In the scorching summer, the heat is unbearable, and air conditioners and electric fans are all turned on. Fires and electric shock accidents caused by the use of these electrical appliances occur every year. How to use electricity safely and scientifically is a major issue that every family must pay attention to.

01. Do not overload the electricity usage

Do not use high-power electrical appliances at the same time, especially during peak electricity consumption periods. Wires should not be pulled or connected at will, and multiple electrical appliances should not use the same socket.

02. Regularly check the circuit

Pay special attention to checking the connection points of the circuit. If any aging problems are found, replace the circuit with a new one in time. Sockets for all kinds of electrical appliances should be kept away from fire sources. If the power cord is damaged, insulating tape should be wrapped up in time to prevent short circuits.

03. Place electrical appliances correctly

In summer, there is intense sunlight. Electrical appliances should be placed in a shady or dark area without direct sunlight and with good ventilation. After using the equipment for a period of time, it should be given appropriate rest to avoid continuous use for a long time. It is strictly prohibited to place flammable items around the equipment.

04. Stop using "problematic" electrical appliances

When abnormal conditions occur in electrical appliances, they should be shut down immediately, such as when there is an odd smell, smoke, vibration, increased noise, or a rise in temperature. The power supply should be cut off immediately and professional personnel should be invited to inspect and repair it. Do not disassemble the electrical appliance by yourself to avoid damaging the internal components.

05. Be careful when in contact with electrical equipment

In hot seasons, people sweat a lot and their hands are often wet. It is dangerous to insert or remove a mobile phone charger, so it is recommended to dry your hands before touching electrical devices.
