Myth 1: The socket position is too low. When installing a socket, many families think it is too high and unsightly, and will install it in a lower hidden position.

However, Dr. Xia Dong from the Institute of Electrical Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences said that when mopping the floor, water could easily splash on the socket, leading to leakage accidents.

According to industry regulations, the exposed socket should be no less than1.8m from the ground. The concealed socket shall not be less than 0.3m from the ground.

The socket of kitchen and bathroom should be more than 1.5 meters from the ground, and the socket of air conditioner should be at least 2 meters.

Myth 2: Socket overload. When the socket is used, all kinds of electrical appliances are mixed and seriously overloaded.

It is suggested that the socket should be dedicated, and the TV socket should be plugged into TV peripheral equipment: set-top box, power amplifier and other related equipment.

The computer is plugged into the host, monitor, stereo, router and other equipment that is turned off first.

High-power appliances such as refrigerators, rice cookers and induction cookers should not be plugged into a socket.
