RE: SLC21/WK1: Introduction to Basic Electrical Hand Tools & Measuring Instruments.

The sockets in my home look different, no light. Also before I would start I switch off the power! You don't do that nor advice to do so?
We have a main power switch plus switches for different groups.

If the power is off I first check the main (safety) switch. If that one is still working the problem is inside the house, if not it's the town and the energy company can be called or the city or I wait till they switch it on.

If inside and it is one of the groups some electric tool is defect. If I remove it (that tool) and switch on that group everything is back to normal.

Officially, we are not allowed to do this ourselves 🤐

The tools you show I have but I wonder how people join who can't buy it.

Good luck teaching.

Dear, Thank you very much for your nice comment. I understand from reading your comment that you have appliances to work in case of electrical problems in your home. Some important electrical appliances should be kept in every home.

Just as it is important to have first aid kits in every home, we should all have basic electrical troubleshooting equipment that you have in your home.

I am very happy to see your basic electrical knowledge. We all should have basic knowledge of electrical troubleshooting. You check the distribution box when your home's power goes out. Then you check with the power supply company if there is a problem. This is how step by step to check if there is electrical disconnection.

I suggest you check your electrical plug with a neon tester and then check the circuit breaker in your distribution box when you think you have power in your neighborhood but your home doesn't. Then you will find the primary problem.

Through our Basic Electricity Lesson, we want to teach a student how to check electricity with a minimum neon tester. We want every user to know at least basic electrical knowledge. It will cost some money.Thank you again.

I believe you are already a few steps forward if it comes to basic lessons. Is this a followup of a course?

I have a tester though it's mainly used to check the batteries.
