* Heat generation due to vibrations and poorly tightened coupling screws which result in overheating is the most frequent cause to fire in outlets. At low twisting moment are achieved temperatures up to 900c in the screw clamp. When the connector was moved forwards and backwards are achieved temperature, up to 300oc. Thus it is great danger for ignition and fire in out let. The fire hazard increases in a poorly screwed clamp connection.
* Low voltage: This is an electric engineering term that broadly identifies safety consideration of an electricity supply system based on the voltage used. The most commonly used ones include “Mains Voltage” 230V AC. Low Voltage” is characterized by carrying a substantial risk of electric shock, but only a minor risk of electric are through air. Low current is distinguished from “ Extra low Voltage, which carries a much reduced risk of electric shock. But high Voltage is where electrical arcing is a substantial additional risk
* In an improper installation, the over current from a short circuit may cause ohmic heating of the circuit parts with poor conductivity (faulty joints in wiring, faulty contacts in power sockets, or even the site of the short circuit itself). Such overheating is a common causes of fire.
