Many people must not think that bathing is a dangerous thing. The recent news has exposed several incidents of electric shock from bathing. It is shocking, and the culprit is the electric water heater. According to the China Consumers Association “China Household Electricity Environmental Survey According to the report, there are thousands of people who suffer casualties from water heater leakage every year during the bathing. On average, three people suffer from tragedies every day while taking a bath. This has caused people's attention. The “Approach to Science” column has specifically interpreted the cause of leakage of water heaters and passed them. The field study summarized several solutions.
Why does a water heater leak?
There are many families, especially some old houses, where the electric water heater itself has been corroded due to long-term use, resulting in current leakage. In addition, its own ground wire does not meet safety standards. Some users have their home and fire lines connected. Together or the zero line and the FireWire, this is a huge security risk. In addition, do not rule out the electrical water heater products are not qualified, and the installer's unprofessional and other reasons, coupled with the aging of the old house circuit, can cause Water heater leakage.
How to prevent leak potential?
At present, there are mainly three solutions for the leakage prevention of electric water heaters in the market. One is the separation method of water and electricity. The heating device is isolated from the water through a stainless steel sleeve. However, if the water heater is used for a long time or it is not replaced during the extended period, the water will erode the machine thoroughly. , Still can not avoid the leakage of electricity. Secondly, the method of water supply and power-off means that the water heater water is cut off the line of fire and the neutral line. This method is not foolproof, because it can not solve the leakage accident caused by the electrification of the ground wire. There is also an electric wall. Technology, it installs parts in the water inlet and outlet of the water heater to form a strong resistance, separates the current in the water from the human body, and the voltage drops below the safety line, and can provide early warning to prevent hidden leakage hazards. It is the safest at present. Technology.
How to choose a safe and suitable water heater?
Electric water heaters are popular with most families because of their ease of use and stable water discharge. However, their potential for electrical leakage has also made many people discouraged. In fact, electric water heaters are not so terrible. As long as the installation and use process is standardized, the lines are often checked. There is a risk of electricity leakage. If you want a more secure environment, you can choose an electric water heater with a wall protection technology. For example, the commander of the L. ONE electric wall heater applies Haier's patented electric wall protection technology. To ensure that the speed of heat at the same time the output voltage down to below the safety line, and can also achieve leakage warning, to completely remove the leakage hazards. In addition, its use of iPhone three-stage design of the design is also more popular with young people.
As the temperature rises and bathing demand increases, water heaters usher in peak usage. A safe water heater is very important for the user to spend a refreshing summer. Users must keep their eyes open when choosing a water heater. Choose one Really safe and secure water heater. In addition, usually also pay attention to the maintenance of the water heater and home line maintenance.
