Under what circumstances will the electric water heater leak electricity?

On March 20, when a woman and her 1-year-old son took a bath together in a rented house in Xixiang, Xi’an, Bao’an District, Shenzhen, she was suspected of being electrocuted by electric water leakage. On February 22, Taihe Town, Baiyun District, Guangzhou A tragedy occurred in the rental house. Two Jiangxi female tenants were suspected of being electrocuted due to leakage of the water storage type water heater. Under what circumstances will the water heater leak? When the water heater leaks, how to carry out self-rescue and safe rescue? What should the family pay attention to when installing the water heater? With these questions, the Nandu appraisal group enters the quality and safety of the Chinese standard products in Guangdong Province. The Institute, together with engineers specializing in water heater safety testing, unveiled the mystery of bathroom safety.

Identification by head

Many people think that turning off the water heater during bathing can prevent leakage

On February 22 this year, a massacre occurred in a rental house in Taihe Town, Baiyun District. Two Jiangxi female tenants were suspected of being electrocuted due to leakage of water storage type water heaters. At the time of the incident, a female tenant was suspected of being showered. After the electric shock, another woman in the same room tried to rescue and was also electrocuted. In fact, the news about the water heaters is dead. Last year, in Xi'an, Qingdao and other places, there was an electric shock and death when taking a bath with an electric water heater.

The identification of Jun visited also found that many consumers believe that if the switch of the water heater is removed when taking a bath, the leakage accident can be completely prevented. Mr. Wen from Zengcheng District of Guangzhou City has used electric water heaters for 7 years. He said that the electric water heaters in the home are still safe to use, and no safety accidents have occurred. “At the same time, I feel more convenient and safer than the in-line water heater.” In fact, in addition to connecting the circuit, the electric water heater is inevitably connected to the water pipe. In some buildings with poor grounding or no grounding at all, even if the switch of the water heater is disconnected, it is still easy to leak.

Shopping guide introduces water heaters rarely mention safety knowledge

"My electric water heater has been used for five or six years, and it is almost time to change a new one." Appraisal Jun met Ms. Li, who is planning to purchase an electric water heater. She said that when purchasing electric water heaters in general, the shopping guides mostly introduce the information about the types, functions and performances of electric water heaters to customers, and the safety related knowledge is rarely mentioned.

Appraisal Jun visited Guangzhou's three home appliance stores in succession and found that most of the shopping guides knew little about the common safety knowledge. "When installing the water heater, there will be professional installations. We have not learned too much knowledge. However, users will carefully look at the instructions." A brand guide Ms. Chen said frankly that in terms of safety knowledge, the knowledge she knows is indeed Very limited. “If you can buy more when you buy it, it’s definitely good. After all, our customers have less knowledge in this area.” Ms. Li hopes that the electronics store will improve this in the future. The shopping guides can also consciously popularize some products. Safety common sense, not to ask customers to ask them, they only mentioned.

Identification record

Is the bathing electric water heater the culprit?

Time: March 1st

Venue: Guangdong Huabiao Product Quality and Safety Research Institute

Tools: pressure tester, microcomputer constant temperature and humidity tester, water heater simulation settings, etc.

Purpose: Whether the water heater will cause an electric shock accident under the conditions of good grounding measures at home, returning to the south, and not replacing the magnesium rod in time.

Kitchen hot water leaking bathroom shower may also get electric shock

Water heaters can be divided into electric water heaters, gas water heaters, solar water heaters, etc. according to different principles. Among them, electric water heaters are simply divided into storage-type electric water heaters and fast-heating electric water heaters. Engineers believe that the advantage of the fast-heating water heater is that it is easy to install and small in size. "But it must be used while boiling water. The risk of leakage is relatively high." If the total grounding is not connected, even if the kettle leaks, it may cause The person in the bathroom showered the electric shock. “Is it really terrible?” the lab crowd questioned, “The electric kettle is usually in the kitchen, and the bathroom is at least separated by a wall. How can electricity be transmitted?”
