What should be done for the daily maintenance and care of wires and cables?

In People's Daily lives, few people should pay attention to the problem of wires. Nowadays, many families mainly use concealed wires, and it is almost impossible to notice the existence of wires. They also do not pay attention to whether the wires are aged or damaged. Wires are consumables. If wires are not maintained, their service life will be greatly shortened. Below, I will share with you what needs to be done for the daily maintenance and care of wires and cables.

1. Wires must not be exposed to moisture, heat, corrosion or damage.

Second, wires should be inspected after a certain period of use. If any problems are found, they should be replaced in a timely manner.

Iii. Do not overload the wires.

Fourth, frequently check the usage of household appliances and circuits, and carry out maintenance and repair in a timely manner.

V. For the wiring of old buildings, if it is found to be submerged or wet, especially for the wires that have aged due to years of disrepair, an electrician should be called immediately for emergency repair.

Six. For lines that are prone to being soaked by floods, electricians should be invited to relocate the lines and take elevated and moisture-proof measures.

Vii. In case of power failure during rainy days, the power supply should be cut off immediately. An electrician should be asked to check the cause and a dedicated person should be assigned to watch over it.

In addition, when maintaining wires, extra caution is needed. Do not directly wipe live wires with a wet cloth or spray cleaning agents on them. Instead, unplug the power supply and then gently wipe them with a soft cloth dampened with water and squeezed dry. No matter when organizing or cleaning any wires, the power should be turned off first to avoid electric leakage or electric shock accidents. In addition to the above points, we should also pay attention to

I. Installation Environment

The service life of wires depends not only on their quality but also on the installation environment. The insulation layer is a crucial part in controlling the lifespan of wires. If they are exposed to a damp environment for a long time, the insulation layer will be corroded, and its insulation performance will gradually decline, leading to problems such as wire aging, cracking or peeling. This phenomenon is highly likely to cause fire accidents and result in casualties. Therefore, when installing household wires, it is essential to avoid damp and water-containing areas and also try to prevent direct sunlight to extend the service life of the wires

Second, daily use: Having understood the installation environment of wires, we should also pay more attention during our daily use. With the continuous improvement of the social and economic level, household appliances such as dishwashers, vacuum cleaners and humidifiers are gradually increasing, which often leads to the situation where household circuits are overloaded. Overloading electricity usage can cause local overheating of wires, thereby accelerating the aging of the insulation layer, reducing the service life of the wires, and leading to short circuits and fire accidents. When using electricity in daily life, everyone should try to avoid using high-power appliances simultaneously. In addition, on special days like rainy days, make sure to close the doors and Windows, try not to use electrical appliances, and it's best to cut off the power supply and do a good job in the daily maintenance of the wires.

Iii. Specialized Inspection To ensure the safety of household electricity usage, it is necessary for everyone to conduct regular safety inspections of household circuits and electrical equipment. At least once a year, professional personnel should be invited to conduct a comprehensive inspection, especially for the wires that have been in use for a long time in the household. It is necessary to check for problems such as aging and damage of the wires, and carry out timely repairs or replacements to prevent the occurrence of electric shock and leakage risks, ensure the normal operation of household circuits, and extend the service life of the wires.

Substandard wires and cables not only affect our usage but also directly threaten our life safety. Therefore, we must keep our eyes wide open and choose high-quality cables with quality assurance. Being responsible for our lives and creating a safe environment is not only the goal that the editor has always pursued, but also something that each of us should do.
