DAMASCUS, (SANA) - As winter approaches, demand for electric power is increasing and the risk is high due to diamonds


Damascus-Sana

As winter approaches, the demand for electric power increases and the risk increases due to the occurrence of electrical shortages due to the high energy consumption. Damascus Electricity Company called on citizens to take caution to avoid exposure to human and material losses.

The Director of Operation and Investment in the General Electricity Company of Damascus Eng. Mohamed Mahala explained in a statement to SANA that the company recently completed the extension of low voltage cables and distribution cables to areas that were suffering from high loads in the winter, in order to alleviate the breakdowns. To enlarge the switching centers, increase the capacity of the centers and extend the cables to increase the reliability of the electrical network.

He explained that the electrical network is protected from the station to the transfer centers, boxes and distribution boxes and with the approach of winter, the demand for energy increases, which leads to an increase in its consumption and thus increase the burden on electricity networks that may be separated from time to time and as a result of pressure and wear of equipment in citizens' homes may occur He pointed out that the electric circuit breakers are divided into two parts, the first is possible in the electricity networks that reach the meter.

He explained that electric heaters are one of the most common causes of fires because their consumption ranges between 2000 and 3500 watts and most of the heaters spread on the market pose a danger because of its large capacity that emits high thermal energy needs with appropriate means of transport such as wires that transport electricity from the outlet to the heater. When the current is high, any weakness of the cable to the heater can lead to overheating and fire.

As for the procedures that must be followed to ensure safety, he pointed out that any electrical outlet should not be loaded with a large number of energy consuming devices. He pointed out the need to keep flammable objects away from the electric heater and extinguish the fireplaces when sleeping, advising citizens to use fireplaces that contain a means of separation on their own and equipped with protection to prevent fires.

He added that the safety of the water heater must be checked when it is used because any defect in it may cause it to explode and choose good separators, pointing out the importance of using differential circuit breakers to reduce electrification in the house.

He stressed the need to rationalize the consumption of electricity and the use of energy-saving electrical appliances and ensure the presence of energy label on them, which contributes to the preservation of the electrical system and reduce the value of electricity bills on citizens.

He concluded by pointing out that the fires in Syria are less than global proportions and most of the fires we are seeing are caused by negligence and the lack of attention from the citizens often.
