Keep your home safe in extreme weather with Himel products

Weather changes but our appliances and electrical system don’t. It is therefore important to invest in the right quality electrical products that can bear the brunt of adverse weather. If our switches, sockets, wires and other peripherals of power distribution system are proven to perform safely under extreme conditions expected in desert or tropics and seaside, these prone-to-adverse-weather areas can access electricity safely.

At Himel, our focus is to manufacture and provide low voltage distribution, final distribution and home electric products that ensure safety in ordinary and extreme weather alike. We ensure this through thorough testing of products in our state-of-the-art manufacturing and testing facilities. Here, we touch on

Lightning and thunderstorms

During summers, lightning and thunderstorms are a pleasant surprise, soothing us from the heat but lightning can cause damage without even striking us directly. Moreover, heavy rainfall and wind possesses chances of ingress of rain, moisture and dust which can damage the electrical sockets or equipment specially placed outdoor.

With Himel weatherproof series, the ideal residential weatherproof protection, you could save the electrical networks sensitive to moisture and dust. IP12 and IP55 rated covers with 06 different colors and two different finishes, both shiny and matte with an additional safety lock to protect against misuse, makes sure the safety against short circuit faults and décor of the home are to the point.

The second line of protection would be installation of Himel Consumer boxes which can house the Himel MCBs, RCBOs, Surge Protective devices and many more. The ingress of moisture can not only damage the power sockets but basic protective switchgears as well. These distribution boxes of varied sizes, come with a IP30 grade suitable to protect both the commercial and residential buildings.

Install Himel MCBs to protect your residential buildings from short circuit faults arising out of adverse weather conditions or any other abnormalities. It is always safe to install Himel MCBs in place of the old conventional fuses.

To add on, an extra safe approach would be installation of Himel RCBOs which not only protects from short circuit but even the minutest of earth fault during heavy rains, lightning, or thunderstorms. A current operated device, RCBO detects any earth fault and provides a comprehensive protection against leakage current, overload as well as the short circuit currents thus protecting both equipment and human beings from electrical shocks.

Surge alert

Enjoying a hot cup of coffee on a rainy day with the laptop plugged to the socket can become a nightmare, if the laptop or as a matter of fact any electronic equipment fails to start. To protect your electrics from over voltage transients that can occur when the lightning strikes the power supply lines or because of reasons beyond one’s control, do follow these tips to stay safe and to reduce the risks associated with it.

Just Unplug

The most convenient, easy, and hassle-free method is to unplug all your electrics, be it television, refrigerator, microwave, computers, or anything else in case of lightning and thunder. Keep nothing connected to the source and wait for the weather to normalize before plugging them back in.

Use Himel Surge Protective devices

Voltage Surge generated can be nullified by installing Himel Surge Protective devices at the final distribution circuit of your home. These devices, once installed, are good to protect your devices and appliances from electricity bursts, and can be replaced easily, once the job is done.

Extreme Summer or Heatwaves

Generally, it is extremely difficult to keep up with the pace of life during the heated summers. This is applicable not only to humans but on electrical grids as well. Extreme temperature increases the use of electrical appliances, which in turn makes the grid work harder to transmit power to the already heated and less efficient transmission lines. These results in constant voltage undulation which can adversely affect the appliances at home. Here are a few steps which would lessen the burden on your pocket and on the grids as well.

Use Himel Voltage Stabilizers

The constant fluctuations on voltage levels can be catastrophic for the appliances and specially the air conditioners at home. Use of voltage stabilizers aids in providing specified voltage output apart from the additional temperature rise protections, time-delay, phase failure protection and surge protections enabling smooth stabilization and continuous stable voltage at your dwellings.
