Question:
Is it normal for power cords and plugs to heat up during operation?
Answer:
Slight heating of the power cord is normal. Regular temperature rise occurs when the working current flows through the appliance, which complies with electrical safety regulations. If the plug gets abnormally hot, it is usually caused by aging sockets and poor contact that lead to excessive contact resistance. It is recommended to replace it with standard national standard dedicated sockets to eliminate potential safety hazards.
