The socket in the kitchen is always burnt out. What's wrong with it?

The kitchen socket always burns out, and one of the biggest problems is the current overload. This problem is very common, because there are too many household appliances in the kitchen, and the power of cooking appliances is generally high.

The first reason that the socket is burnt out is that the socket is burnt out due to overload. Anyone with common sense of life knows that the commonly used sockets on the wall are basically 10A, and some special sockets like air conditioners are 16A. If the current of the electrical appliance we use exceeds the specified current, it is likely to burn out the socket, which is called overload. It is not surprising that we or our families like to cook porridge and even boil water at the same time when cooking.

Of course, there is another reason, that is, poor contact of the socket. This kind of problem is also very common. This is because the normal current reaches the position of poor contact during transmission, which will lead to the increase of local resistance and the decrease of instantaneous current that can pass through, so the instantaneous current at this position will increase and burn out the socket to a certain extent. The third reason is that the spring leaf in the socket is not clamped, which is also one of the reasons for poor contact.

Therefore, in the process of use, many electrical appliances have a parameter value, which is how many amperes the current is when working. We can use it according to these parameters. For example, the rated current on the nameplate of an electrical appliance is 15A, so it is certain that this electrical appliance cannot be plugged into the socket of 10A, otherwise the socket will be burned out sooner or later. Then buy a better quality socket to prevent burns due to poor contact during use.
