Chargers are made up of electronic components
If it is plugged into the socket for a long time, a microcurrent will pass through
Excessive time can cause heat and short circuit
This will not only shorten the life of the charger
It can even cause fire accidents
Let's take stock
Misunderstandings in the use of sockets
01
The socket is installed too low
For the sake of aesthetics, some families install the socket in a hidden position at the bottom, but in fact, this has laid a dangerous foreshadowing. When mopping the floor, if you accidentally splash water into the socket, it is easy to cause electricity leakage.
02
There is no splash box in the kitchen and bathroom sockets
Sockets in the kitchen and bathroom need to be fitted with splash boxes, as these two places deal with water on a daily basis. If you splash water into the socket while washing dishes or showering, it will cause a short circuit or leakage accident!

Multiple appliances share a single outlet
Several different electrical appliances use the same socket, or plug high-power household appliances (air conditioners, refrigerators, etc.) into the socket with a small rated current value, which is easy to burn the socket due to excessive power, damage the electrical appliances, and even cause fire. It is recommended to keep four sets of sockets in the bedroom, and preferably one set every 2.5 square meters in the living room.
4
Aluminum wire for power leads
Aluminum wire is easy to oxidize, and the joint is easy to ignite, so the socket power wire can not be used aluminum wire, and copper wire should be selected. In addition, some families think that there are too many sockets, and the sockets are hidden, so they must follow the rules of "zero wire into the lamp head, live wire into the switch"!
5
Violence is forced into the plug
When the plug is plugged into the socket, if you feel that you can't plug it in, don't use brute force to try to make the plug force it in, if the force is too large, it will cause serious deformation of the metal insert, and even cause the inserts to collide with each other and cause a short circuit and fire. If it really can't be plugged in, be sure to find a professional electrician to disassemble and inspect it, or replace the broken socket.
After the aging of electrical wiring
Degradation of insulating properties
It is prone to short circuits
During life
We must not mess with the wires
Replace aging appliances and power strips in a timely manner
