In the case of overload or short circuit of the power adapter, the temperature increase is a symbolic situation, and attention must be paid to avoid the appearance of a large number of problems. There are a large number of diodes and capacitors inside the adapter. If any of the small parts is short-circuited, the internal power loss will increase, and the heat will also increase. This abnormal working state often causes the product to heat up. If you are not careful, a fire can easily occur.
When it is found that the power adapter has serious heat, it can basically be determined that a fault has occurred. If you continue to use it, it will greatly increase the safety hazard. Now, in order to save production costs, some manufacturers often use diodes inside the adapter that are relatively resistant, and the quality of the internal insulating tape will also be relatively poor, and the number of layers is relatively small, the internal temperature is high, and it is easy to deform. This eventually leads to a situation where the thick insulating layer on the outside of the adapter also deforms. Transformer windings can also experience skeleton melting due to increased temperature.
As a consumer, when purchasing an adapter, you should carefully check its labeling. If you don`t understand much, you can learn it through the Internet. You must have a correct understanding of the workmanship, power, and voltage of the purchased product. Only the power adapter used with the equipment can meet the standard of use.
Most consumers only know how to use adapters and electronic devices simply, but do not know much about their internal structure, so they need to pay more attention, and there are hidden dangers around them if they are not careful. As long as the power adapter is used as required, these problems will stay away from you, so there is no need to worry. The use of adapters should not be arbitrarily matched, and the original equipment should be used as much as possible. When replacement is required, the products should be equipped according to the rated power and rated voltage.
