Fire Prevention Week is October 4-10, 2020!

 

This year’s theme is “Serve up Fire Safety in the Kitchen.” Kitchen fires are the leading cause of home fires, and unattended cooking fires are the leading cause of kitchen fires. With more people home due to the pandemic, everyone is cooking more! One ingredient you need every time you cook is safety.

Fire is fast, dark, and hot. You only have 1 to 3 minutes to escape most fires, so you must be prepared to leave quickly. Fires are preventable. Take some time during Fire Prevention Week to learn how to serve up fire safety in the kitchen.

• Stay in the kitchen when cooking. Never leave cooking unattended.
• Wear tight-fitting clothing when cooking. Loose-fitting clothing can easily catch fire.
• Keep pot handles facing inward so pans can’t get knocked to the floor.
• Teach children to stay 3-feet away from the stove.
• Put a lid on stovetop fires. Keep a pot lid handy when cooking to smother stovetop fires. Then turn off the stove.
• Never use water or a fire extinguisher on a grease fire. Water and extinguishers can spread the fire. Put a lid on a stovetop fire.
• Keep things that can burn (paper, potholders, towels, plastic bags) away from the stove.
• For oven or microwave fires, keep the door closed, turn off the appliance and call the fire department.

 If there is a fire, remember:

• Leave the building immediately and call 9-1-1.
• If your clothing catches fire, stop, drop, cover & roll to put out the flames.
• Most fire victims are hurt trying to fight the fire. Leave firefighting to the professionals.

To keep your home safe from fire:

• Make sure you have working smoke alarms.
• Test your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms monthly. If the alarms have regular batteries, change them every time you change the clocks.
• Unplugging Items from Overloaded Outlets or Circuits— Fires often start when too many things are plugged into a single outlet or circuit, overloading them.
• Using Extension Cords Properly— Another frequent cause of fires is using extension cords, especially with appliances that generate heat like space heaters, irons, and toasters. Extension cords are designed for temporary use, but many people leave them in place permanently and forget about them. Cords can easily become pinched by furniture and, over time, lead to a fire.
• Unplugging Appliances by Grasping the Plug— Do not pull by the cord.
• Using Space Heaters Safely – Keep space heaters 3 feet away from drapes, furniture, or other things that can burn. Plug heaters directly into wall outlets and turn them off when you leave the room.
• Using Light Bulbs of the Correct Wattage in Lamps and Fixtures— Bulbs whose wattage is too high can overheat the fixture or wiring, which can cause an electrical fire. Switching to LED lights can provide the same amount of light at a lower wattage.
• Hiring a Licensed Electrician — If you need to have electrical work done in your home for any reason, hire a licensed professional who knows the code.

You can help prevent electrical fires at home simply by using your home’s electrical system properly. Look around for electrical hazards in your home and correct them. Certain items can expose you and your family to the risk of fire.

In addition to using appliances and outlets safely, every Maryland resident should take steps to keep the electrical system in their home in good working order and learn the warning signs of an electrical fire or faulty electrical system.

Small upgrades and safety checks can prevent larger problems!

Three Phase UPS

Three Phase UPS systems offer higher efficiency, reliability, and scalability compared to single-phase UPS. They are commonly used in data centers, industrial facilities, and critical infrastructure.


Features of the Three Phase UPS:

1. Scalability: The Three Phase UPS systems are highly scalable, allowing for easy expansion as the power requirements of the facility increase. This makes them suitable for both small and large-scale applications.

2. Redundancy: These UPS systems are equipped with redundant components, such as redundant power modules and redundant fans, to ensure uninterrupted power supply even in the event of a component failure.

3. High Efficiency: The Three Phase UPS systems are designed to operate at high efficiency levels, reducing energy consumption and minimizing operating costs. They often incorporate advanced technologies, such as double conversion topology and energy-saving modes, to achieve this.

4. Advanced Battery Management: These UPS systems come with advanced battery management features, including battery monitoring, temperature compensation, and automatic battery testing. This ensures the reliability and longevity of the battery system.

5. Remote Monitoring and Management: Many Three Phase UPS systems offer remote monitoring and management capabilities, allowing users to monitor the UPS status, perform diagnostics, and make configuration changes remotely. This improves the overall system management and reduces maintenance costs.

Performance of the Three Phase UPS:

1. Power Capacity: The Three Phase UPS systems are capable of handling high power capacities, typically ranging from a few kilowatts to several megawatts. This makes them suitable for powering critical equipment in data centers, manufacturing plants, hospitals, and other large-scale facilities.

2. Voltage Regulation: These UPS systems provide precise voltage regulation, ensuring a stable and clean power supply to the connected equipment. This helps in preventing equipment damage and data loss caused by voltage fluctuations and surges.

3. Fault Tolerance: The Three Phase UPS systems are designed with fault-tolerant features, such as redundant components and parallel operation capability. This ensures high availability and reliability of the power supply, even during maintenance or component failures.

4. Fast Switchover: In the event of a power outage or voltage disturbance, the Three Phase UPS systems provide fast switchover times, typically in milliseconds, to ensure seamless power transfer and uninterrupted operation of the connected equipment.
