Since the late 1980's, electric bedding in the USA has been designed to be used at low wattage or a low level of heat all night long. This has prevented many of the fires that used to happen in this country and still do occur in some other countries that continue to use higher wattage products. Today the watts consumed or heat level is so low that unless your body or an over-blanket traps the generated heat, you will hardly feel the warmth. Do not be concerned over this! Try sleeping with a product and you will readily see that its heat is more than sufficient to keep you warm all night even in a very cold room (50 degrees F. or even cooler with additional bedding). As an added benefit, users in the USA can derive therapeutic benefits from the low level of heat spread over many hours -- for lots more info, see the Health and Safety tabs at the Consumer Guide of the Electric Blanket Institute, The Bible for electric bedding information.
(Note: In some other countries, electric mattress covers or blankets are designed to produce lots of heat to warm the bed prior to getting in and then the heated blanket or cover is unplugged for the remainder of the night. These products do not need a heat controller and many do not even have an ON/OFF switch. One plugs them in to warm up the bed and then unplugs them to stop the heating.)
What else can I help you with?
Is it dangerous to put plugs in wall sockets when they are switched-on English sockets?
This question may be asking if it is safe to plug things into mains wall sockets if they have been left switched on with nothing plugged-in, and if it is safer to plug things in only after the sockets have been switched off? If, and only if, that is the meaning of this question, the answer is probably: It should not be dangerous to plug something into a switched-on socket but it is always a good idea - and safer - to switch off any socket before you plug anything into it. +++ The hazard is not in the plugging-in, but may arise from the appliance itself, if it starts unexpectedly.
How likely could an electric oven start a fire if left on?
The likelihood of an electric oven starting a fire if left on depends on several factors, such as its age, condition, and maintenance. Generally, modern electric ovens are designed with safety features to prevent fires, but leaving any appliance unattended for an extended period increases the risk. It is important to always follow manufacturer guidelines and never leave the oven unattended while in use.
What is a 3 way electrical outlet plug?
Usually referred to as a 3-prong plug if we are talking about a normal home electrical issue. It is a "male plug" which fits into a "female receptacle". It has one rounded prong (Earth ground) and two spade like prongs which are "Hot" and "Neutral". The orientation of the third grounding prong insures that the Hot and Neutral are corrected properly to your appliance. This is most important when the appliance has a metal outside to reduce shock hazard. In typical installations Black wire is connected to Hot, White to Neutral and Green to Ground. Neutral and Ground are bonded together at your electric box so at any outlet the resistance (as measured by an Ohm Meter) would be quite low. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A three-pin plug contains of neutral plug(left),live plug(right)and earth plug(up).The live wireis usually in the color of brown while earth wire is in the colour of green and yellow,and neutral wire is in the colour of blue.Live plug is connected with the elctrical supply.The live wire carries a voltage which drives an electric current through the electric appliance.The neutral wire offers a re-turn way for electric wire while the earth wire is a safety deivce.It protects us from electric shock in case an electric appliance is faulty.
Which appliance in a home use the least energy?
The worst offenders are things that produce heat - such as an electic cooker, or a kettle. Next up are old inefficient lights. Finally consumer devices like Computers, TVs, DVD players.While the last group use the least electicity they tend to be left in a standby mode that still consumes electicity which means within a 24hr period your TV can easily consume more electricity than your kettle did...
