Are the "safety devices" of electric water heaters really 100% safe? Come and hear the master's great truth! The common water heaters on the market today mainly include electric water heaters, gas water heaters and solar water heaters. Because solar water heaters and gas water heaters are subject to certain restrictions when they are installed, electric water heaters have become the best choice for most families. Electric water heaters are relatively convenient, but there is also a big controversy: its safety. Electric water heaters must be heated by electricity. If you take a bath with electricity, there is indeed a danger of leakage. It is precisely because of this that the electric water heater is also equipped with some "safety devices", so is the "safety device" of the electric water heater really 100% safe? Come and hear the master's truth! - The "safety device" of the electric water heater
①Grounding device The electric water heaters on the market are now equipped with a grounding device, which is also mandatory for many brands Requirements, if this condition cannot be met during installation, some brand installers will not provide installation services. This is also because if there is no grounding device that leads to a safety accident in the later period, the merchant will be held responsible, so if the installation requirements are not met, many merchants will not choose to install it. The grounding device of the electric water heater generally has two positions, one is the external grounding wire of the electric water heater, and the other is the grounding wire of the socket. The external ground wire of the electric water heater refers to a ground wire on the outer shell of the electric water heater. During the installation process, the ground wire needs to be fixed to the wall to achieve the function of grounding. The grounding wire of the socket of the electric water heater means that there must be a grounding wire in the socket that provides the power supply of the water heater, so that the power supply can be grounded after the power is turned on. Both of these grounding wires are used to improve the safety of the electric water heater. ② Anti-electric wall technology I believe that friends who buy electric water heaters have understood the technology of anti-electric wall. In the past few years, the publicity of electric water heaters focused on anti-electric wall technology. At the beginning, there were some electric water heaters because of the anti-electric wall technology Wall technology, so sales reached their peak. The anti-electric wall technology of electric water heaters has another name called water resistance attenuation isolation method. To put it simply, there are two plastic interfaces. The main function is to form a permanent resistance inside the electric water heater, thereby reducing the current value passing through the human body under abnormal conditions, which can make the electric water heater safer. The anti-electric wall technology of electric water heaters is also in line with the principles of physics, and it has also undergone relevant demonstrations, and it can indeed achieve a safe role, which is beyond doubt. Therefore, an electric water heater with an anti-electric wall is indeed safer when it is powered on. - Are electric water heaters 100% safe with safety devices?
Now the electric water heaters on the market are equipped with the above safety devices, so does it mean that with these safety devices, 100% safety can be achieved? Of course not. These safety devices only improve the safety of electric water heaters, but they cannot be 100% safe, and there will still be some probability of leakage. Although the electric water heaters in our home may have the above safety devices at the same time, there are still some hidden safety hazards in taking a bath when the electricity is turned on. This is also the main reason why most electric water heater businesses tell consumers to cut off the power supply as much as possible when taking a bath. In order to achieve absolute safety, we should unplug the electric water heater in advance when we take a bath, so that the electric water heater will not be powered on, and naturally there will be no safety accidents such as leakage. However, some friends think that it is particularly inconvenient to unplug the power supply every time they use the electric water heater to take a shower, and sometimes they forget to plug in the power supply after unplugging, so it is more troublesome to use hot water again. If you think this method is more troublesome, you can also choose to install an electric water heater with a smart socket at the same time. Now there are some smart switches on the market that can be operated by mobile phones, so that no matter what the situation, we can control the switch of the electric water heater with just a little bit of mobile phone, and it will be more convenient and safe to use. Then everyone also needs to pay attention to the air switch of the electric water heater. It must be equipped with a leakage protection device, and regularly check the small buttons of the power distribution box at home to ensure that the leakage protection device is absolutely safe. At a critical time, this may be ours. "Life-saving device". Written at the end: To sum up, although the current electric water heaters are equipped with grounding devices and anti-electric wall technology, they cannot be 100% safe. If we want to be safe, we should use electric water heaters in advance. Unplugging the electric water heater, and doing so can also save you some electricity bills, also has many benefits.
