There are many guidelines addressed in the NFPA 70 that make working with electrical hazards safer for employees. Here are some of the main areas of protection addressed: grounding of wires, fire alarm equipment, physical protection, abandoned supply circuits, communications equipment, temperature ratings, special requirements for information technology equipment room, among many other important guidelines.
Electric current is electric charge in motion, such as the flow of electrons through a wire. Electric current is electric charge in motion, such as the flow of electrons through a wire.
1. Static electricity is caused by the build up of electrical charges on the surface of objects, while current electricity is a phenomenon from the flow of electrons along a conductor. 2. When objects are rubbed, a loss and/or gain of electrons occurs, which results in the phenomenon of static electricity.
