I. How to choose a power outlet?
1. Choose the power outlet according to the purpose of use
First, you need to determine the purpose of buying your power outlet. Are you buying a power outlet to replace the old one that is broken? Or are you buying a power outlet to equip your new home that your family will live in for the next few months? Or more specifically, do you want to equip a power outlet for your company/shop/restaurant/business location? Determining the purpose of use will help you more easily find the power outlet you want. For example, if you buy a power outlet to charge your phone and is safe for children, you can buy a Huntkey multi-function power outlet.
2. Choose the power outlet according to the function of use
Consider what you will be using the power outlet for? What electrical equipment will it be used for primarily? What voltage is appropriate for the electrical equipment you will be using? Consider this carefully, as the difference between 125 and 250 volts can easily lead to damage to electrical equipment and power outlets in the future, and not only that, this will also lead to the risk of damage causing electrical short circuits which is very dangerous.
3. Choose power outlet according to usage features
To ensure you get the right product, consider whether you want a two-prong or three-prong type? One with one power plug, or two or more? Should you get a wall-mounted type, or a portable type? Is waterproofing necessary?…
4. Choose the power outlet according to the place of use
Understanding where you will use the power outlet will help you choose the power outlet more easily. What is the voltage in the building where your company is located? What electrical equipment do people often use? Is it necessary to synchronize to increase aesthetic efficiency? What color is suitable? Where will the power outlets be located? What size of the outlet is convenient? Do you need a long or short power outlet? Is it necessary to equip a portable power outlet? If it is a portable type for easy transportation and handling of situations, how long is the power cord? If the power cord is too short, it will not be suitable for use, and if it is too long, it will easily get tangled and it will be difficult to detect damage.
5. Choose the power outlet according to the electrical equipment supplier
Normally, the price of an electrical outlet is not too expensive. Therefore, unless you are equipping an entire building with electrical outlets, the price is not an issue. The important thing is that you must find a reputable supplier. Any electrical equipment that is not really of good quality will easily lead to problems during use. Therefore, choose reputable, familiar brands, preferably the ones you have used before to ensure safety.
II. Notes when buying power outlets
Similar to other electrical devices, power outlets need to be carefully selected before being put into use. Please choose power outlets according to the following criteria.
1. Purpose of using power outlet
Every action you take has a purpose, and so does buying electrical outlets. Before buying an electrical outlet, you should determine your purpose of use first, buy it to replace, buy it for additional use, buy it where to put it, use it for what, etc. Answering all these questions will help you choose the right electrical outlet for your family.
2. Learn about the features and functions of the power outlet before buying
Each electrical device requires a different voltage that you must consider when choosing the right electrical outlet. The voltage of the electrical device requires 250 volts but the electrical outlet only allows 125 volts, the difference here is too large, it can easily cause short circuits, fires or even damage electrical equipment. Currently, electrical outlets have many features that you need to learn and consider before choosing the right type. Is it two-prong or three-prong? Is it waterproof or not? Is it portable or not?
