If you want to apprehend how your space heater can cause fire, you must first ascertain the device's common dangers.  • The first jeopardy is the amount of current the heater consumes during operation.  • The standard current rating for electric torpedo heaters is usually 1500W or nearly 12.5-Amp. • This rating makes it safe to use in the home. The power cord, heater, electrical wiring, and other technical features are working perfectly.  • Also, you are using one heater per electrical circuit. • If there's any malfunction or fault in any essential elements, it can cause failure resulting in fire and smoke. In the case of portable electric heaters, the common issue is employing undervalued extension cords. Manufacturers usually recommend connecting the device straight to any electrical repository, ensuring safety. So it's important to note that – You shouldn't connect electrical torpedo heaters to an electrical power strip or extension cord. However, you can do so if you know that their electric rating is more than your heater's electrical capacity. If you use an undervalued cord, it can overheat the cord's wiring materials. Eventually, it can cause potential hazards, burns, or a short circuit resulting in fire. Moreover, users should maintain at least three feet of clearance from torpedo heaters. However, torpedo heaters from top manufacturers are today equipped with top-over safety features that prevent overheating or other hazards. But the fact is that most consumers can't dig out whether the objects surrounding them are in danger of ignition or are overheating.
