Wall Socket Fire Analysis

Abstract

Fire scene investigation on fire caused by the wall socket,extracted the copper bead and aluminum wire material evidence,observe and analysis,include the macro analysis and metallographic analysis, and then confirmed the reason.Through the identification of the extracted fire material evidence,macro features are all electric heated,the metallographic analysis to determine the nature of the melted marks respectively for primary short circuit melted marks and over load melted marks and short circuit spatter melted mark. These three kinds of trace is in line when the electrical fault occurred formed, and a primary short circuit melted marks provides the most direct strong scientific basis for the cognizance of the fire,and determined the fires is caused by the faulted wall socket.
