The reason is simple, this thing is not very safe.
1. Danger of leakage and scald
The quality of the electric kettle is a problem. After all, as a new electrical product, a slight quality problem will bring serious consequences, not to mention a pot of water (water is conductive).
The most terrible thing is: this pot of water is often boiled water! ! It was burned in the dormitory, and the school was also involved-even if it was an electric kettle for personal use.
2. Circuit safety issues
Needless to say, the quality of the old dormitory in the school, even the newly built dormitory in recent years, the design current of many lines will not be very large, and the insurance amount of air switch is generally 3-5 years, and it is good to provide 4-6KW.
According to the conventional design capacity, if 70% of dormitories are using high-power electrical appliances such as electric kettles, plus lighting, computers and other electrical appliances, then the dormitory circuits are overwhelmed, and tripping is definitely a common occurrence.
It's not the dormitory that the school wants to see traveling every day, is it?
3. Fire
For those electric kettles that don't trip automatically, once the water boils and you forget to unplug the power supply, it is easy to catch fire.
And those old dormitory buildings, the circuit is in disrepair for a long time. Under the damage of electric kettle and other appliances, it is accidental that the line does not catch fire, but it is inevitable that it will catch fire!
In fact, if you visit the old dormitory buildings of various universities, you will find that there are traces of fire at the joints of many lines in the building.
School is for you to learn, not for you to play.
To sum up:
Using electric kettle = violating school rules.
Something happened to the electric kettle = a serious violation of the school rules.
Setting fire to the dormitory with an electric kettle must be more than one bargained for.
