What Are The Safety Hazards Of Using Wall Switches?

A wall switch is an electrical switch installed on the wall, used to connect and disconnect the circuit, and control the switch of the lighting. So when we use a wall switch, what are the safety hazards of using a wall switch?

Common safety hazards of using wall switches and sockets are as follows:
1. The switch socket is pressed by flammable materials or dust falls into it, causing a short circuit, or it is installed in a flammable and explosive dangerous place, and sparks are generated when the plug is inserted or unplugged, causing an explosion and fire;
2. The plug is damaged and not replaced in time, and a bare wire head is used instead of a plug, causing a short circuit or sparks, causing the combustible material to catch fire;
3. Some bedside switches are put away casually after use, and the switch hits the bed frame or wall, causing the outer insulation layer to be damaged, which is very likely to cause a short circuit;
4. The working voltage and working current of the lamp holder do not match the power of the socket used, and it is overloaded for a long time. Once the temperature is too high, it will cause a fire.
5. The combustible gas used in the home leaks due to pipes or valves, causing the combustible gas to mix with the air and reach a certain limit, causing a fire or explosion.
6. Improper installation of the switch, especially placing the switch on a flammable object, causing a short circuit, or an arc when the switch is disconnected, causing a fire.

When we use Wall Switch, we should pay attention to the above safety hazards. Safety is the first priority. I hope everyone will pay more attention.
