A media report, a female college student in the bath, suspected of death due to water heater leakage, death after a long time no one found, the legs are electric charred. According to the security captain of the district, the girl was found by the police, naked on the ground, the water heater nozzle is still open, preliminary speculation that the girl was taking a bath before she died.
The alarm man and girls are sharing a roommate, the man came back from work, knocking on the bathroom door half a day can not knock, after the alarm, the police will only open the door, once inside to see the girls killed. According to the police on the case, the police technical department identification, has ruled out the possibility of homicide. According to the scene, the police speculated may be bathing, water heater leakage, resulting in electrocution.
Use of various household appliances should also pay attention to the safety of electricityDaily life, the use of a variety of household appliances should also pay attention to the safety of electricity, do not use try to turn off, to extend the service life of home appliances. Prohibit the use of illegal electrical appliances, found that electrical appliances malfunction as soon as possible to ask professionals to repair, to protect their own and their families' safety.
First, I'd like to tell you how I use electric heaters. Because I live in the house inside is no bathroom local equipotential, and there is no ground, it belongs to the kind of particularly old a building. So it has serious safety hazards with electricity.
Personally, the bathroom water heater circuit was remodeled. The electric water heater circuit is divided into a separate circuit, and then installed a separate leakage protection switch on the circuit to control the electric water heater separately.
Before you go to work, turn on the electric water heater and let it heat up; when you get home from work, pull down the leakage protection switch on the electric water heater and disconnect the power. After you have done this, you can use the hot water in the electric water heater. Personally, I think this is the only way to ensure a foolproof way to use an electric water heater.
So much protection and still electrocuted?Water heater because of its own current is large, so it is also higher insulation requirements. Coupled with the user for the leakage of more and more attention, the business is also in the safety of the article, what "anti-electricity wall", what "double protection", endless. These are the water heater itself on the leakage of protection, in general, the water heater is very unlikely to leakage of electricity, or - the insulation system of the water heater, is the best of all appliances.
Their own protection is unbearable - water heaters made by regular manufacturers have no problem in this regard, except for inferior water heaters. As the first layer of electricity safety barrier, or burned for a long time, or aging, or with the induction of electricity, in short, the insulation layer did not play a role, leakage easily generated.
The ground line simply did not enter the home - rural self-built house into the home only two lines, there is no ground line. Even in the city house, there are individual neighborhood ground line is not a good grounding device, pressure is simply a setup. So you think it's a ground, but in fact it is a common wire. The protection function is even more irrelevant.
Must be installed leakage protector, and to ensure that the leakage protector is intactShowering process, you said that you can not get rid of any electrocution current, because the water with a point, you are all over the body of the water, are with a point, when the leakage current is less than 30ma your home leakage protector will not be leakage tripped, but the role of the current in the role of your body has a sufficiently long time you will be helpless. long time you are hopeless, and who save you may also be electrocuted,some people shower electrocution, the first to cut off the power supply and then rescue, but how many have this mental quality, many because of the shower occurred in a tragedy.
Must be installed leakage protector, and to ensure that the leakage protector is intact, the condition of the water heater outlet circuit installed 15ma leakage protector, the water heater must have a reliable grounding, the most security is to unplug the water heater before the shower water heater more than the service life of the people to change the new it.
As long as the shell of the equipment has a metal part, we should do a good job of preventing leakage measuresWater heater heating tube leakage, leakage current with the flow of water out. As a result of a long time without cleaning, magnesium rods are also consumed, water impurities produced by scale corrosion of the heating pipe, over time the heating pipe rust rot, resulting in leakage.
In short, as long as the use of electricity, there is a risk of electrocution, only the correct and safe use, in order to keep us safe. Whether it is an electric water heater, induction cooker, rice cooker, refrigerator, washing machine, electric fan, air conditioning, electric kettle and so on, as long as the shell of the equipment has a metal part, we should do a good job to prevent leakage measures.
Buy the regular brand plus the correct installation, the use of the process is rarely a problem. It is also recommended to ask a professional home inspection, do not leave security risks!
