Socket doesn't catch fire, don't take life to save money

>>>10 causes of fire caused by switch socket

Do you know what electrical equipment is the most dangerous and most costly to burn? Not a computer, not a TV, but your power outlet. In the home improvement process, the switch socket is often considered to be the least important link, but if the power socket is improperly installed, it will become an “invisible bomb” buried in the wall. Data from the Ministry of Public Security show that fires caused by power outlets, switches, circuit breakers, etc. accounted for about 30% of all fires in 10 years and ranked first in all types of fires. Among them, the quality of the switch socket and the problems caused by its installation are just one of the important causes of electrical fires.

At the beginning of May 2006, Mr. Liu of Shanghai used $7 to claim an electrical appliance store to buy a multi-purpose socket outlet and go home to install it on a wooden building. On the morning of May 21, when Mr. Liu was not at home, a fire broke out in his home. Fortunately, his neighbors heard and heard the news and came to extinguish the fire. The economic loss of this fire reached more than 3,000 yuan. Mr. Liu found out that the fire was caused by the poor quality of the newly purchased power strip outlet, and found the owner to seek compensation and was rejected by Zhang.

Reminder: This is another case of victimization caused by improper selection of outlets. At present, many outlet manufacturers use low-priced plastic as raw materials to reduce costs. These low-priced plastics have poor temperature resistance and low flame retardancy. They are prone to softening and deformation in the long-term use, resulting in short circuits and fire incidents. This reporter learned that most of the market attracts consumers with low prices. Many units have nearly ten million computer outlets in their offices, and the price is only around RMB 10. However, according to relevant sources, the quality of socket products under RMB 20 is not high. The metal reeds inside such sockets have poor continuity and are easy to accumulate heat. As the surge in power consumption causes electrical sparking, contact aging, circuit breaking, deformation, and virtual connection, the family is buried with serious fire hazards. . National statistics show that the national sampling rate of socket products is only 22.6%! Flame retardant sockets that can play a role in fire fighting are even rarer!

The quality of the outlets varies greatly. Once you choose a shoddy outlet, it seems that you seem to “save” a hand. You know, you have buried yourself in security risks. How to avoid the fire caused by the socket? In fact, the practice is very simple. When we purchase the socket, we must choose the socket made of excellent flame-retardant housing material. It can fundamentally eliminate the generation and spread of the fire source. In addition, the metal reed inside the socket is best to use phosphor bronze. Material, this material has excellent conductivity, small temperature rise, avoids socket work for a long time, internal heat accumulation is too high and spontaneous combustion. Buying a reputable branded outlet in a big shopping mall can't be mistaken.
