In rural areas, incidents of old lighting electrical ready boards burning down occur frequently, which often hides the dual hidden dangers of inferior materials and overloaded operation.

Poor quality materials are one of the important reasons for the burning of electrical ready boards. Some rural areas use inferior wires, cables, and electrical ready board components to reduce costs. These inferior products have insufficient voltage resistance, poor insulation performance, and excessive conductor resistance, making them prone to faults such as leakage and short circuit during use. For example, wires with insulation layer thickness that does not meet the standard are prone to insulation fracture in environments with high temperature and prolonged power supply, resulting in exposed live conductors and posing a risk of short circuit. At the same time, the poor anti-aging ability of inferior materials will accelerate the aging of equipment, shorten the service life and further increase the potential safety hazards.

Overloading operation is also a factor that cannot be ignored. With the improvement of rural living standards, the number of household appliances continues to increase, and the demand for electricity is growing day by day. However, the rated load of old lighting electrical ready boards often cannot meet the current electricity demand. When there are too many connected electrical devices or devices with excessive power are used, overload situations are prone to occur. Long term overload operation can cause overheating of lines and equipment, accelerate the aging and damage of wire insulation layers, and lead to short circuits, resulting in electrical ready board failures or even fires.

To avoid such accidents, rural areas should strengthen the renovation and upgrading of electrical ready boards, and select high-quality materials and equipment that meet national standards. At the same time, it is necessary to plan electricity consumption reasonably and avoid overloading operations. In addition, regular inspections and maintenance of electrical ready boards should be carried out to promptly identify and address potential safety hazards, ensuring the safety of rural electricity use.
