Introduction: Nowadays, every household has many sockets. Traditional sockets are very afraid of water. If water is encountered on the socket, a short circuit will occur, and abnormal current in the circuit will cause burns. Bad circuits and electrical appliances connected to the circuits can even cause fires in severe cases. Waterproof sockets not only have the electrical function of traditional sockets, but also have very strong waterproof functions. You don’t need to be careful about water when using waterproof sockets, which greatly reduces electric shock. Accidents and fires occur. Let the editor introduce to you in detail what a waterproof socket is and the working principle and installation steps of a waterproof socket! What kind of socket is a waterproof socket? A waterproof socket is a plug with waterproof performance and can provide safe and reliable electricity, signals, etc. connect. For example: LED street lights, LED driving power supplies, LED displays, lighthouses, cruise ships, industrial equipment, communication equipment, detection equipment, commercial plazas, highways, villa exterior walls, gardens, parks, etc., all require waterproof sockets. Introduction to the principle of waterproof sockets A waterproof socket is a waterproof box with a lid added to the outside of a general wall-mounted socket. There is a rubber mat where the box contacts the wall, so it is waterproof; some waterproof sockets have a plastic rainproof sheath inside. The middle skewer hole faces downwards and is equipped with a special skewer head. There are three-phase four-wire and three-phase five-wire matching skewer seats and skewers respectively. In daily life, the function of waterproof sockets is to be waterproof. In daily life, they are mainly used in toilets, kitchens and other places prone to moisture. To install a waterproof socket, first remove the socket, then put the waterproof cover behind the socket and then pass the power cord through it. Connect the power cord to the socket interface according to the polarity (the live wire is connected to the L interface, and the neutral wire is connected to the N interface). , the ground wire is connected to the E interface), be sure to tighten the fastening screws. It is best to install the fixing screws of the socket on the wall. Currently, there are many brands and types of waterproof sockets on the market, including traditional waterproof sockets for home use, such as triangle plugs, which can be called sockets, but they are generally not waterproof. So how is a waterproof socket determined? The measurement of waterproofing is IP. The current highest level of waterproofing is IP68. There are currently many domestic manufacturers of waterproof plugs. At present, the main evaluation standard for the waterproof performance of waterproof connectors is based on the IP waterproof grade standard. To see how waterproof the waterproof connector is, it mainly depends on the two digits XX at the end of IPXX. The first digit The highest waterproof rating of the connector is IP68. Sealing principle: Relying on up to 5 sealing rings and sealing rings to pre-tighten the seal with pressure. This kind of seal will not lose its pre-tightening force when the connector expands due to thermal expansion or contraction, ensuring the waterproof effect for a long time. It is impossible for water molecules to penetrate under ordinary pressure (it can work for a long time in water depths less than 2M). Conclusion: Through the editor’s introduction above, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of what a waterproof socket is and the working principle and installation steps of a waterproof socket. The waterproof socket is a newly invented socket that adds waterproof function to the functions of the traditional socket. When installing waterproof sockets, try to choose some professional companies to install waterproof sockets to prevent malfunctions caused by improper installation. I hope that the above introduction by the editor can help everyone understand what a waterproof socket is and the working principle and installation steps of a waterproof socket.
