  • Stay away from the power grid and don't set off fireworks toward power poles and cables. They can cause a short circuit, interrupting the local electricity supply;
 
  • Street and square ornaments with typical flags, banners and other props must be produced with materials that are not conductive to electricity and cannot be attached close to electrical wiring. They should never be tied to poles or even to wires conducting electricity;
 
  • Releasing balloons is a crime, in addition to being a very risky game, especially if the balloon comes into contact with an energized wire or falls inside a substation. In the latter case, there are risks of explosions;
  • In the case of temporary energy connections for the supply of electrical installations in camps or stalls that sell typical foods and fireworks, the service can only be performed by the energy distributor that serves your region;

 

  • Clandestine connection (cat or energy monkey), in addition to overloading the system, representing a risk of short circuit and serious accidents, is a crime provided for in the Brazilian Criminal Code;

 

  • Fire pits must not be built under or near the electrical grid. The heat of the flames can overheat the network, causing the wiring to break;
  • The assembly of clowns, tents and camps must be carried out with the use of products that are difficult to burn, due to the risk of fire;

 

  • Always keep a safe distance of at least two meters below or laterally to electrical networks, especially when handling parts and rebars, for example;
 
  • Party venues must comply with protection requirements, such as the use of circuit breakers suitable for the installed load, calculation of the wire gauge, and installation of grounding in all circuits. The wires must be properly insulated so that they do not come into contact with clown structures, especially metal ones.

Neoenergia's distributors are working intensively to guarantee the supply of electricity with quality and safety during São João.
