The main points of purchase
After understanding the advantages and disadvantages of track socket, I will introduce the main points of purchasing power track socket from three aspects.
1.power
It is also a power track socket, but the carrying power is different.
As mentioned before, if the power track socket is connected to multiple high-power appliances at the same time, it may cause overloading, so be sure to check the power before buying, and try to buy 8000w.
2.security
Try to choose products with one-button switch and overload protection. Even if it is overloaded, the power can be cut off immediately. At the same time, you are worried about children being curious and accidentally plugging in and getting an electric shock. Choose a track slot with a narrow opening and a design to hide the zero live wire, which is a metal plug. If you go in, you can only touch the ground wire.
3.Style and length
Adjustable track socket has two installation methods: surface mounting and embedded. Please note that the structures of these two power track sockets are different.
Installation location and details
When I explain to you where you need to press the adjustable track socket, I will first give you a reference condition: If there is a location where many home appliances need to be concentrated, consider the power track socket.
Not recommended installation location
There are two typical error representatives:
1.The kitchen itself has a lot of oil smoke. Over time, the middle of the track socket will absorb a lot of oil. Although there are adjustable track sockets on the market that can block oil smoke, they are more expensive and the kitchen environment is more complicated. If you can’t install it in the kitchen, try not to install it. Install.
Of course, if your kitchen has less fumes and you spend most of your time in the kitchen, we also have a guide on installing power track sockets in the kitchen (click here, not only the kitchen, but also bedrooms, living rooms, bathrooms, etc.)
Going back to the topic just now, some people even install track sockets above the sink. If water accidentally splashes on them, it will cause safety problems.
2.Island table, because the island table is basically used for parties or computer work, and many home appliances are not used at the same time, so it is enough to install one or two sockets, which also saves money.

Recommended installation location
1.Place small appliances that do not use open flames or generate oil smoke outside the kitchen in the middle of the sideboard or kitchen. This not only saves space on the kitchen countertop, but also prevents these small appliances from absorbing oil. You can place them in the middle of the sideboard in the restaurant, or Western kitchen countertop
2.In the study room, when the desk is close to the wall, there are many sockets that need to be installed, including monitors, hosts, speakers, desk lamps, mobile phones, 3D printers, air purifiers, etc., so it is recommended to install adjustable track sockets.
