Description
English: Description of widespread mistake in old houses. Some homeowners buy washing machine or other electrical appliences with ground contact in their plug, but fuse box has only hot and neutral wire. One of danger mistake is creating bridge between neutral in socket, but it is extremely danger (if the neutral breakes somewhere, all metal covers will have linear voltage on them).
  • Here is description of one more danger mistake: using pipes as the ground. Pipes are not designed to keep constant contact with gound, sometimes they can be disassembled for repiring or being replaced by dielectric. It means, that direct contact could be losen easily and whole piping became dangerously energized such way. One more mistake is using gas pipes as the ground in such type of apartment buildings, this way whole house may explode and cause serious traumas to other inhabinants, even death. Also gas stoves "Brest" had 220/230V automatic ignitor with danger 01 safety class by connecting it to gas pipe, despite of it they were very popular in ex-USSR countries.
