Like any electrical parts, electrical switches have wear and tear too. Repeated use of switches for a very long period of time can pose electrical hazards such as electrocution, fire, and burns. Therefore, a periodic risk assessment needs to be conducted for electrical switches, especially in high-usage areas.
As leading electrical switches manufacturers, we can recommend one way to reduce the risk of hazards is by choosing modular electrical switches. These are safer as they are manufactured devoid of metallic parts. Another way would be to use MCBs also known as Miniature Circuit Breakers.
Here we have listed down some of the warning signs that indicate your electrical switches need to be replaced or upgraded.
While turning on a light switch we may often notice it feels hot when you turn it off. While there can be multiple reasons for this happening, usually this happens when there is an electrical overload. This often leads to the circuit breaker tripping, shutting off the power to the entire circuit.
Sometimes, when appliances demand excess power from an outlet, it often leads to overheating and burn marks on the outlet. This may also give way to flames and sparks that can be highly dangerous.
Circuit breakers are used to protect circuits from overloading. In order to stop any kind of damage which may be caused due to the overflowing of electricity, the circuit switches itself off to prevent the wires from overheating.
Bulbs often deteriorate prematurely. If this happens, this is one big sign that electrical switches require an immediate upgrade.
Flickering lights can happen due to several reasons. This includes a loose light plug, a faulty fixture switch, voltage fluctuations, or outdated wiring. Another reason for this occurring can be if the product is pulling a high amount of current during start-up, leading to an immense drop in the voltage.
As strange as it may sound, a high electricity utility bill can often indicate faulty wiring that needs immediate repair or replacement.
