Burnt or Corroded Electrical Cables – A Silent Threat to Safety and System Performance
Burnt or corroded electrical cables are more than just a sign of aging infrastructure—they are active safety hazards that can lead to system failure, electrical shocks, or devastating fires. These conditions often result from prolonged exposure to excessive electrical load, moisture ingress, poor installation practices, or chemical corrosion. Over time, the integrity of the cable deteriorates, compromising the flow of electricity and increasing the risk of dangerous faults.
Tell-tale signs may include the smell of burning near outlets or switchboards, visible blackening around cable ends, frequent tripping of circuit breakers, or inconsistent power supply. However, many faults remain hidden within walls, ceilings, or underground, making them difficult to detect without professional inspection. Ignoring these early warnings can lead to costly damage—not only to your electrical system but to your property and personal safety.
