Family Life Knows Everything.

Chapter 216 Don't share sockets with TVs and computers
Now, all kinds of home appliances are flooding every family, but there are only a few power sockets on the wall, so the plug boards in the house are often overcrowded, and air conditioners, TVs, refrigerators, microwave ovens, and rice cookers share sockets. phenomenon abounds.This may save a plug board, but there is a great potential safety hazard.

When electrical appliances are in use, the current required by each electrical appliance must flow through the socket wire, and the current flowing through each square millimeter of a wire is limited.If the total power of all electrical appliances on the same power strip is too large, the wire will heat up, and the insulation layer outside the wire will easily age and become soft.Once the temperature of the wire exceeds the melting point of the metal, the wire will be blown quickly, causing a fire.Relevant experts pointed out that a variety of electrical appliances share one socket, especially high-power electrical appliances share one socket, which increases the possibility of electrical accidents.

Generally, socket wires are required to pass a current of about 16 amperes, while electrical appliances such as TVs and computers require about 10 amperes of current. Therefore, TVs and computers cannot share sockets.And high-power electrical appliances such as air conditioners not only need a separate plug-in board, but the wires of the plug-in board should not be too thin.
