Here is the English translation of your article, maintained in a professional, technical, and persuasive tone suitable for your branding:
Not a day goes by without an electrical fire or a related problem occurring. While many people are not fully aware of it, electricity is one of the leading causes of the dozens of fires that break out around us every day!
Competing with cigarettes as a primary cause of fire, electricity has shown a steady increase over the last 10 years. While cigarette-related fires have regressed from 54% to approximately 33%, electricity-related fires have climbed from 17% to 27%. It appears that if necessary precautions are not taken, electricity will soon take the lead.
So, what are these necessary precautions, and who is responsible for taking them? To answer this, we must first identify the source of the problem. If we look at the regulatory side, there is already a “Regulation on the Preparation of Electrical Indoor Installation Projects.” This means that when a dynamic engineer prepares a project, they are required by the regulations to include an overvoltage suppressor—which prevents electrical fluctuations—in the design. Therefore, the first party responsible for buildings constructed after 2003 is the project engineer.
As an association, we are striving to raise awareness so that tragedies like the one in Adana, Aladağ—where we paid the price with the lives of 11 of our children—never happen again. However, making our voices heard is not easy. No matter what the regulation says, as long as there is no conscious awareness or an effective inspection mechanism; as long as we have engineers who, out of a misplaced admiration for foreign solutions, claim that “they’ve already done what’s necessary, a standard surge arrester (parafudr) is enough”; and as long as technical personnel who complicate the process—rather than understanding that simple measures like overvoltage suppressors protect against lightning and transformer explosions—are not held accountable, our task remains very difficult.
In our future steps as an association, we will start frequently reminding technical personnel in public and private sector projects of their responsibilities. Many assume they bear no liability, yet they could face prison sentences ranging from 8 to 12 years in the event of a fire, as seen in the Aladağ disaster.
What happens if a project engineer fails to include an overvoltage suppressor or only includes a standard surge arrester? Unfortunately, nothing happens until a fire breaks out. Because the relevant Electricity Distribution Company performs its inspections according to the “Electrical Indoor Installations Regulation”—which does not currently include overvoltage suppressors in its product checklist—it approves the energy intake and the system is energized. Therefore, the second party responsible is indirectly the Electricity Distribution Company, for failing to conduct inspections according to the “Project Preparation Regulation” despite having the authority to do so.
The responsibility of the Electricity Distribution Company does not end there. According to the “Regulation on Service Quality Regarding Electricity Distribution and Retail Sale,” published in the Official Gazette dated December 21, 2012 (No. 28504), the relevant Electricity Distribution Company is also responsible for providing compensation for the burning of electrical and electronic devices that is not due to user error.
The amount our country pays towards the current account deficit due to electronic card damage caused by overvoltage reaches staggering figures, around 2 Billion USD annually. If we imagine this being paid by the Electricity Distribution Companies, either no distribution company would be left standing, or, by taking a simple precaution like an overvoltage suppressor, we would ensure the safety of life and property. Furthermore, by ensuring energy quality, those enormous sums paid abroad for electronic cards would stay in our pockets during these difficult economic times.
Would you like me to prepare a “Technical Comparison Sheet” in English that highlights the specific functional differences between a standard Surge Arrester (Parafudr) and Trimbox?
