The necessity of choosing a good socket
release time: 2020-07-30  Browse:
Nowadays, the widespread popularity and increasing of household appliances has made life much more convenient, but it also brings many hidden dangers to the safe and healthy growth of children. Authoritative data shows that accidental injuries to children caused by sockets are increasing year by year, and "children's electricity safety" has become a social topic that has attracted much attention! In fact, as the "last hurdle" for household electricity, sockets and plugs are difficult to completely hide and are easily accessible by children. Many children will regard them as their own "toys", holding them and touching them, digging back and forth in the socket jacks with their fingers. Many of the "destroy kings" with strong hands-on ability will use tweezers, blades, etc. "Tools" to disassemble, use a lighter to burn... etc.

Under such a premise, the hazards of inferior sockets are particularly obvious. In order to lower the price and attract consumers, those miscellaneous, unlicensed, and counterfeit sockets are doing everything possible to save materials and reduce costs. They cut corners in all aspects, and they often bring many hidden dangers to children in the process of use: first, inferior sockets have no safety. Protective measures, children are easy to get an electric shock when contacted; secondly, low-quality socket materials have poor temperature resistance and low flame retardant ability. They are prone to heat and burns after long-term work. They are easy to burn when exposed to open flames. Children are not only easy to be burned when playing, but also may burn when using lighters Cause a large-scale fire; once again, poor quality sockets are crudely manufactured, the product has sharp edges and corners, burrs are common, and the pressure and impact resistance are insufficient. Children are easily broken when they are dropped. At the same time, the bolts are loose and easy to disassemble, and children are easily cut...

In addition, the power sockets used in many homes are relatively aging, and long-term use poses serious safety risks to families. Many netizens believe that the life span of the socket is very long, and the socket can be used normally when it is energized. In fact, this idea is completely wrong. As a professional manufacturer of switch sockets, Foton Electric will list you the following seven safety hazards:
First, the socket is pressed by combustibles or dust falls into the socket to cause a short circuit, or is installed in a flammable and explosive dangerous place, and sparks are generated when the plug is inserted or unplugged, causing an explosion and fire;
Second, if the plug is damaged and not replaced in time, use a bare wire instead of the plug, which may cause a short circuit or spark, and cause combustibles to catch fire;
Third, some bedside switches are left at hand after use. The switch hits the bed frame or the wall and damages the outer insulation layer, which is very likely to cause a short circuit;
Fourth, the working voltage and working current of the household appliances do not match the power of the sockets used, and long-term overload, once the temperature is too high, it will cause a fire;
Fifth, the switch is improperly installed, especially when the switch is placed on a combustible object. Once the sheath of the lead wire is scratched, the wire core will be exposed or water vapor will penetrate, causing a short circuit, or an arc will be generated when the switch is disconnected, causing a fire ;
Sixth, the switchboard is not placed in the junction box, hot metal particles will splash when the fuse is blown, causing the combustibles below to burn;
Seventh, when the combustible gas used in the home leaks from a pipe or valve, and the combustible gas mixes with air to a certain limit, a spark will be generated when the electrical switch that does not eliminate the arc device is opened and closed.
