How to reasonably install and arrange wires? Preventing electrical wiring fires is very important. Once a disaster occurs, the consequences are unimaginable. Therefore, we need to consider these potential problems in home decoration in advance and take perfect measures during construction to prevent them from happening.
During the process of home decoration, the most likely direct cause of fire is the electrical wiring. To prevent fires caused by electrical wiring, the most important thing is the installation of the wiring. You must choose a regular company with certified electricians; when selecting wires, choose insulated copper core wires or flame-retardant insulated copper core wires from reputable manufacturers; when laying electrical wiring in the ceiling or interlayer, you must use insulated metal pipes or flame-retardant pipes, and there should be no joints inside the pipes. Poorly handled wire joints can directly cause short circuits, sparking, and even explosions.
The standard way to connect wires is through tinning (soldering), but some renovation teams or small companies, for convenience, simply connect two wires together and wrap them with black tape to finish the job. This can easily lead to increased resistance, overheating during use, and subsequently result in short circuits or tripped breakers. Currently, large-scale decoration enterprises use professional connection terminals (a tool for connecting wires, network cable ports can also be called terminals), which can avoid such hidden dangers.
Since wire connections are relatively specialized, ordinary homeowners cannot identify whether the wire connections are correct. If you have chosen a small company or a team of workers and are not confident in their construction skills, Wang Yan offers a few suggestions that you can use to simply monitor the quality of wire connections—emphasizing that open flames should not be used at the construction site; direct coiling connections for wire joints are not allowed, and you can request the use of terminals to connect plastic-coated copper wires; or adopt soldering methods for the work.
