Electrical current leakage can pose a serious risk to home safety. It occurs when the electrical current deviates from its designated conductors, dispersing through unintended paths.

For example:

• damaged cable insulation due to wear, high temperatures, or chemical agents;

• damaged electrical appliances can be a source of leakage;

• malfunctioning outlets and switches, and structural problems in the system, such as oxidized connections;

• moisture that can penetrate the system.

Detecting leakage is not always easy, but evident signs can be identified, such as:

• Frequent tripping of the circuit breaker could indicate a problem;

• A slight shock when touching appliances or metal surfaces;

• An unexplained increase in electricity consumption;

• The presence of a burning smell near outlets are further indicators.

Preventing and identifying these leakages is essential to ensure a safe and efficient environment in your home.
