Electrical Appliances Domestic electrical equipment in homes is made and tested to Australian standard. The aim of the testing is to ensure that the equipment is fairly robust and has no exposed parts that can cause harm to the user. No other protection is usually required in this case. However, for example, in some domestic light switches you can see the arc inside when the switch is being operated, especially in the case of fluorescent lighting. In a chemical factory or refinery the electrical equipment obviously must be made to a much more robust industrial standard and designed not to create an ignition risk because of any explosive gases, vapours or dusts that might be present around the equipment. |
