Safe Use of Electric Water Heaters Beware of Three Mistakes
Water heaters have become essential appliances for almost every family. However, some serious electric shocks still occur repeatedly, and the reasons are deeply investigated. Among them are misunderstandings of safety awareness among consumers and misleading suggestions from individual manufacturers. Because the use environment of electric water heaters is rather special, the user's body is wet during use, and there is a small leakage current, which may cause life-threatening hazards. Therefore, safety issues are related to the user's life, and consumers need to be particularly valued. Misunderstanding of a qualified heater = safe bath With the increasing popularity and maturity of electric water heaters in the Chinese market, the entire electric water heater industry claims that the issue of electricity safety has been fully resolved. Consumers are also more convinced of this argument, that the products of electric water heaters are qualified, and bathing will not have any worries. However, recent electric shocks caused by a series of "qualified water heaters" can not help but ask the question: Is a qualified water heater really safe? What caused the accidents? According to experts, the standard for electric water heaters in China is equivalent to the European IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) standard. This standard requires that the ground wire in the user's home must be good. In our country, due to historical reasons, many buildings’ grounding systems are not good or even lacking. For example, it is possible to install the wrong wiring, the aging of the lines, the private cables, the use of poor quality switch sockets, and the use of water pipes as grounding cables. Caused by the ground live, causing electric shock accidents. For this, consumers do not know. In this environment of use, even a water heater that passes the IEC inspection cannot guarantee safe bathing. Misunderstanding 2 The use of leakage protectors will completely protect the safety of bathing To explain this misunderstanding, we must first understand the working principle of the leakage protector: The live and neutral wires in the power cord enter the water heater through the leakage protector. In the working state of the water heater, once an internal electrical device is leaked, the leakage protector is The power can be turned off within 0.1 second to prevent the current from continuing to enter the interior of the water heater. However, the water heater's power cord also contains a ground wire that does not pass through the earth leakage protector. In theory, the ground wire is also set to ensure the safety of electricity. However, if the grounding is not available*, the FireWire grounding wire will be reversed during the decoration. Aging and other conditions occur, because the ground does not pass the leakage protector, then the current may be driven directly into the water heater through the long drive, the electric shock accident is still inevitable. Misunderstanding three unplug the power plug will bath safety As electric water heaters have frequent electric shocks, consumers are naturally worried about the use of electric water heaters, so some smart consumers unplug the plug after the water heater heating is completed, and some manufacturers lack confidence in their own product safety. Consumers are encouraged to do so during the sales process. However, in addition to connecting the electrical circuit, the water heater is inevitably connected to the water pipe. In some buildings that are badly grounded or not grounded at all, some people will connect the grounding line to the water pipe so that the water pipe acts as a grounding for the building. In this case, if there is a leakage of electricity in one household's home, the entire building's water pipe will be energized, and users who are using a water heater to bathe, even if they unplug the water heater, will still be injured by the current introduced by the water pipe.
