由于过热造成的火灾风险, 英国警告不要在延长线上使用水. UK warns against using kettles on extension leads due to fire risk from overheating.

英国家庭被警告不要因火灾风险而将水壶塞入延伸引线,因为水壶吸引了大约9个安非他明——接近标准的13个插头的限度——导致过热,特别是在电流激增时。 UK households have been warned not to plug kettles into extension leads due to fire risks, as kettles draw around 9 amps—nearly the limit of standard 13-amp leads—causing overheating, especially during power surges. 专家强调,即使是短暂的使用也可能是危险的,诸如加热器、油炸机和微波炉等高排装置也应直接插在墙塞里,以防止电量过重和火灾。 Experts stress that even brief use can be hazardous, and high-wattage devices like heaters, air fryers, and microwaves should also be plugged directly into wall sockets to prevent electrical overloads and fires.
