However, most residents do not know that there are many hidden dangers in the socket board. Here, the general public is reminded to use the socket board with caution and always pay attention to the safety of electricity use.
1. Avoid plugging and unplugging with wet hands. If you have water on your hands to plug and unplug, because water is a conductor, it will lead to electric shock accidents.
2. If the socket plug is found to be abnormal, replace it in time. When it is found that the socket temperature is too high or there is arcing or ignition, the plug and socket are in poor contact. When the plug is too loose or too tight. It should be stopped in time and replaced.
3. Avoid "small horse-drawn carts" The socket has one main indicator, the rated current. It is required that the rated current of the electrical appliance plugged into the socket should not be greater than the rated current of the socket, that is, you cannot use a pony to pull a cart, otherwise the socket will heat up, affect the service life, damage the electrical appliance and even cause a fire. Pay special attention, do not use high-power household appliances such as air conditioners and microwave ovens into sockets with low rated current.
4. If the socket and the plug do not match, the socket should be replaced to avoid changing the size and shape of the plug. After buying electrical appliances, many families find that the plug does not match the socket at home. The solution is not to replace the socket, but to change the size or shape of the electrical plug. The most common one is to break off the ground pin in the three-pin plug and insert it into the two-pin socket. The main hazard of doing so is to cause poor contact between the plug and the socket (because the three-pin plug is slanted), reduce the reliability of the power supply of household appliances, and damage household appliances and plugs and sockets. Even cause a fire, a more serious problem is that the metal casing of household appliances should be grounded. If it is not grounded, when the housing of the household appliance is electrified due to a fault, an electric shock accident will occur once the human body touches it. A large number of statistical results show that most of the electrocution deaths caused by the use of household appliances are caused by this reason. Therefore, when the electrical plug does not correspond to the specification of the socket, do not artificially change the size or shape of the plug. Be sure to take the method of replacing the socket.
5. Carefully use the multi-purpose power socket The multi-purpose power socket has many jacks, which is convenient and economical to use. Many families, especially rural families, like to use it, and the electrical appliances plugged into the multi-purpose socket are often turned on at the same time. This seems convenient, but in fact there are many disadvantages and many unexpected harms. One is to cause the power supply voltage to drop.
