How To Extend The Life Of The Wire? Wire Maintenance Has a Coup

The normal use of the PVC  wire is generally within twenty years. However, if the operation is not standardized during use, its lifespan will be gradually reduced. Wires and cables will age after a certain number of years of use.

The wires used in home decoration have many reasons for aging in the actual use process. How to prolong the service life of the wires?  Electromechanical will introduce it to you.

The length of the service life of the wire depends on the quality of the wire and the environment in which the wire is installed and used. The wire is mainly insulated by the outer layer of the sheath. Over time, it is corroded by corrosive gases, and the insulation performance is gradually reduced, slowly aging and hardening, becoming brittle or falling off, and then it will not function as insulation.

The insulating layer on the exterior of household wires is mostly made of plastic and rubber, which will age and lose its insulating effect after a long time of use. It is very dangerous for the wire to lose the insulation performance. If the two wires touch together or the live wire touches something connected to the ground, the phenomenon of running electricity will occur, which will increase the temperature of the local wire and cause sparks. If there is flammable material near the wire, it is easy to cause a fire and cause a fire.

Therefore, we can pay attention to the following points in the process of use, which can also effectively extend the service life of the PVC cable:

(1) The wires should not be damp, heated, corroded or bruised.

(2) The wires should be checked for a certain number of years. If any faults are found, they should be replaced in time.

(3) Do not overload the wires.

(4) Regularly check the use of electrical appliances and circuits in the home, and carry out maintenance and repairs in a timely manner.

(5) For the lines of old-fashioned buildings, if they are found to be submerged or wetted by water, especially if the lines are in disrepair and aging for a long time, please immediately ask an electrician to repair them.

(6) For lines that are easily soaked by floods, an electrician should be asked to relocate the lines and take overhead and moisture-proof measures.

(7) If there is a power failure in rainy days, the power supply should be cut off immediately, and an electrician should be asked to check the cause and send a special person to take care of it.

In daily life, measures to slow down circuit aging should be taken, and moisture-proof measures should be taken for exposed wires. Electrical appliances with different voltage requirements should use wires of different sizes. If it is found that the power cord that has been aged or broken is replaced in time, the replacement should conform to the specifications of the original power cord.
