The increasing demand for electrical equipment makes many families have to use additional power outlets. Connecting multiple power outlets creates a messy wiring network that both reduces aesthetics and does not ensure safety for the family.
Overload of electric current causes short circuits
The biggest risk when plugging too many plugs into a power outlet will be overloaded. Each outlet is only capable of a certain power level. Using devices such as TVs, refrigerators and irons at the same time will heat up the copper core. When the plastic shell is too hot, it will melt and lead to short circuits. This is one of the main causes of fires.
Leak-induced electric shock accident
Electrical wires thrown under the floor are very easily damaged. Therefore, moving furniture for cleaning or mouse bites can cause the insulation cover to peel off. When the copper core is exposed, the risk of electrical leakage is extremely high. In particular, mopping the floor if it touches the leaking wire or electric shock causes unsafety for family members.
Dangerous for young children and pets
Young children are always curious and like to explore objects around them. Flashlight sockets are very easy to attract children's attention. Besides, pets also often bite and break electric wires, causing breakage. Therefore, housewives should arrange electric wires neatly.
Delaying to handle old power outlets will be very dangerous. Each family needs to regularly check, replace equipment and buy specialized wire boxes to ensure safety for members.
