recently A fire broke out in a resident's home in Daxing District, Beijing The cause was a faulty circuit in an old power strip that was charging the phone. How to determine whether the power strip is aging? How to use power strips safely? How to determine whether the power strip is aging? 01 See the service life The normal service life of a power strip is generally around three to five years , but it also depends on the quality and frequency of use. If it shows signs of damage or other aging, it needs to be replaced in a timely manner. 02 Look at the appearance Frequent use or dragging can easily cause damage to the hardware facilities of the power strip. If it breaks, dust will enter the circuit and cause a short circuit, which can easily cause a fire. 03 Look at the power cord After being used for a long time, the power cord is prone to "copper exposure" phenomenon, which can easily cause a short circuit. 04 Check electrical sockets There are two copper sheets inside the electrical socket. During frequent plugging and unplugging, the elasticity of the copper sheets will weaken, which can easily cause false connection or poor contact of the power strip, that is, the socket is not tight, which can easily cause electric arcs or sparks. How to use power strips safely? Be sure to buy new national standard sockets, and do not buy universal sockets that are banned by the country. The three-phase sockets of the new national standard sockets are separated from the two-phase sockets, with 5 holes; the three-phase sockets of the universal sockets are combined with the two-phase sockets, with 3 holes.

Pay special attention not to plug high-power household appliances such as air conditioners and microwave ovens into sockets with low rated currents. Image source: Ministry of Emergency Management of the People's Republic of China Do not pull the power cord when unplugging the plug, as this may easily break the connection between the power cord and the plug, causing a short circuit or leakage, which may result in fire or electric shock.
