What should I do if there is a short circuit at home? 10 days of network-wide hot spots and practical solutions
Recently, home circuit safety issues have become a hot topic on social platforms, especially when short circuits occur frequently during peak power consumption periods in summer. The following is a compilation of circuit fault-related content that has been hotly discussed across the Internet in the past 10 days, combined with practical solutions to help you quickly respond to emergencies.
1. Statistics of hot spots across the entire network (last 10 days)
| platform | Amount of related topics | Hot search highest ranking | Typical questions |
|---|---|---|---|
| 285,000 | TOP9 | Renovation of circuits in old residential areas | |
| Tik Tok | 120 million views | Life list TOP3 | Short circuit fire extinguishing demonstration |
| Zhihu | 4700+ answers | Hot list TOP12 | Air switch purchasing guide |
| Station B | 3.2 million views | Knowledge area TOP5 | Use of circuit testing tools |
2. Four-step method for short circuit emergency treatment
Step 1: Cut off the power
Close the main gate immediately. If the main gate emits smoke or catches fire, use an insulator such as a dry wooden stick to operate it. Data from a fire department show that 80% of electrical fires are caused by failure to cut off power in time.
Step 2: Fault location
Distribution of common short circuit causes:
| Reason type | Proportion | feature |
|---|---|---|
| Electrical overload | 45% | Relapse immediately after tripping |
| Line aging | 30% | With burnt smell |
| moisture short circuit | 15% | High incidence in rainy season |
| Installation error | 10% | Newly renovated house |
Step Three: Basic Investigation
1. Disconnect electrical appliances one by one to check
2. Check for obvious burn marks
3. Test the socket voltage (professional tools required)
Note: Non-professionals are not allowed to disassemble the circuit!
Step 4: Seek professional help
Retain the following key information for repair purposes:
| Information type | Example |
|---|---|
| Trip frequency | "Once every morning and evening" |
| accompanying phenomena | "There is sparking in the socket" |
| House age | "15 years old house" |
3. Hot search list of preventive measures
1.Equipment upgrade: Search volume for smart leakage protection switch increased by 130% week-on-week
2.Line detection: Infrared thermal imaging camera becomes a new internet celebrity tool
3.Safety modification: Xiaohongshu's "Circuit Hidden Engineering" notes surged 5 times
4. Special reminder
Recently, heavy rains have caused an increase in circuit accidents in many places. China Electricity Council reminds:
- Flooded sockets must be replaced
- When reporting for repairs, give priority to a certified electrician (can be verified on the official website)
- Insurance purchased should include circuit fire provisions
Don’t panic when you encounter circuit problems. Follow the steps to minimize the risk. It is recommended to collect this article and forward it to your family to protect the safety of your home together!
