There are many reasons for cable short circuit, but they are nothing more than two categories. One is production quality; the other is installation and use environment. As a cable manufacturer, it should start with raw materials and strictly control the quality links in the production process to ensure that the products are shipped. 100% meets the standard requirements.

The user should pay attention to the laying of cables in accordance with the requirements of relevant national standards and regulations, and strictly control external force damage during the construction process; when using them, they should pay attention to the lines that cannot be overloaded and are critical to the safety of human life. If the cable is short-circuited, the other cable should be able to start power supply immediately.
