What if in the bathroom "electric shocks" - to solve the problem once and for all

Each at least a couple of times in my life ever experience the feeling of electric shock. Even if as a child you were obedient child, and kept away from the outlets and the bare wires, and as an adult, always use the services of professionals, all the same you know the feeling electric current.

Woolen clothing or blanket in which you wrapped accumulate static electricity, and give your body. Touching the metal object or another person discharge occurs, and the larger the potential, the stronger will experience.

From everyday phenomenon of static electricity still has not died, but the AC voltage in the home electrical networks - 220 - it can be dangerous not only for health, but also life. From the point of view of physics, the most dangerous place in the apartment is a bathroom.

Here, the owners may feel light jabs electricity from metal surfaces, household instruments, such as the housing of the heater or washing machine, as well as cast iron or steel bath. Even water flowing from a tap, may leave unpleasant "itching" low voltages.

If you notice such phenomena systematically, it is an occasion to think seriously about their causes. There may be several:

• Through-metal constructions, Which pass through several apartments can be used by one of your neighbors as a ground loop. These include metal radiators and towel warmers, as well as water pipes and risers. In older homes the wiring in an apartment has only two cores.

Note! Realizing the dangers of using unearthed devices craftsmen vanish on their heating and water pipes battery. Now, in the case of a breakdown in the category of large appliances will go around the riser, and you can be on its way.

• Malfunction in a washing machine It can lead to the fact that one of the power wires touches the housing or drum. While it's only broken isolation, you will feel a light tingling. But suddenly there will be a power surge? DO NOT remove wet clothes at this point.
• Water itself can "pinch" electrocution due violating the integrity of the tubular heating element in the boiler. As the water - an excellent conductor, you can, "the hard way" feel the problem is not only its boiler, but also a neighbor.
• Wall wiring in the case of damage It can also be closed on the wall. In a dry environment that would be potentially dangerous, but certainly it would not be felt. The bathroom has high humidity, it increases the risk of electric shock, many times.

To once and for all deal with the leakage of electricity in the bathroom need to conduct a range of activities. Of course, if you ascertain the cause, you can do only one of the items, but who can guarantee that the danger does not appear for another reason? Therefore, to solve complex problems:

Step 1.check the wiring. Usually eliminating problems during repairs, so do not be lazy, changing the tile in the bathroom to open Stroebe and check all the wires on the integrity of the insulation. If the wires are old, you can replace them. If you find a problem area - it can only be replaced.

The most competent embodiment will Organization of the grounding circuit in the apartment - it will help to solve the problem and with a washing machine and a water heater and other appliances in the house. For grounded sockets can not be afraid to connect hairdryers and razors in the bathroom. Sockets select appropriate, with moisture protection.

Step 2. Check appliances in places where cable can get into the body. Pay special attention to TENam boiler and washing machine - according to statistics, this is where most of the breakdown of limestone corrosion. check PETN It can be combined with the cleaning of the tank and the boiler machines.

Step 3. The most unpleasant experience - when in your home all done by the rules, and on the pipes still wanders charge. Initiate a review by the authorities. If you find the culprit fails, spodvigaet neighbors change Risers heating and water supply for polypropylene. Respectable neighbors are likely to support the upgrade.
