The high temperature seems to have brought us into summer, and with the arrival of the Beginning of Summer, it also indicates that summer is not far away from us. When the solar term is about to enter the high temperature, are the electrical appliances in your home ready for summer?

The first thing to be affected is thunder and lightning weather. The current generated by thunderstorms is mainly conducted through exposed wires and exterior walls and pillars close to home appliances, causing damage to home appliances through sockets.

Do not pull network cables, TV cables, and power cables casually, but have a more formal operation. When placing home appliances, do not drag the wires too close to the wall. The power socket must be checked frequently to ensure good contact.

Of course, various preventive measures cannot guarantee that home appliances will not be struck by lightning. Here is a simple and useful way to put them.

It is better to unplug the power cord after using the home appliance every time. Unplugging is better, which is a better way to isolate lightning.

Turn off the power of electrical appliances in advance and unplug them (including TVs, computers, water heaters, etc.) to prevent lightning from entering the room through power lines. Using lightning protection sockets can reduce the risk, but the power must still be completely turned off in case of strong lightning.

Avoid contact with metal objects such as water pipes and gas pipes, and stay away from the area under electric lights and power sockets. If you need to touch electrical appliances, use insulating tools such as rubber gloves.

If water enters your home, turn off the main power immediately to prevent short circuits. After the water recedes, check the lines and leakage protectors, and turn on the power only after confirming safety. Flooded electrical appliances must be professionally repaired before using.
