Potential safety hazards in the use of wall switch sockets

Dec 01,2022 / BY DEVELOPERS
The potential safety hazards of using wall switch sockets are as follows:
1. The switch socket is pressed by inflammables or dust falls into it to cause a short circuit, or it 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;
2. If the plug is damaged and is not replaced in time, use a bare wire instead of the plug, causing a short circuit or sparks, causing combustibles to catch fire;
3. Some bedside switches are put away after use, and the switch hits the bed frame or wall and damages the outer insulation layer, which is very likely to cause a short circuit;





4. The working voltage and working current of the lamp holder do not match the power of the socket used, and if it is overloaded for a long time, it will cause a fire if the temperature is too high;
5. The switch is improperly installed, especially if the switch is placed on a combustible object. Once the sheath at the lead-out point 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. ;
6. The power distribution board is not placed in the junction box. When the fuse is blown, hot metal particles will splash down, causing the combustibles below to burn;
7. When the combustible gas used in households leaks from pipes or valves, when the combustible gas and air mix to a certain limit, opening and closing the electrical switch without arc elimination device will generate sparks, causing fire or explosion.
