For example, when purchasing a 16A plug power cord, you need to see whether the wire square size is 1.5 square or more. If the wire is less than 1.5 square, it is easy to wire when using high-power electrical products. The copper wire heats up and the PVC outer skin becomes soft, causing problems such as electrical burnout or circuit short-circuiting.
