Socket, also known as power socket, switch socket. Socket refers to a socket that has one or more circuit wiring pluggable through which various wirings can be inserted.
This makes it easy to connect with other circuits. Through the connection and disconnection between the line and the copper parts, the connection and disconnection of this part of the circuit is finally achieved.
In order to further regulate indoor wiring, reduce safety hazards and waste of repeated disassembly, and work with enterprises to create a consumer environment that is assured by consumers and has a good market order, the National Assembly Electrical and Intelligent Cooperation Alliance invites electrical experts to jointly launch "Electrical Appliances Safely Home The series suggested that consumers should be provided with detailed and effective knowledge from various aspects such as material selection, wiring, switch and socket design, telephone network and TV line design, and guide consumers to choose a home improvement company that suits them and how to communicate with designers during the home improvement process.
Although the switch socket is not a "big piece" like a home appliance, it is related to the daily safety of the family and is the first line of defense to protect the home's electrical safety. Therefore, you must not be sloppy when choosing a switch socket. Electrical experts especially reminded that different places are equipped with different types of switches and sockets. Families with small children, in order to prevent children from touching the socket with their fingers or metal objects, you should choose a safety socket with a safety baffle.
1. The installation height of the socket should be installed according to the design requirements when the design has provisions; when the design is not clear, it should generally meet: the socket with the safety door is not lower than 0.3M; the socket without the safety door is not lower than 1.8M. It is recommended to buy sockets with security doors whenever possible, as the price is not much different.
2. Use well-sealed waterproof and splash-proof sockets in the bathroom or other humid places. (Note: The socket with a safety door is a plastic baffle (safety door) in front of the metal spring of the jack on the basis of the general socket. A three-hole socket, when the plug is inserted, the grounding post head (slightly longer) is inserted into the hole The mechanism inside the socket opens the other two holes. The two-hole socket must be inserted into the socket head at the same time. The safety door can be opened to prevent young children from inserting metal objects by mistake.)
3. When the socket is installed, its panel should be straight and close to the wall. And the wiring (phase) should comply with: single-phase two-hole socket, the right or upper hole facing the socket is connected to the phase wire (fire wire), the left or lower hole is connected to the neutral wire; single-phase three-hole socket, facing the right of the socket The hole is connected to the phase wire (L, live wire), the left hole is connected to the neutral wire (N), and the upper hole is grounded (PE).
