A 13-year-old boy was playing with a mobile phone in a fast food restaurant. He was seriously injured and killed by an electric shock on the power strip. How to use the circuit safely and correctly
Recently, a 13-year-old boy and his sister were dining at a fast food restaurant. The boy was charging and playing with his mobile phone, but he was electrocuted and killed by a leak in the power socket. The boy was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, but the boy who was not treated in time because of his injuries died.
The cause of death given by the hospital on the death certificate was shock. The boy’s
elder sister stated that the rescue doctor had told her that the younger brother had signs of electric shock.
According to the boy’s sister, “The phone is obviously good, there is no sign of burnout, and the data cable is not damaged. It can be charged, but the data cable used is not the original one. He bought it in another store.” After inspection by a professional electrician, it was found that the power socket in the shop was not equipped with a leakage protection device.
Therefore, do not charge the phone while playing, because charging while playing will increase the heat of the phone. If you play games or watch videos while charging for a long time, the temperature of your phone will rise sharply. If this is done for a long time, the battery life of the mobile phone will be shortened rapidly. In severe cases, it may cause safety accidents. At the same time, a protection device with RCD leakage protection function can also be installed at the power connection. This kind of leakage protection device can cut off the protection circuit very sensitively. Ground faults can also be used as backup protection for direct contact and electric shock to protect our personal safety.
Although this kind of leakage protection device is inconspicuous in daily life, it is closely related to our life and affects our quality of life and personal safety, so we must be extra careful.
