At 8:30 am on January 22, the power supply of a laptop in use suddenly exploded, giving Mr. Pan, the manager who was using it, a fright. Fortunately, no one was injured, but recalling the explosion, Mr. Pan is still shaken. He said, "Luckily, I wasn't touching the wire directly at the time, otherwise...".
At Mr. Pan's home, the reporter saw that the power supply connector and wire had been blown into two pieces after the explosion, leaving a burnt black hole in the floor. "One can imagine how powerful it was." According to Mr. Pan, this laptop power supply was purchased for a little over 100 yuan six months ago at Changzhou Computer City. "Because my work unit is far from home, carrying a bunch of chargers back and forth every day is inconvenient. Each device has a spare. It is said that power cords are not consumables and should be strong and durable. Why did a problem occur after only six months?".
It is understood that there are many types of laptop power supplies on the Changzhou market, including domestic and imported originals, with prices generally ranging from 80 to 200 yuan. According to an insider, "In fact, laptop power supplies on the market are all domestically produced, but the craftsmanship varies." As for why the power cord exploded without any apparent reason, "We don't understand; it's probably a quality issue."
Winter is a high-incidence season for wire aging. When paying attention to electricity usage, one cannot ignore quality issues. When choosing electrical appliances, you should also check the power cord. First, check if the plug has the CCC mark, model, trademark, etc., and whether the plug is made of copper; then check if the printing on the wire is clear, including the CCC mark, specifications, company name, etc., and then check the overall appearance. The company promises that the power cords produced by the company use copper conductors, are of high quality, and undergo rigorous testing before leaving the factory to ensure the safety of personnel and property.
