Give reason it is not safe to carry out electrical repairs outdoor during a heavy downpour.
Answers
In such a case, there is a very likely chance that rain water will splash on to the electrical circuit and in the process, the person handling or repairing it will get electrocuted.
This could be a very dangerous situation, leading to serious electric shock and burns or even resulting in fatality.
Water or wetness provides a conducting path for the electric current to flow from the live wire. Hence it is always advisable to handle electrical appliances with dry hands and following proper precautions.
Answer:
No. It is not safe to repair electrical appliances outdoors during a heavy downpour. Rainwater is composed of a certain percentage of dissolved salts making it conductive. This may cause electric shocks and harm the electrician while working outdoors during heavy downpours.
