Winter household electrical safety measures against cold

One, winter overload electricity easily lead to fire

Since the beginning of winter, as temperatures have continued to decline, many citizens have purchased and activated various types of high-power heating equipment. As a result, the household electricity load has increased drastically, which can easily result in overloading of meter capacity and indoor power supply lines, causing electrical fires. Hunan Yueyang fire reminded the general public that home electricity should be used with caution and overloaded electrodes are prone to fire.

Using unqualified wires or sockets, household appliances can burn out easily. When multiple household appliances are used at the same time, the power consumption is too large, and the wire is prone to heat and catch fire when the maximum allowable current of the wire is exceeded. Wires are exposed for a long time or for other reasons. They may cause short-circuiting and fire when wet. When you go out, go to bed or suddenly lose power, forgetting to turn off the power supply of electric irons, electric blankets, etc. may cause fire. When the general public uses electric heating equipment and air conditioners, they should first check whether the electric energy meter, wires and switches meet the requirements, and rectify them in time so as to avoid causing fires caused by electric energy meters, wires, and switches. Single-phase power equipment should be provided with a reliable grounding wire. Do not use the plug's insertion and removal to replace the switch. When the electric heating equipment is not in use, disconnect the power plug when the equipment is switched off. Abnormal conditions such as burnt smell may occur. The power supply shall be cut off immediately and the maintenance personnel shall be promptly notified to dispose of it. All kinds of air-conditioning equipment, the temperature should not be set too high, so as to avoid long-term operation overheat damage. Do not insert too many plugs in a socket. Air conditioners, heaters and other high-power devices are best used exclusively for plug-ins to avoid socket overload. At the same time, we must pay attention to the following fire safety:

Use fire with caution. Urban residents use stoves, fire walls, fire pits, chimneys, etc. to meet the requirements of fire protection, and to maintain a safe distance from the surrounding combustibles, do not cover the electric heating equipment to cover the baking clothes, and check whether the high temperature parts of the soil are trapped with carbon signs. After using gas or liquefied gas, urban residents forget to close the valve, or illicitly liquefied gas, which can lead to gas leakage. In the event of an open flame, electric sparks or static electricity that turns on the appliance, it will explode and catch fire. Liquefied gas cylinders cannot be fired, boiled, steam blown, and should not be placed next to radiators and not in a room with fire.

Electricity safety. The installation of electrical equipment must comply with the requirements. The conductors used must have good insulation effect, and the aging of the electrical lines or the phenomenon of overload should be prohibited so as to avoid short circuit and fire. Do not cover paper bulbs or other combustible materials. Be sure to turn off the power immediately after using the household appliances. Otherwise, the appliances may be in a state of power for a long time and cause fire. Pay attention to the temperature control of the heating device, time-control device or temperature indicator failure, to avoid excessive temperature and fire. High-power electric appliances can not use the cross-section of the wire is too small or the capacity of the switch, plug, so as not to heat or spark.

Beware of cigarettes causing fire. It is strictly forbidden to smoke in all flammable and explosive units, material stores and all other non-smoking areas. It is forbidden to smoke when servicing automobiles and cleaning mechanical parts. In addition, do not smoke in bed or on the sofa, you can not litter the cigarette butts, match smoky ash, but also can not lit everywhere cigarette ignition.

Avoid clutter on balconies, corridors, etc. Due to the cold weather, some residents are very common in storing goods on balconies and safe passageways. If a fire occurs, the escape route will be affected. In addition, many of these items are flammable. Fires will contribute to the fire. Therefore, regular cleaning of debris around the house is also an effective way to prevent fires and reduce fire hazards.

Second, winter cold careful carbon monoxide poisoning

Recently, due to sudden drop in temperature, heating has become an urgent need for residents. Recently, the fire department has dealt with many cases of carbon monoxide poisoning caused by improper heating. To this end, Loudi City, Hunan Province public security fire detachment to remind the majority of residents, winter cold heating, safety first, please pay attention to fire safety.

1. Try not to install gas water heaters in the bathroom, because the use of gas water heaters in narrow spaces will cause carbon monoxide poisoning.

2. Do not burn charcoal for heating at home. At present, there are still many people who are accustomed to burning charcoal and heating at home in winter. This can easily lead to carbon monoxide poisoning. It is recommended not to use direct fire for heating in a closed room. If you want to burn charcoal for heating, do not leave your child alone at home. Remember to open doors and windows. ventilation.

3. Do not turn on the heater while parking. Parking heating, especially closing windows, can cause carbon monoxide to accumulate in the car and prevent poisoning. Therefore, don't stop for a while because of a warm moment. If you must warm up, don't forget to open the window and do not shut it down.

4. When eating hot pot at home, be sure to remember the ventilation, but also try not to use charcoal.

5. The kitchen must be equipped with a ventilation fan, and be sure to open it while cooking. Because the kitchen is a place for cooking, if there is no good ventilation, the air can not convection, but also easily lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, so the kitchen must be installed ventilation fans to help air circulation.
