1. Perform a Thorough Installation Inspection
Before touching the socket, make sure the electrical installation in your house is in a safe condition. Turn off the differential switch before performing inspection or maintenance. If there are signs of electric shock or sparks, switch it off immediately and contact a trained technician for further inspection, especially in vulnerable areas, such as the kitchen and bathroom.
2. Clean the socket regularly
Dust and dirt can interfere with the performance of the socket. Clean the socket regularly and carefully. Make sure to turn off the differential switch first, then use a cotton swab and appropriate cleaning fluid to clean the socket surface. Avoid liquids getting into the socket holes, and make sure everything is dry before turning the power back on.
3. Replace Damaged or Worn Cables
Avoid using cables that are damaged, exposed, or very old. Replacement with a new cable is the best and safest solution. Do not attempt to repair the cable yourself as this could pose a safety risk.
4. Avoid Overloading Wisely
Overloading can damage sockets and switches. Use a multi-outlet adapter with an on/off switch to avoid overloading. Unplug devices that are not in direct use to reduce electrical load. Make sure not to place the adapter close to textiles or in damp areas.
5. Spread Out Circuit Use
Distribute the use of electricity points in the house evenly. Avoid concentrating activities at one point. This helps prevent overloading a single circuit, minimizes the risk of interference, and protects the electrical equipment in your home.
6. Read labels and certificates carefully
Finally, make sure you always check the labels and certificates on electrical devices, cables, sockets and multi-socket adapters. Make sure everything meets the installation standards in your home. Reading the instructions carefully can help us avoid inappropriate use and potential electrical risks.
These are practical tips for keeping electrical sockets in good condition, avoiding interference, and increasing safety at home. By following these simple tips, you can keep the electrical sockets at home optimal, safe and efficient. Hopefully the information is useful!
