On the occasion of family reunion
Pay more attention to the safety of household electricity
How to prevent electrical fires at home
Avoid overloading the socket
Do not insert too many plugs in a power socket, and high-power equipment such as air conditioners and electric stoves should enjoy the treatment of "special plugging" to avoid the danger of overloading the socket.
Check the appearance of the electrical equipment
When installing the temporary power supply, it is necessary to choose a qualified power cord and power plug. The socket should be safe and reliable, and the damaged one cannot be used. The connector of the power cord should be wrapped with electrical insulating tape.
Avoid using too much power
When the power of household appliances is too high and the air switch trips or the fuse blows, it should be considered to reduce the use of electrical appliances and reduce the electrical load. It is not possible to replace the large fuse or replace the fuse with other metal wires.
Use electric blankets correctly
The electric blanket should be qualified products produced by regular manufacturers, spread out and used and supervised. Do not fold the electric blanket for use.
Prevent dry boiling
Heaters and incandescent lamps can generate high temperatures when in use, so keep them at a distance from flammable materials such as curtains, and do not use these appliances to bake damp clothes. The use of induction cookers, electric boiling kettles, etc. should be supervised by a special person to prevent dry burning.
Protect the power cord
When using electrical appliances, care should be taken not to press the power cord by heavy objects, otherwise it may cause the wire to break or the insulation to be damaged, so that the wire is short-circuited or leakaged. When plugging and unplugging the power plug, focus on the plug and do not pull the wire.
Pay attention to electric heating safety
During the Spring Festival, it is also a warm moment for families to chat around the electric heater while heating up. However, electric heating appliances generate high temperatures when used, so they need to be supervised and kept at a certain distance from flammable materials such as curtains, and should not bake damp clothes on them, let alone cover wet objects. When you're done using it, remember to turn off the power switch and unplug it.
Beware of children approaching electrical appliances
Parents must educate and take good care of children, do not let them play with electrical equipment such as wires, sockets, lamp holders, switches, etc., and do not play near transformers to avoid accidents such as electric shock.
How to fight electrical fires
When a fire occurs in an electrical line or electrical equipment and ignites nearby combustibles, the method of power-off fire extinguishing should generally be adopted: that is, according to the different conditions of the fire, the power supply should be cut off in time, and then extinguished. Reliable insulated tools must be used when cutting off the power supply to prevent electric shock accidents during operation.
It should be noted that you must not use water to fight the fire first, because the electrical lines and electrical equipment are generally electrified, and using water to fight the fire may cause people to be electrocuted.
In the case that it is not certain whether the power supply is cut off, a fire extinguisher such as dry powder, carbon dioxide, carbon tetrachloride and so on can be used to extinguish the fire.
Prevent electric shock accidents caused by direct contact with the electric parts of the body, hands, feet, or fire extinguishers used. When extinguishing a fire with electricity, insulated rubber gloves should also be worn.
Finally, I would like to remind you again
※ Do not pull the wires indiscriminately and connect the power supply indiscriminately
※ Make sure that the lights are turned off when people walk, turn off the power, and eliminate hidden dangers
※ If you smell the smell of wire rubber smoke, you should eliminate the danger in time
※ It is strictly forbidden to use the plug-in board in series or overload
