

·        Use proper capacity fuse wire for main switches.

·        For proper voltage, install adequate capacitors for inductive loads.

·        Through licensed electrical contractors cables of I S I mark capacity must be used for installation.

·        Provide waterproof enclosures to meters and metering equipment and ensure their safety.

·        Prefer only licensed electrical contractors for rectification of any problem.

 

 

Dont's

 

·        Do not connect multiple types of equipment to a single point outlet to avoid excess loading.

·        Do not use bare wires for extending supply from one point to other or from one premise to other

·        premises. It is hazardous and causes accidents.

·        Avoid loose connections and joints.

·        Avoid theft of electrical energy, It is cognizable offense and attracts penal charges and/or imprisonment.

·        Do not tamper with energy meters, meter seals or metering equipment, it is an offense.

·        Do not plant trees below the overhead power lines.

·        Do not meddle with live wires/points. It may cost you life.

·        Don't get the wiring works done by unauthorized persons, which is an offense under the Indian Electricity Rules 1956.
