FUSES Fuses are the safety valves in your electrical wiring. Fuses greater than 15 amperes must not be used in ordinary lighting and receptacle circuits; as the conductors in these circuits can safely carry only 15 amperes. Never replace blown fuses with pennies, washers, tin foil or over- size fuses. If 15 ampere fuses will not al- low you to operate the lights and appliances which are now con- nected in a circuit, then this cir- cuit is overloaded. FLEXIBLE CORDS Flexible cords must not be used for permanent wiring, that is, to make „permanent extensions to circuits. These cords are not large enough to safely carry as much current as the permanent wiring without becoming dangerously ov- erheated. Flexible cords create electrical fire hazards when they are: (a) bare or badly deteriorated; (b) run under rugs; (c) nailed to baseboards, door or window frames, walls and ceil- ings; (d) run through partitions, walls and floors; (e) permanently connected to permanent wiring by splices • or joints; (f) operating appliances — which have heating elements such as kettles, toasters, irons, rang- ettes and heaters; (g) used to provide multiple branches and outlets from one socket or outlet. FIXTURES and APPLIANCES All fixtures and appliances must be approved by the Canadian Stan- dards Association. Check for: (a) home-made and unapproved fixtures and appliances; (b) loose or improperly - made joints and connections — these may cause overheating; (c) deteriorated wiring in fix- tures — usually caused by heat; (d) wattage of lamps (light bulbs) to high for fixtures — causes excessive heating; (e) deteriorated fixtures, denot- ed by rust, bare wires, broken sockets; ' (f) drop cords used to operate irons, toasters and heaters, or .other appliances. If you receive an electrical shock from any appliance, have it check- ed immediately. PERMANENT WIRING Check for: (a) bare or improperly -made and taped joints and connections—. loose electrical connections may produce excessive heat; (b) sparking switches; (c) receptacles (wall plugs) that heat up when in use; (d) objects hung on open wiring; (e) cables connecting water heat- ers, oil burners, sump pumps, dryers and other electrical equipment, insecurely fasten- ed, giving a poor ground; (f) switches, receptacles and light outlets, in the kitchen, base- ment, bathroom, utility room and garage not grounded; (g) interference on radio or tele- vision receivers—this may be caused by poor electrical con- nections in your wiring sys- tem: If you recognize any of'these hazards in your home, ACT NOW!
