Winter, when the air is dry, is a season when fires are likely to occur. In recent years, it seems that fires caused by electrical devices and outlets have been increasing, which is becoming more concerning. Let's regularly check for danger levels with a gadget that allows for self-assessment.

In recent years, there has been an increase in residential fires caused by electrical appliances. The causes include tracking, multi-outlet wiring, improper use, and deterioration of outlets. Many people might have thought, "Oh, we might be doing that too..." and felt a chill.

So, what we want to check is the "WIRECARE PLUS." It may not be a familiar gadget, but what kind of effects can we expect?

A simple check in just 10 seconds

A simple operation style that just requires plugging it into an outlet. Once the plug is inserted, it automatically measures the load resistance value and displays the results in color and numerals on the LCD in about 10 seconds. No button operation is needed, and the results can be easily understood at a glance with three colors: red, orange, and green.

In simple terms, green means no problem. Orange indicates "reduce usage of high-power devices and conduct regular inspections," while red means "immediately call an electrician for thorough inspection or replacement." This looks easy to use even without specialized knowledge.

Extension cords and leakage prevention

Not only can wall outlets be checked, but extension cords can also be inspected. Connect it to an outlet where you have confirmed normal operation and check each socket. You can also test the operation of the leakage breaker, making sure you're well-prepared.
