A Little Wisdom Helps You Become Smarter !
The causes of the fire in the photovoltaic electricity meter box hung on the wall in rural areas and the correct ways to put out the fire are as follows :
Causes of the fire
- Electrical faults :
After long-term use, the wires inside the electricity meter box may age, short-circuit and other problems, generating electric sparks, which will then ignite the surrounding insulating materials and trigger a fire !
- Overload operation :
If too many electrical appliances are connected to the electricity meter box, exceeding its load-bearing capacity, the lines will overheat and cause a fire !
- External factors :
For example, lightning strikes, small animals getting into the electricity meter box and gnawing on the wires may also lead to short circuits and thus cause a fire !
Correct ways to put out the fire
- Cut off the power supply :
Immediately call the emergency repair number of the local power supply station. On the premise of ensuring safety, cut off the main power supply of the electricity meter box as soon as possible to prevent the fire from spreading and the occurrence of electric shock accidents !
- Use fire extinguishers to put out the fire :
If the fire is small, you can use a dry powder fire extinguisher to put it out. When extinguishing the fire, stand in the upwind direction, aim the nozzle of the fire extinguisher at the fire point, and press the handle to spray !
- Call professional personnel :
If the fire is too large to be controlled by yourself, immediately dial the fire alarm number and wait for the firefighters to come to the rescue. At the same time, organize people to evacuate the surrounding masses to ensure the safety of people !
- Never use water to put out the fire :
When the photovoltaic electricity meter box is on fire, water must never be used to put it out, because water is a conductor and may lead to electric shock accidents and further expand the fire !
