In recent years, there have been many huge electrical fires attributed by faulty cables causing many people's concerns about the safety of themselves and their families. In fact, if we understand the causes of accidents and risks of substandard products, as well as prevent them in a timely manner, we can protect our own safety.
Risk of fire and explosion caused by poor-quality cables
The cause of the risks
According to statistics from the Fire Prevention and Fighting Police Department and the General Statistics Office, in 2019, there were more than 3454 fires and explosions, killing 88 people, injuring 160 people, and property damage estimated at 1126.8 billions dong. Of these, 3280 cases occurred in establishments, houses, accounting for 95% of the total number of cases. One of the main causes of fire in facilities and houses comes from electrical system failures and electrical incidents which the prominent cause is the poor-quality products. This factor may originate from non-pure copper causing poor conductivity or from poor quality PVC sheath leading to heated and broken shells while constructing and using.
Besides being able to start a fire, poor-quality cables also cause a lot of influence for the electrical appliances during the using process. Poor-quality wires made from copper with a lot of impurities, as well as substandard PVC sheathed cables, will lead to the poor conductivity, quick damage and durable reduction of the equipment. Therefore, to avoid the risk of fire and explosion due to fire incidents and electrical leaks, consumers should choose prestigious electrical equipment and wires on the market and carefully check product information before using.
Faulty electrical cables on the market
The report of the test result on the total of 36 randomly selected electric cables (PVC sheathed) cables on the market by the 2014 Center for Consumer Research and Consulting shows that the actual quality of electric wires and cables still has many bad points. Up to 64% of wire samples violated the regulation on goods labeling, 25% did not meet conductor quality, 64% broke the standards of resistance, etc. This helps the Vietnamese people to be increasingly alert while choosing the genuine items.
