・The equipment subject to the guidance cannot be used for all distribution boards. Depending on the type of distribution board, it may be difficult to install. If it is difficult to make a decision, please contact each manufacturer.
・ If an earthquake occurs at night, the lights will be turned off, which may hinder quick and safe evacuation outdoors, so be prepared.
・ If you live in a rental, please consult with the lender before applying because there is a need to recover the current situation.
・ If you have a medical device that is directly connected to the maintenance of life, be sure to have a battery that can deal with power outages.
・ When restoring power after a disaster, if you feel a burning smell, it is necessary to shut off the breaker immediately, check the safety again, and if you do not know the cause, stop using electricity .
・ Check the operating performance of the seismic breaker regularly and replace parts as necessary.
