What should I pay attention to when using electricity or repairing electrical related items?

Electricity is a very dangerous thing. Whether using electricity in daily life or maintaining electricity-related items, it is possible to minimize the risk factor only by being cautious everywhere. The following suggestions can improve the safety of electricity use.

1. Remember to cut off the power supply when maintaining: when maintaining various household appliances, it is necessary to cut off the circuit in advance; When repairing circuits and various power plug-ins, pull down the home master brake. Although sometimes the maintenance work is simple, you can't be careless at any time.

2. Configure the power plug-in with fuse: At present, the power plug-in products on the market are mixed. In order to ensure the safety of electricity consumption to the greatest extent, it is wise to spend more money on plug-ins with fuses when configuring plugs and sockets for various electrical appliances, at least to provide a guarantee for electricity safety.

3. Connect long wires with connectors: When wires need to be lengthened, it is best to use special connectors, which are inexpensive but have excellent safety performance. If it is not convenient to buy, the connector should be wrapped tightly with insulating tape to ensure no leakage, short circuit or disconnection. 4. Tips for stripping the metal core of the wire: Use a wire stripper and adjust the opening of the wire stripper until it is consistent with the thickness of the wire. If you are not sure, you can use a short piece of cut wire as a test. If it is only used for wiring, strip the insulation layer of the wire by 2 cm. If you intend to peel off all of them, you can turn the stripping pliers on the basis of stripping for a short period first, and then pull them back hard until the last insulating layer falls off.

5. Find out the cause of the power outage: If your home and neighbor's home are blacked out at the same time, it is the main power supply line fault, and you can notify the property company or the relevant department of the power company to repair it. If there is electricity in the neighbor's house, his house is out of power, and it is likely that the fuse at the main door of the house has blown. If a household appliance loses power and other appliances run smoothly, check whether the plug fuse of the household appliance is damaged and whether the wires in the plug are loose. If the problem still can't be solved, try another socket to see if there is any problem. After eliminating the above three possibilities, it can basically be concluded that the home appliance itself is out of order.
