Why We Need Protection System?

•

•Electricity, like fire, can be either helpful or harmful to those who use it.

•A fire can keep people warm and comfortable when it is confined in a campfire or a furnace. It can be dangerous and destructive if it is on the loose and uncontrolled in the woods or in a building.

•Electricity can provide people with the light to read by or, in a blinding flash, destroy their eyesight. It can help save people’s lives, or it can kill them. While we take advantage of the tremendous benefits electricity can provide, we must be careful to protect the people and systems that use it.
