Electricity is useful and dangerous in equal measure, so a few rules prevent most accidents. Never overload an outlet, and switch off at the breaker before working on anything wired. Insulation on a cord protects you, so a frayed one is a real hazard and should be replaced. Keep electricity away from moisture, since water conducts a shock. A grounded system gives stray current a safe path away. This word puzzle gathers eleven terms.
Frequently asked questions
What does grounded mean in this electricity safety word search?
A GROUNDED circuit has a safe path for stray current to flow into the earth, so a fault trips the BREAKER instead of shocking a person.
Why is a frayed cord dangerous?
A FRAYED cord exposes the wire beneath its INSULATION, which can cause a SHOCK or a spark, so it should be replaced rather than taped.
