Electricity is a fundamental need for all levels of society, ranging from industrial requirements to basic household necessities. Ensuring the safety of electrical installations in homes or offices is crucial, as these systems must comply with established standards to prevent incidents such as electric shocks and fires caused by short circuits, which can lead to significant material losses and even fatalities. Despite this, many communities lack adequate knowledge about proper electrical installation and maintenance procedures, increasing the risk of fires and electrocution. To address these issues, the Community Service Program (PKM) conducted by lecturers from the Electrical Engineering Study Program, Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Pamulang, focuses on the renovation of electrical installations at Babusalam Mosque, located in Daru Estate Residential Area, Mekar Sari, Jembe Subdistrict, Tangerang Regency, Banten. This activity involves replacing and upgrading outdated electrical components and systems to ensure compliance with safety standards. The program aims to enhance public awareness and understanding of safe electrical energy use, thereby promoting the safety and security of equipment, buildings, and the community. Regular and comprehensive inspections of electrical installations are emphasized as a preventive measure to mitigate potential hazards, ensuring a safer environment for all.
