Earthquakes are among the most feared natural disasters known to humanity. Even with the latest technology, they can only be predicted seconds in advance; tectonic movements allow us to estimate occurrences only within a 10–20 year window. They are the result of vibrations caused by the fracturing and displacement of the Earth’s layers.
The status of earthquakes as a natural disaster deepens and grows every day with increasing urbanization, high-rise structures, and rising populations. In earlier times, even if earthquakes were much larger, loss of life was significantly lower because structures were not as interconnected or multi-story as they are today. But are the measures taken to reduce the effects of earthquakes in our developing world sufficient?
Earthquakes have introduced a secondary disaster into our lives: Electricity-sourced fires during an earthquake.
Vibrations during an earthquake cause intense electrical usage due to panic. In major earthquakes, these tremors lead to disconnections and contact issues at connection points. High voltage and short circuits caused by the resulting contact between phase, neutral, and ground can burn devices within a building, leading to fires.
The impact of earthquakes on electricity is not limited to fires; fluctuations, interruptions, and device failures in electrical systems can also lead to widespread internet and mobile communication problems.
As Trimbox, we fulfill our mission with a deep sense of responsibility. We meticulously prevent the effects of electrical fluctuations that may occur during earthquakes or in daily life—including device burnouts caused by lightning and transformer explosions—thereby eliminating the risk of resulting fires and preventing scenarios that could have grave consequences.
Major disasters can be weathered with simple precautions before the results become even heavier. The core principle is to act with civic awareness; instead of merely following the technologies imposed upon us, we must implement accepted innovations before disaster strikes. This contributes to navigating social disasters like earthquakes and fires with minimal damage, both for ourselves and for other members of society.
Protecting our electrical and electronic devices from every angle is vital—not only to prevent fire disasters but also to stop the outflow of national wealth spent on replacement devices, and to reduce environmental pollution and carbon emissions.
We must remember that according to the Regulation on the Preparation of Electrical Internal Facilities Projects published on December 3, 2003, the use of surge suppressors is mandatory in projects. Even if this were not regulated by law, it remains a fundamental reality of our society.
Simple precautions sometimes save lives. The best investment we can make for our family, our business, and our environment is protective measures. With Trimbox and GNDSeries, you can be protected from electricity-related damages and resulting electrical contact fires.
