Power strips are one of the most frequently used products in our lives. It is precisely because of the high frequency of use that it will bring a lot of potential safety hazards to electricity use. So how do we ensure the safety of electricity use when the power strip is used at a high frequency?

Next, the editor will share with you the relevant purchase precautions and safe use of the patch panel.

💡What kind of patch panel will bring safety hazards:
1. The shell of the power strip has been yellowed and damaged.
2. The plug-in board of the universal jack is still used. The universal jack no longer meets the current standard requirements of our country. If you continue to use it, there will be greater safety hazards in heating up and preventing electric shock.

💡How to choose a power strip:
1. The plug-in boards purchased through formal channels in the market are all certified by CCC, which ensures that the products meet the requirements of the standard.
2. There are many types of plug-in boards. When purchasing, you need to select products according to actual use occasions and use needs.

According to different use occasions, the following other functional plug-in boards can be selected, such as: plug-in boards with USB interface, with WIFI remote control function, lightning protection function, etc.

💡Whether it is necessary to purchase a power strip with a switch:
1. If you supply power to multiple unrelated electrical devices at the same time, you need a patch panel with a sub-control switch, which can realize individual control of each device.
2. If you supply power to multiple associated electrical equipment at the same time, you can purchase equipment with a master control switch, which can be turned on and off and save costs.
3. If you only use it occasionally, you can also buy a power strip without a switch.

💡How to use the power strip safely:
1. Make sure not to overload it. (The sum of the power of all the electrical equipment connected to the plug-in board should not exceed the nominal rated power of the plug-in board. If it is used for a long time with overload, it can cause excessive temperature rise of the line and even cause a fire.)

2. If there are children at home, for the safe use of electricity for children, the standard requires that the power strip must be equipped with a protective door to prevent children fom accidental electric shock.
3. Do not coil or bundle the power cord of the power strip (if used in this way, it may cause the temperature rise of the line to be too high, and even cause a fire.)
4. Do not use the power strip in a humid environment, and do not pull out the plug with wet hands.

We must not only purchase power strips that meet the standards and have the CCC mark through formal channels, but also standardize the use of power strips in our daily lives. Only in this way can we ensure our electricity safety.
