Does Your Electrical Switchboard Need an Upgrade?
你的电箱需要升级吗？
Do you live in an older house? Old switchboards, especially the type that use ceramic fuses, need to be upgraded for safety reasons.
你住在一个相对旧的房子里吗? 老的开关箱, 特别是用保险丝的那种, 出于安全原因, 需要进行升级.
What is an electrical switchboard? Switchboards are a crucial element of your home’s electrical system. They distribute electricity around your home. Modern switchboards have integrated safety switches that interrupt the power supply when a problem is detected. Safety switches lower the risk of electrical fires, and help protect your family from electrocution.
什么是电箱? 电箱是你家里电力系统的重要组成部分. 它分配电能到你家的各个部分. 新款电箱具有安全开关, 当问题被检测到时, 会切断电源.
Older homes were built in a time when far fewer electrical appliances were used, and the devices commonly used in the average modern home today may place a dangerously high demand on older switchboards. Ceramic fuses may pose a fire risk, and are a considered a hazard for electrical shock. Unfortunately many older switchboards also do not have safety switches to cut off the supply if there is a problem or overload
老房子被建的时候, 用电设备还比较少. 现代家里通常使用的设备,对于老开关箱来讲, 是危险的. 保险丝类的老开关箱具有火灾和触电隐患. 很不幸地, 许多老开关箱在问题发生时,不会自动切断电源.
How do I know if I need an upgrade? Flickering lights, fuses regularly blowing, and circuit breakers continually tripping are all signs your switchboard may need upgrading. If your home’s electrical switchboard was manufactured before safety switches became mandatory, you should have it checked for overall safety and safety switches should be installed.
我如何知道是否需要升级? 灯会闪, 保险经常烧, 还有短路器一直跳闸, 这些都是电箱需要升级的信号. 如果你家里的开关箱是在安全开关被强制规定安装之前就存在的, 你应该找人做下整体的安全检查, 并且安全开关必须安装.
Is it expensive to upgrade? The cost of hiring a licensed electrician to install a new switchboard is a very minor investment compared to the cost of rebuilding your home after a electrical fire. Even without the potential fire risk, the cost of upgrading an out-of-date switchboard is usually small compared to other household renovations and upgrades.
升级是不是很贵? 雇一个有牌照的电工来安装一个新的开关箱, 对于因电气起火而重新建房的费用, 是非常小的投资. 即使没有潜在起火的危害, 升级过时的开关箱的费用相对于家里其它的装修和升级, 依然很小.
