What is the reason why the water heater socket is always burned

The reason for scorching is often because of the large current passing through the wire, when the quality of the wire is not good, and the physical resistance is too large, a large amount of heat will be generated, and the wire and interface will be burned out. In this case, it is not recommended to continue to use the original wires and sockets, which have potential safety hazards.

Be sure to replace the quality product to ensure safety.

Plugs, sockets, converters.

Poor quality is an important cause of electrical fires. The quality of small plugs, sockets and converters will pose a serious hazard to the personal and property safety of consumers.

The reason why the water heater socket is always scorched is that the water heater has a large power, so the socket must also use a current resistant to 10A, it is estimated that you are using a general socket, which is not resistant to high current, so the socket will be scorched.

1. Check whether the power is matched;

2. Check whether the contact surface is loose.

Anything else is fine!

1. In a humid environment, the copper sheet of the socket plug is corroded, and it is plugged and unplugged for a long time, resulting in the increase of the contact resistance between the plug and the socket and scorching. 2. It is actually normal for the water heater plug to burn, and the bathroom itself is relatively humid, so the electrical plugs are relatively easy to break, of course, many good brands have protective measures on the plug. Popularization of relevant knowledge:

1. When using the storage type electric water heater, the user should pay attention to filling it with cold water before turning on the electric heating. When the hot water valve is opened, water flows out, and the water needs to be stored properly before the power can be turned on. 2. When the user uses the electric water heater, when the water valve is opened and there is no water, the power supply should be disconnected immediately to avoid damage to the electric water heater due to failure to work without flowing water.

3. When using an electric water heater in an area with a freezing period, it is necessary to ensure that the water in the water heater has a certain temperature and will not freeze. Failure to do so will damage the electric water heater. 4. In order to prevent scalding, the user needs to open the cold water valve first, and then open the hot water valve; When shutting down, turn off the hot water valve first, and then the cold water valve.

5. The power of the electric water heater is large, generally above 1500 watts, and it is not possible to use the plug row, which is prone to poor contact and ablation. It is appropriate to take a special line, use a square copper core wire and a first-class power socket, and it is best to install a waterproof cover. The power socket should be purchased with a 16A switch, so that when the water heater is not in use, you can just turn the switch off.

1. There are many reasons why the plug of the water heater is burned, some of which are because the plug encounters water, resulting in a short circuit in the plug, which causes the plug to be burned out. There are also cases where the plug is burned out because the voltage is unstable. When the water heater plug burns, we need to replace it with a new triangle plug, and the specific replacement steps are as follows:

(2) Secondly, use scissors to cut off the plug of the water heater that has been burned out, and then peel off the wire skin, then you can see that there are two wires in the wire, and then use a lighter to burn off the skin of the two wires, leak out the wire inside, and burn about 2cm or so.

3) Next, use a single knife wedge to remove the cover of the new socket, and then the exposed wires in the two wires should be connected to the screws of the new socket according to the clockwise direction, and it must be noted that the two wires can not touch each other, otherwise it is easy to short-circuit.

4) Next, use a single wedge to tighten the screws on the socket and install the cover of the socket back. Finally, just connect the two-color wire to the binding post of the ground wire in the same way.

This answer is applicable to most of the water heater models of brands such as Midea F6030-A6X (HEY) > Haier EC6003-JT1 (U1).

It may be that the power of the water dispenser is large and the socket is burned out. If the quality of the socket is not good, it will lead to poor contact of the plug socket and heat and ablation. It is recommended to replace the plugs and sockets with 16A, and if you need to plug and unplug the power plug frequently, it is recommended to buy a socket with a 16A switch, and control the opening and closing of the socket through the switch.

In this way, it is convenient and avoids the failure of poor contact between plugs and sockets when frequently plugging and unplugging power plugs.

Water heater maintenance method.

Clean the inner tank regularly, because the trace impurities and minerals contained in the water, after long-term use, it will slowly precipitate, if it is not cleaned, it will affect the water quality and the service life of the whole machine;

The user of the electric water heater regularly asks professionals to inspect the equipment every year to check the safety performance and possible potential hidden dangers to be eliminated;

If it is idle for a long time, turn off the power supply and drain the water storage in the inner tank;

In order to ensure the normal use of the water heater, the safety valve needs to be maintained no less than once a month to ensure the normal pressure relief of the safety valve, and the specific method refers to the product manual.

In the humid environment, the copper sheet of the socket plug is corroded, and the contact resistance between the plug and the socket increases due to long-term plugging and unplugging, and the rated current of the socket is too small, generally please use a 16-amperre socket, if the current is larger, it is recommended to change the switch, it is recommended that the user install a closed box, do not frequently plug and unplug the plug, and install a 2P leakage switch in front of the socket. You can turn off the switch when not in use.

It is actually normal for the water heater plug to be broken, and the bathroom itself is relatively humid, so the electrical plugs are relatively easy to break! Of course, many good brands have protective measures in the plug.
