Common insulated power line used in our daily lives very wide, especially in the interim with the line and home improvement indoor line use is very large, fire and electric shock due to the use of inferior wire recently triggered occur. That in the end how to identify genuine and fake and shoddy wire it? There are several methods described below:
1. The wire insulation is not made of high quality plastic insulation of the system, but with recycled plastic, gently peel the insulating layer can be peeled off, so can easily cause the insulating layer is hit while wearing the leakage current, the user's pose a great threat to life and property.
2. The conductive core DC resistance failed. The thickness of the wire conductors, wire to determine the merits of the current load, if the wire line core using inferior materials, far less than their actual cross-section indicated in the specifications, long-term use because of conductor resistance over the General Assembly cause fever, caused by electrical fire danger.
According to the actual situation described below how to identify counterfeit wire approach:
1. Look at the label. Regular manufacturers of wire content certificate shall include: 3C certification mark, certification number, model specifications, performance standards, rated voltage, wire length, date of production, producers, verifier, name and address, phone, anti-counterfeiting mark Wait. The label printed counterfeit products are often unclear or incomplete imprint.
2. Look at the surface. Regular wire plastic sheath soft and smooth, uniform color. On its surface, it should be printed on several product qualification certificate on contents, such as: 3C certification mark, certification number, model, rated voltage, performance standards, and company name. Meanwhile, the writing must be clear and indelible.
3. Test bent. Preferably a first hand repeatedly bent wire, all soft, anti-fatigue strength, elastic plastic or rubber handle and wire insulator without cracking is the superior product. Shoddy wire insulation looks like a very thick, in fact, is mostly made of recycled plastic, if a little squeeze, squeeze at will into a white-like, curved 4 to 6 times have broken the phenomenon;
4. torn insulation. High-quality insulation material has a certain mechanical strength and flexibility, easily torn apart. The poor quality of the wire can hand down a tear or pinch;
5. Look combustion. According to the provisions of the wire's insulation has a certain flame retardancy. Section of the insulating layer is peeled off, be lit with a lighter, after leaving the fire will continue to spontaneous combustion are poor quality lines.
