Yangtze Sanitary Ware|Electricity in bathroom, safety first! In recent years, electric shocks have occurred frequently in the bathroom. According to statistics, there are no less than 1,000 casualties in my country due to electric shocks in the bathroom every year, which has already sounded the alarm for us. Electric shock accidents frequently occur in the bathroom, and tragedies are staged. The root cause is basically that no equipotential device is installed. What is equipotential? Let’s take a look today. Indispensable Detailed introduction to the equipotentiality in the bathroom. According to the survey, nearly 90% of the households are not clear about the concept of equipotentiality, let alone the importance of installing equipotential devices in the bathroom. In order to prevent problems before they happen, we need to take the initiative to understand and learn why we should install equipotential devices in the bathroom. 1. Residential bathroom should be equipotential. According to the latest 'Residential Design CodeHowever, actual investigations show that 70% of owners do not have equipotential devices installed in their homes. Although it is the content of regulations, the market penetration rate of equipotential bonding protection is very low, and even many owners do not know the concept of equipotential. 2. The concept of equipotentiality in the safe bathroom is as the name implies. Equipotentiality means that the potential is equal. If the potential is not equal, there will be a potential difference or voltage. In addition to the humid environment of the bathroom, people can be shocked by electrical equipment and exposed metal. Therefore, the electrical devices, metal objects and conductive parts in the bathroom are all connected with conductors to reduce the potential difference to eliminate the hazards. This is the role of equipotential installation in the bathroom. 3. Equipotential can protect against lightning strikes and induced electric thunderstorms. When a building is struck by lightning, all metal objects in the building will produce induced electricity, especially the drain and heating pipes in the bathroom. At this time, take a shower in the bathroom, if you touch a metal object, you will be attacked by induction electricity. If there is an equipotential, the probability of being attacked by induction will be greatly reduced. 4. Equipotentiality needs to be installed by the owner. The equipotential device is usually reserved by the developer, but it needs to be installed by a professional master. The owner may need to purchase additional facilities including supporting facilities. Today, when electrical equipment is commonly used in sanitary wares, the installation of equipotentiality is a guarantee of life safety. New home owners should take the initiative to consult professional decorators. Avoid misunderstandings Common misunderstandings about bathroom equipotentiality. Equipotential installation and construction are more professional and require an experienced electrician. If the owner knows the relevant knowledge in advance, he can minimize construction misunderstandings and reduce home safety threats. Misunderstanding 1: There is no need for local equipotential bonding in any bathroom. Many people think that the electric appliances in the bathroom have been grounded through the PE wire and are protected by leakage protectors, so there is no need for local equipotential bonding for metal appliances. Positive solution: Local equipotential bonding and leakage protector are two different safety protection measures, which cannot be replaced by each other. The function of equipotentiality is to ensure that a certain potential is basically equal, so as not to generate a large voltage to harm the human body. The role of the ground wire is to ensure that the resistance between the leakage part and the ground is relatively small, so as to ensure that the current flowing through the human body is small. One is to ensure that the voltage is small, and the other is to ensure that the current is small. Misunderstanding 2: As long as it is a bathroom, local equipotentiality must be done
