Question:

Why electric kettle leakage?

The day before yesterday bought a beautiful brand of electric kettle (model: 12S03CZ), home, want to get rid of the litter in the pot, by the way, try heating blocks! I did not expect that, by touch the stainless steel bottle will be electricity to take a test pencil, measurement, day 110 volts, scared me, quickly took to exchange for a home, tried, or electric voltage of 110 volts is still, I have wondered. When to change in business there tried it, then there is no problem ah is so good, why at home can not be used?It suddenly occurred to me that the amount of water added was too small! Because of the new pot, the salesman is in accordance with the scale of the pot plus water, but my home Riga water is less than 0.5 scales, I tried to add water to more than 0.5 scales, the result is really not leakage! I wonder what this is about Why is electricity leak below the scale? Use the electric heater or the friend in use, please help me to solve next?!

Answer:

There are two possibilities:1, the heating pipe leakage, in this case can only replace the new heating tube.2, wiring where there is water or other conductive dust, etc., the solution is to dry clean, and then pick up the line.The leakage of electricity is caused by a certain potential difference between the outer shell of an electric appliance and the electric wire of a city for some reason. The best method for the detection of leakage is charged with the contact pencil, if the flash of a neon bulb immediately extinguished, that is the body charged with static electricity; if the long light is undoubtedly leakage.
It is not a product problem, first unplug the socket, see above the target line, zero N line, L line, E line, is to see if the three-phase wire is plugged in, if it is two look when there is no plug plug on the corresponding zero line and FireWire. The words on the line inserted upside down.If you can't do it, use the electric lead to get a scrap of wire, rub the ends together, connect one end of the wire to the metal surface of the leak, and the other end to a nail or wall.
Electric kettle heating part of the insulation can not meet the requirements, or by voltage breakdown, or leakage of water may leak.The heating wire of the electric kettle is installed in the stainless steel metal tube, the gap between the heating wire and the metal tube tightly filled with good thermal conductivity and dielectric properties of crystalline magnesium oxide powder, if the heating wire from the metal wall too close to a violent bump, vibration, it is possible to contact each other, resulting in leakage.When the power cord is long and the outer skin is damaged, the leakage will also occur.As the electric kettle current is larger, partial contact is bad, resulting in contact resistance will bring local high temperature, burning, carbonization, destruction of insulation, will cause leakage.If there is water to between a conductive part and a kettle body, will cause leakage.There are some quality, but hard, congenitally deficient, and the quality of hidden products into the market, you have encountered.So we should avoid the bump, do not pull the plug, water not too full to overflow, into the conductive part.Electric kettle should use a three protection plug and socket wire connection, it is best to use a power supply circuit leakage protector.Electric kettle should buy double insulated products, plastic case of the best, metal shell of single insulation, try not to use.
