1、 Confirm specifications
To choose a power plug cable, it is necessary to purchase it from a regular store or specialty store, and pay attention to the labeling, such as specifications, models, and rated voltage. When using the power cord plug, it is necessary to operate at the rated voltage and not exceed the range, otherwise there may be safety hazards.
2、 Check certification
When purchasing, it is necessary to check the certification mark on the product packaging or instruction manual. Common certification standards include UL, CSA, CE, etc. These certification standards can ensure the safety and electrical performance of plugs during normal operation, to ensure that the selected plugs comply with relevant standards.
3、 Check the appearance
The appearance of wire power products produced by good wire power brands is smooth, round, and uniform in color. The appearance of counterfeit and inferior products is rough and dull, with a rough appearance, high ellipticity, and low insulation strength of the sheath.
Before using the plug power cord, the appearance of the wire should be checked for signs of cracking, aging, and damage. If so, it is recommended to replace the plug power cord as soon as possible; If any abnormal situations such as burning or short circuit are found during use, the use should be stopped immediately.
4、 Brand reputation
When choosing wires, we should choose some trustworthy manufacturers, preferably well-known enterprises. Although the price may be relatively expensive, from the perspective of safety and durability, well-known enterprises have more safety guarantees.
5、 Installation method
When installing or using power cord plugs, a safe distance should be maintained, and it is advisable to avoid placing the plugs and power cords in places that are prone to heat or damage, to prevent wire damage or fire.
6、 Safe use
When using a power cord plug
1. Avoid using inferior or incompatible plugs and wires
2. Avoid using electrical appliances and plugs in damp environments
3. If any damage or overheating is found in the plug or wire during use, it should be stopped in a timely manner and replaced with a new product.
4. Try to keep the power cord of the plug in a straight line to avoid bending and buckling. Bending may damage the wires and cause electrical malfunctions.
5. Try to avoid the plug power cord coming into contact with water, as high humidity or splashing water can cause a short circuit. Therefore, the surface of the plug power cord must be kept dry during storage and use to prevent electrical faults in the wire
