How to choose a power strip?
1. There is a qualified mark
This is the most basic. There must be a 3C certification mark, and it is best to choose a product that meets the new national standard to ensure the qualification of the product to the greatest extent, so as to ensure safety.
2. Recognize the maximum power of the socket
You need to know the maximum power supported by the power strip, and don’t overload it. Generally speaking, the power of the power strip for household use does not exceed 2500 watts, and there will be a mark on it. You can refer to the next power strip for this.
3. Material (fire resistance, etc.)
Generally, the shell is made of ABS material, that is, engineering plastic. Although it has insulation and is not affected by the temperature and humidity environment, the material is unstable, easy to deform and change color, the life is low and the most important thing is that it is not flammable. You should choose flame-retardant PP or PC materials. , not only has excellent flame retardancy and insulation, but also has very good impact resistance, and the material is stable, aging-resistant, and not easy to change color. Some plug-in strips use other high-quality fire-resistant materials.
In terms of internal structure, there are two common types according to the connection structure: integrated copper busbar and single-strand copper wire. Simply put, in terms of safety, it is: integrated copper busbar>single-strand copper wire.
