Electrical lighting circuit failures can generally be categorized into four main types: leakage, overload, short circuit, and open circuit. Understanding the causes and solutions for these issues is essential to ensure safety and proper functioning of electrical systems. 1. **Causes of Circuit Failures** (1) **Leakage**: This occurs when the insulation of wires or components is damaged or aged, allowing current to escape from its intended path. The leakage current may form a loop through the building structure or ground. A phase-to-neutral loop might still exist, but if the leakage is minor, it may not show obvious symptoms. However, severe leakage can lead to electric shocks on metal structures or increased power consumption. Common causes include: - Poor construction practices that damage insulation. - Long-term wear and tear causing aging of insulation. - Illegal installations, such as burying wires directly in paint layers. (2) **Overload**: This happens when the actual power demand exceeds the capacity of the wiring system. The result is overheating of protective devices like fuses. If the protection fails, it could lead to serious electrical accidents. Overload is often caused by: - Small conductor cross-sections that don't match the actual load. - Low voltage causing appliances to draw more current to compensate, leading to overload. (3) **Short Circuit**: One of the most common causes of electrical fires, short circuits occur when a direct connection is made between two points of different potentials. Causes include: - Poor construction quality and non-standard installation. - Internal faults in electrical devices. - Aging or damaged wiring. - External damage to cables or accessories. 2. **Troubleshooting Methods** (1) If an appliance has a fault such as leakage, short circuit, or open circuit, it should be repaired before being used again. Never operate faulty equipment. (2) For issues with lamp accessories like sockets, switches, or lamp holders—such as loose connections, insulation aging, or mechanical failure—replace or repair the faulty components promptly. (3) If faults are due to poor installation or incorrect wiring, rework the connections according to standard procedures and best practices. (4) If wire insulation is old or the core wire is too thin, replace the wiring with new, properly sized cables that meet safety standards. (5) To prevent short circuits and overloads caused by excessive power usage or oversized fuses, always follow safe electricity use practices. Eliminate unsafe behaviors like overloading circuits or using improper fuse sizes to ensure the safety of both the power supply lines and connected devices.
