A 3-pin power plug has three pins or two blades, or two pins plus a grounding hole. Such a structure is more complicated than a 2-pin power plug. The size and diameter of the pins are required, and the length and the distance between the pins are all factors to be considered.

1. Before we use it, let us first understand the performance of the power cord plug you use, so that we will be safer when using it, so choose a regular shopping mall, supermarket or specialty store when purchasing. Choose brand products and choose corresponding products according to the power of the electrical appliances used. Products such as air conditioners and high-power showers should use 16A plugs and sockets, and other low-power home appliances should use 10A plugs and sockets.

2. The next step is to check whether the product mark of the power cord plug you purchased is complete, and also check the certificate of conformity and the inspection report issued by the statutory department. If the converter product is not included in the compulsory certification, the inspection report issued by the statutory inspection agency should be checked when purchasing.

It is also necessary to pay attention to the use of plugs that can be rotated by the plug, or artificially change the original shape of the socket, so as to avoid using two high-power electrical appliances on one socket at the same time. When it is found that the temperature of the plug, socket or power cord is too high or sparks occur, stop using it and replace it, and choose a manufacturer with a certificate.
