Tips For Selecting Wall Sockets

In order to further standardize the indoor wiring, reduce the waste of safety hazards and repeated disassembly, and jointly create consumers with peace of mind and good market order with enterprises, the National Family Installation Electric and Intelligence Cooperation Alliance invites electrical appliances experts to jointly launch "Electrical Safety Delivery to Home Home "The series of suggestions gives consumers detailed and effective knowledge from various aspects such as selection, wiring, switching socket design, telephone network TV line design, etc., and guide consumers to choose a home improvement company that suits them and how to communicate with the designer during home improvement.

Although the switch socket is not like a "big piece" like home appliances, it is related to the daily safety of the family, and it is the first line of defense to ensure home electrical safety. Therefore, it must not be sloppy when choosing a switch socket. Electric experts are particularly reminded that different venues are matched with different types of switches and sockets. In order to prevent children from touching their fingers or metal socket holes in order to prevent children from using fingers or metal objects, they must choose a safe socket with insurance blocks.

Look at the brand
According to incomplete statistics, more than 1,500 domestic companies are producing switch socket products, and the quality differences between products are huge. Because many ordinary consumers do not have methods for identifying the quality of products, plus a limited understanding of the switch socket brand, It brings living space to some unscrupulous merchants, and some counterfeit and shoddy products flow into the market. Of course, many large enterprises pay attention to their brand image, have high requirements for product quality, and have relatively guaranteed after -sales service. Quality guarantee is usually not less than 12 years. Therefore, in order to be used with confidence, the switch socket is best to choose a large company or a good brand.

Look at the appearance
The panel should be uniform in color, smooth surface, no depression, mixed color, no air bubbles, stains, cracks, swelling, lack of glue, deformation, scratch, shrinking and other defects. Metal parts have no abnormal situations such as burrs, cracks, corrosion marks, rust and screw head damage.

Weight
When purchasing a switch socket, you should also weigh the weight. If the merchant uses thin copper pieces, it will feel lighter. The bronze pieces and terminals selected by good switch sockets are usually thicker and relatively heavy in weight. Copper parts are the key part of the switch socket, and it is also the key part of identifying counterfeit inferior products. Consumers should also pay attention when buying: Some bad manufacturers will add iron boards to the product to increase weight. We must see clearly when buying.

Distinguish
Different places should be paired with different types of switches and sockets. There are often water and oil fumes in the kitchen and bathroom. It is best to install splash -proof box or plastic baffle on the socket panel, which can effectively prevent short circuits caused by oil pollution and water vapor. For children with children, in order to prevent children from touching with their fingers or pinching sockets with metal objects, parents are best to choose a safe socket with insurance blocks.

In addition, when installing a three -hole socket, you must not let the ground lines be available, let alone directly connect the ground wire to the gas pipeline. These methods are quite dangerous, and the ground line is connected to the electrical shell. Once the electrical leakage is leaked, it will cause people to shock.

Special socket
Family user waterproof sockets, 220V 10A three plugs, two plugs can be used in non -protective status to satisfy the family. (Protection level IP66 can meet family needs. IP66 is a violent spray of water in all directions, soak in 1 meter water for 1 hour without water.) Pay attention to a little outdoor socket is generally plastic material, considering anti -aging.

Many people do not know that there are already home 10A “fingerprints” outdoor waterproof and ritual raining sockets. Use indoor splash -proof boxes to replace waterproof sockets. Splash -proof boxes can only prevent splash water, not directly drizzle of rain, nor can it prevent aging. It is not safe and the service life will not exceed one year because of ultraviolet life.
The outdoor socket must have five defense to be durable. Five-proof-waterproof, dustproof, chemical corrosion, UV prevention and collision.
