Understanding the
Appliance Parts
When using appliances in your home, every member of the household should be aware of these points.
• Locate and remedy any condition that produces an electrical shock be
sure the appliance is properly grounded before its put back into use.
• Never use a piece of electrical appliances in a wet location or when
you are wet, and never use it when touching another --rounded object
such as a water pipe or even the frame of the appliance itself.
• Always turn the appliances off before removing the plug from an
outlet. Always grasp the plug and not the cord to remove it from the
receptacle. If a cord disconnects from the appliance as well as from the
receptacle, always plug the cord into the appliance before plugging it
into the wall conversely also remove the plug from the wall outlet
before disconnecting from the appliance.
• Never run a cord over hot pipes, radiators, or other hot objects and don't allow the cord or the appliance to become wet.
Here's the reason for using this method. If a slip occurs, the current
through the body can have a direct effect on the extent of injury
current flowing from the hand to the elbow, for instance, will not be
as serious as that flowing through both hands since it then passes
directly across the chest and heart. Keeping one hand lessens the
possibilities of this. However is not recommending even this procedure.
It's far safer to attach both leads and keep them off completely.
Appliance capacitors are found in many motor-driven appliances. They
act as "storehouses" for electricity, and must be discharged before
handling or testing them. To avoid blowing an internal fuse used in
many capacitors, discharge them with a 20,000-ohm, 2-watt wire-wound
resistor. You can purchase one at any appliance parts supplier. Wrap the
resistor with tape and handle it so you don't come in contact with the
un insulated leads. Touching the appliance resistor across the
capacitor terminals will bleed away any residual charge. After doing
this, you can test it safely.
In home appliances, the conductor is usually a wire. In some cases, it
may be a bus bar, a strip of metal which carries electrical current. It
is a means of conducting the current from one point to another without
loss of voltage. It is a means of getting the current from the power
supply to the load, the part of the circuit which actually does the
work. It is at the load that power is used, and it is the appliance
conductor which transports it there. Some examples of loads are
appliance motors, appliance heating elements, lights and buzzers.
When you test with the volt-ohm meter, an appliance conductor should
read 0 resistances. Any break in the conductor will keep the appliance
from functioning. Any change in the dimensions of a conductor, which
could occur when you strip the insulation off and cut down into the
wire itself, actually reduces the size of the appliance conductor. The
smaller the conductor, the less current it will carry, just as a
quarter-inch water pipe with a force of 100 pounds per square inch will
deliver less water than a 1 -inch pipe when the same amount of force
is applied. Therefore, it's necessary to use extreme care when you're
attaching terminals, or handling a conductor in any way, to keep from
breaking or cutting any part of the conductor.
