Socket panel

"Guide" socket panel is an important accessory that can control electrical appliances and electronic products at will in our life, and their existence facilitates the problem of electricity consumption in our daily life. So, how to install and use the socket at home? Isn't the more the better? Socket panel socket, the key to household electricity, is very common, but many friends will not use it correctly. Therefore, before using them, we should thoroughly understand their size, material and structure.

1, socket size

There are four common socket panel sizes, namely 86, 1 18, 120 and 146. Type 86 refers to the socket size of 86mm0*86mm, which is an international standard socket size with a square appearance and is a common socket size in home decoration; The model 1 18 is a strip socket, which can be freely combined according to requirements; Model 120 is a vertical panel; The model 146 is twice as big as an ordinary socket.

2, the structure of the socket

Although the socket and switch have different functions, they are similar in structure, and they are all composed of panel, current carrier, plug (tap), contact and base.

3. Socket material

Commonly used materials that can be used as socket panels are engineering plastics (now obsolete), polycarbonate, jade powder, Anji plastic powder and so on. Each material has its own characteristics, and the sockets made have different characteristics.

Specification and use of socket panel Although many friends know that sockets have different specifications and models, it is not clear that sockets with different specifications are different to use. So there will always be accidents caused by improper use of various sockets around us. In order to avoid this kind of accident, let's talk about the specifications and usage of the socket in detail.

First, sockets with different rated currents should be used in different occasions. Common household sockets are 10A, 16A, 20A. 10A is mainly used for household appliances below 2200W, 16A is mainly used for high-power sockets such as air conditioners below 2.5P, and 20A is mainly used for air conditioning cabinets above 3P.

Second, different devices should use sockets with different functions. Three hole socket is mainly used for three-hole plugs, computer sockets, TV sockets and other corresponding equipment.

Third, know how to use the socket with switch. Some sockets with switches can be used independently as switches and can also be used to control sockets.

Fourth, understand the wiring principle of the socket. The wiring of the socket should be correct, and the basic principle is that the left zero and right fire are grounded.

The more socket panels are installed, the better. Although many sockets have been installed, there is no need to worry about insufficient sockets at home. You can use the socket anywhere. But in fact, the more sockets, the better, because more sockets are installed, which will also bring some trouble to the family. What is the specific trouble?

First, resources are wasted.

When decorating, the installation of socket is one of the expenses of hydropower transformation. If too many sockets are installed, the decoration cost will also rise. In addition, there are sockets everywhere in the house, which easily leads to some sockets being abandoned and unreasonable allocation of resources.

Second, the distribution is unreasonable.

The distribution of sockets in each space is determined according to the number to be installed. If there are too many sockets, the distribution is prone to unreasonable places. For example, in a corner of the kitchen, as long as one socket is installed, three sockets are installed at the same time. The location of the socket needs to be reserved, which is unreasonable in both visual and practical value.

Third, it affects the use of other furniture.

It is not a good thing to install too many sockets in some places where furniture needs to be placed. For example, two sockets are installed at the end of the drawer, but three sets of sockets are installed at the end of the drawer. Because the socket is too close to the drawer, it is easy to cause the drawer not to open.

Key points of home socket panel design For a family, the design of switch socket should be solved before hydropower construction. But many friends are worried because they don't know how to design household sockets. Next, talk about the design points of the socket panel.

First, make clear the socket requirements of each area.

According to the function, the family mainly includes porch, dining room, living room, bedroom, study, bathroom, kitchen and other areas. The type and number of sockets required in each area are different. Therefore, when designing sockets, it is necessary to sort out the electricity consumption and sockets in each area.

For example, the electrical appliances frequently used in the porch include sweeping robot, shoe dryer, electric car charger, etc. At least two sockets shall be installed, and one spare socket shall be reserved.

Second, understand the living habits of family members.

Each family member's living habits are different, and they will behave differently when using the socket. Therefore, when designing sockets, we should also properly consider the needs of family members for sockets, and then rationally arrange sockets.

Third, don't forget to make a reservation.

The installation of the socket may not be just right, and electrical appliances may be added at home in the future. Therefore, when redesigning the socket, we should consider the reserved situation. For example, the 1-2 socket is reserved beside the toilet and under the kitchen sink, and one socket is reserved on the dining room wall.

The socket panel is polished or frosted. Like the switch panel, the socket panel has different types of materials. The panel materials of common switch sockets are polished and frosted, so which one is better?

First of all, we need to understand the advantages and disadvantages of polished panels. Because the polished panel surface is smooth, it is not easy to accumulate dust, and it is convenient to clean, so it can be wiped gently with a dry rag directly; However, polished panels also have some disadvantages, such as being easily scratched, and once the surface is scratched, it is ugly and cannot be eliminated.

Secondly, the socket surface of frosted panel looks calm and not easy to be scratched after frosting process. Even if accidentally scratched, generally will not leave obvious scratches; But its disadvantage is that it is easy to get dirty, and it will leave traces when touched casually, which is more troublesome to clean.

Finally, frosted panel socket and polished panel socket have their own advantages and disadvantages. When you choose, you should combine your family's preferences and furniture decoration style to decide. For example, modernist decoration style, and interior decoration is mainly white, which is suitable for choosing sockets with polished panels; If it is a classical style, it is suitable to choose a frosted panel socket, and the atmosphere is calm.
