Non-national standard outlet is not safe, with caution!

In recent years, due to universal hole socket short circuit, fever and other causes of fire problems after another. Some of the production enterprises to set the national mandatory safety standards in disregard, wantonly production of non-national standard mobile power outlet, resulting in unsafe outlets flooding the market. In this regard, the provincial Consumer Council yesterday, jointly Beijing, Shanghai and other places 37 consumer rights units issued consumer warning, to remind you to buy the socket, remember to buy "new national standard" socket.

It is understood that the so-called million hole socket, that is, the jack can be compatible with two poles or three poles, and even the British standard, American Standard, European standard such as non-daily use of the plug socket. Such a socket due to the larger jack, socket connector and electrical plug contact area is too small, easy to lead to overheating lead to the occurrence of fire accidents. "New national standard" requires the production of bipolar and three-pole jacks in the form of separate socket (commonly known as the new five-hole socket), this socket plug and socket contact area is larger, closer contact, reducing the risk of electric shock.

In addition, since China's first time in 1996 to develop power outlet standards, it is clear that the two-core socket failed. Two-core socket from the appearance point of view is easier to distinguish, there are three plugs on the plug socket, but the socket itself comes with only two plugs on the plug, are two-core problem socket. This type of socket is missing a ground wire, in the course of use, once the electrical parts of an electrical insulation within the damaged, the current will be covered with the entire electrical surface, because the current can not be imported through the two-core socket underground, easily lead to electric shock.

In this regard, 38 consumer rights units to remind consumers, as soon as possible to replace the household hole socket and two-core socket, so as not to lead to security incidents. In the purchase of power outlets, pay special attention to the following six points.

Election channel. Buy power outlet do not covet cheap, the best to the regular large chain of super, hypermarkets or electrical appliances and other places to buy business, and retain the purchase certificate.

Recognize the brand. Pay more attention to industry and commerce, quality inspection departments issued monitoring, testing information and Consumers Association (Consumer Council, Consumer Protection Committee) announced the results of comparative experiments, try not to have repeatedly been exposed, punished the brand.

Look at the appearance. Qualified socket packaging on the manufacturers and product information is complete, some unqualified socket is simple packaging, the lack of the most basic manufacturers and product information, especially the production date. Qualified socket shell panel work fine, shell and jack side without burrs, jack size symmetrical uniform, poor quality socket shell rough work.

On the hole "new national standard" socket three poles and poles separated, there are five holes; million hole socket three pole jack and the two pole jack together, there are three holes.

Number of pins. Do not buy a three-pole socket on the card, but the socket itself comes with a two-pin socket with only two pins.

Feel. Can weigh from the weight, repeatedly press the switch, try to pull force, pull the power cord to distinguish four aspects. In line with the national standard socket weight heavier, socket opening and closing and sound crisp. Each hole of the plug feel moderate and flexible, and the plug of the plug feel the same. In addition, the power cord feel soft and hard moderate, and the socket connected solid and reliable.
