The plug can't be pulled out like this!

Index > Power Life > Electrical Safety

Does anyone pull the wires far, far, far away to pull out the plug!?

NO! NO! NO! Don't do this!

Once the plug is pulled out by pulling the wire, although the appearance is not visible, the copper wire inside may have broken, especially where the plug is connected to the wire. When the current flows through a part of the break, the aisle where it can pass becomes smaller, the load becomes bigger and heating, and the insulation is destroyed, causing the wire to fire and ignite the surrounding combustibles!

So if you need to pull the plug, remember to hold the plug and pull it up from the head! Don't pull the wire to pull it out! (This is also called "half-break.")
