Five essential guidelines have been provided by the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) to guarantee a steady and safe supply of electricity throughout the rainy season and other severe weather events. Residents are advised to engage a certified technician to make sure their system is in optimal condition while taking the precautions listed below.
Examine and secure any exposed electrical connections paying particular attention to those located outdoors or in other exposed locations. To prevent water damage, use watertight outlets and fixtures.
Check that connections are earthed, make sure that every electrical connection in the electrical panel or distribution board is correctly earthed. By taking this precaution, possible risks and electrical surges are less likely to occur.
Secure electrical cabinets, verify that all of your home’s electrical cabinets particularly those near the front door are firmly closed. By doing this, moisture cannot get inside and harm the wiring.
Replace broken meter windows, examine the meter windows by entrances or in your utility room. Replace any damaged ones as a way to keep water from getting to delicate equipment.
Seal spare conduits, If the building’s roof contains spare conduits that are not sealed, water may enter through them causing moisture to accumulate and perhaps damaging the wiring or causing short circuits.
