What happens if the wire plug is not plugged in firmly?

Index > Power Life > Electrical Safety

What happens if the wire plug is not plugged in firmly? Last week, we shared that "semi-broken wire" will cause a short-circuit fire when power is on, so be careful not to pull the wire when pulling the plug. In addition, for everyday use of electrical appliances, remember to insert the plug firmly into the socket! It is also dangerous if it is not fully inserted into the socket, but only inserted half or not inserted into the bottom. When the plug is half-inserted, the plug is easy to loose, because the contact is poor and the wire is overheated, causing electric spark, which is easy to cause damage to the electrical appliance; also because the chance of the conductor contacting the plug connector is increased, it is easy to short-circuit, and even cause wire to fire. So remember to plug the plug to the bottom to use the appliance safely!
