The ' take a shower ' accident is endless
Common electric shock accident of bathing
Many come from electric water heaters February 21, 2016 night, on the eve of the lantern festival, Guangzhou Baiyun District Taihe Town A rental house, two women in Jiangxi province suspected of water-type water heater leakage and electric shock died.
At the time of the incident, a woman tenant suspected that a shower, after electric shock roommate another woman tried to rescue also was shocked to Death.

The reporter has also specially cooperated with the related organization
The relevant identification is carried OUT.
It turns out that ...
Identification record
First of all, electric water heaters are simply divided into water-storing electric water heaters and fast-heat electric water Heaters. Water storage type electric water heater: heat water and store water in the Container. Equipped with water temperature control device, when the set temperature is reached, the thermostat disconnects the heating pipe current and enters the insulation state.
Prior to use, you need to heat up before you can turn off the power switch and Shower. Fast-heat Electric Water Heater: also known as Hot-type Electric water heater. Engineers believe that the advantages of fast-heat water heaters are easy to install, small size.
But must be used while boiling water, the risk of leakage is relatively high.
Next comes the results of the experiment ↓
1, the kitchen hot water pot leakage, The bathroom you may also electric shock!
In the case of the total grounding is not good, even if the kitchen kettle leakage, may also cause the person in the bathroom shower electric shock!
2, Electric Water heater internal if leakage, shower faucet and water are dangerous! Electric water heater inside the heating element leakage, electricity will also be Conductive.
And the electric water heater outlet and shower, faucet metal parts all become live parts, such as no reliable grounding protection measures, immediately will electric shock!
3, Don't be lazy, water heater must regularly wash water
Storage water Heaters Use the longer, the water tank inside the dirt will be more and more (due to the water tank is not regularly cleaned and the magnesium rods are not timely replacement of corrosion and other reasons), then the water in the tank will be more conductive, the more dangerous when the accident!
4, back to the South days, water heaters more dangerous!
Electric water heater for a long time in humid environment after use, such as back to the South days, heat pipe insulation performance will decline, is likely to occur leakage.
5, no grounding device, leakage switch is useless! When the system grounding is good, the leakage protection switch will usually play a role in the timely disconnection of the power supply.
But if the grounding is not good ...
Many times, Though.
But it is still to be emphasized
Do not warm up while washing!
Experts remind: electric Water heater leakage is very dangerous accident, it is recommended in the use of the process, it is best to turn off the power, do not wash the side of heating!
Leakage Protector is not completely safe! Many users think that the installation of leakage protector, will be able to completely protect the bath safety, this idea is One-sided. According to the introduction, the use of water storage type electric water heater requires the user home grounding wire must be good, and many buildings in the domestic poor grounding, or even lack of, such as fitting the wrong line, line aging, private pull wire, using inferior switch socket, with water pipe when grounding wire, etc., are likely to lead to grounding wire, electric shock accident! experts
, the user should press the leakage Protector switch 2 to 3 times per month to see if the lamp above is Normal.
is the magnesium bar of the electric water heater changed regularly? In addition, the magnesium rods in the water-storing electric water heaters should be replaced regularly.
Water storage type electric water heater to slow down the thermonatrite, scale corrosion effect of magnesium rods once consumed, It is also easy to cause internal bile corrosion or heating pipe corrosion perforation, resulting in leakage Hazard. "combined with the high alkaline water quality in guangzhou, the general situation, consumers from the purchase, so that electric water heaters should be replaced about two years."
