Potential security risks
The metal shell of air conditioner is charged, which has potential safety hazards. Once it comes into contact with the charged metal shell, it will lead to personal injury and even life-threatening.
Function of leakage protector
Leakage protector is a kind of safety protection device. When leakage current is detected, it can automatically cut off the power supply and protect personal safety. However, if it is plugged into a socket without a ground wire, the leakage protection will lose its function and the safety risk will increase greatly.
Use a power socket with a grounded electrode.
In order to ensure the function of leakage protector, it is necessary to use power socket with grounding electrode. Grounding electrode can introduce leakage current into the earth to protect personal safety.
Check where the air conditioner leaks.
If your air conditioner is charged, you need to check where it leaks in time. You can use a professional leak detector, or ask a professional for inspection and maintenance.
