When an electrical appliance is on fire, you should cut off the power first and then put out the fire. Keep a safe distance from the fire source when extinguishing the fire. When the equipment is 10kV or less, the distance should not be less than 40 cm. Be careful not to use acid, alkali or foam extinguisher, because all substances are conductive and easy to get an electric shock.
In order to avoid the fire caused by the failure of electrical appliances in use, consumers should be very cautious when purchasing household appliances. Unqualified electrical appliances may be cheaper, but they are easy to cause short circuit and fire, and there is a danger of electric shock. Therefore, we must choose electrical products owned by brands with larger scale, better product quality and after-sales service.
Matters needing attention
1. Do not connect the wires without permission.
For the convenience of life, residents are not allowed to pull and connect wires at home. After all, such construction is not standardized and professional enough, and it is easy to cause short circuits and fire accidents.
2. Install leakage protection device
Leakage protection devices should be installed at home to prevent accidents such as electric shock injury and leakage fire.
3. Special socket for special purpose
Some large household appliances, such as air conditioners, washing machines, refrigerators, etc. , you need to use a special socket, which is a "special plug-in". If several high-power appliances are used in a socket at the same time, the wires connected to the socket are often prone to accidents, such as wire burning or even fire, because the wire diameter is too small.
