This section describes the precautions for AC power sockets

This article describes some precautions when using AC power sockets:

(1) Optional equipment; The power supply wire must use a copper cross section. Aluminum wire oxidizes easily. There have been inquiries showing that the use of aluminum wire users, the probability of electrical fire is dozens of times higher than copper wire. Wiring must comply with the “front into the switch, zero line into the lamp head” principle, leakage protection equipment is set on the socket even.

(2) Less circuit: in general, AC socket can choose two or three circuits, kitchen, bathroom go all the way, air conditioning use a circuit.

Lack of protection: there is often water and fume in the kitchen and bathroom, so the best equipment on the socket panel splash box or plastic baffle. The ground wire is connected with the electrical enclosure, once the electrical leakage, will cause an electric shock.

④ Common: air conditioning, washing machine, range hood and other high-power electrical appliances are best to use independent sockets.

⑤ the use of the old national standard: universal hole socket, that is, the jack can be compatible with the north and South Pole or three poles, and even the British standard, American standard, European standard such as the ordinary use of plug socket. But this kind of socket because the jack is larger, AC socket piece and electrical plug contact area is too small, brief contact piece overheating caused by fire attack.

⑥ Azimuth is too low: many families in the equipment socket, feel too high for beauty, will be installed in the lower hidden azimuth. Cause any leakage of electricity. Industry rules, clearly installed socket from the ground is best not less than 1.8 meters; The concealed socket shall not be less than 0.3 m above the ground. The kitchen and bathroom socket should be within 1.5 meters above the ground, air-conditioning outlet at least more than 2 meters.
