It is estimated that there are around 51,000 more incidents of house burns each year, around 500

deaths, and more than 1400 injuries, and approximately 1.3 billion property losses. This is caused only
because of an error in installing the power cord at home. Therefore , it is important for us to pay
attention to the safety of electrical wiring in our home.

Joyce James, Colin Baker, and Helen swain [in Kang naudin.2017] Electricity is the flow or movement of
electrons is a negatively charged particle found on an atom.

[adang setiawan.2017] Electrical installation is an important part of a building, which serves as a support
for the comfort of its inhabitants.

There are several ways to deal with this, such as using a standard cable, using eight groups, the
installation of some components made of their own lines, proper use of power, grounding, checking
every 10 years, not using loose plugs, and doing supervision.

However, not all homeowners meet these standards, in fact if all homeowners do that, then the case of
fire will decrease.

Often homeowners do not use standard cables, Indonesian standards have determined if the cable size
for a 70 m2 home size is 2.5mm, and the larger the house size the thicker the cable size. In cutting the
cable is required not to cut too short, this will result in a short circuit.

The use of groups is very important, the group is a tool used to prevent excessive current from entering,
often the homeowner does not have enough groups so that the incoming electrical current is too large
and damage the group.

Installation of some components such as air conditioners and heaters can be done by making their own
lines, this is because the power required by these components is very large, if combined to cause an
excessive current load.

Conducting grounding, such as the current and power provided by PLN either because there is a check at
the PLN or there is damage to the substation will be channeled all into the ground, because the ground
is a vast and best place to channel currents and power.

Every electrical installation should be checked every 10 years, it is feared that there are some cables that
are damaged, torn, and dislodged. By checking, it can be ensured that the condition of the home
installation remains good.

Always use the right plug, because with a gap between the socket and plug causes a jumping current
and create a shock until the fire.

By following and implementing the above methods, everyone's safety at home will be guaranteed.
