Installing new wiring in a house or apartment is quite difficult. During the repair, wiring replacement involves the complete dismantling of old wires and the redistribution of sockets, switches, lighting fixtures. In a newly built house, it is important to think about a wiring plan, taking into account the characteristics of power distribution depending on consumption.
Every day, the energy consumption in houses and apartments is only increasing, given the ever-increasing range of household and multimedia appliances. In order for all this to work and eat properly, a sound and high-quality wired electrical wiring is required. Just thinking about replacing a wiring or laying a new one, you should consider several important points:
- aluminum is not recommended for wiring private houses and apartments, especially in wires with a cross section of less than 16 squares;
- the branched type of wiring that was used earlier should not be used, this increases the load on the main lines from the meter and does not allow distributing the load in the shield;
- to power powerful equipment, such as electric stoves, electric boilers, etc., a separate wiring line should be allocated.
Layout
For greater efficiency and safety, it is necessary to separate the wiring lines in the distribution panel aimed at supplying lighting and sockets. If the lighting of the entire apartment or house can be allocated to one automatic machine, then the sockets for each room separately are better to distribute automatic fuses.
When distributing outlets, it is better to take into account a simple ratio - for every six square meters one outlet is installed. Naturally, the distribution of equipment should be taken into account in order to minimize the need for extension cords and splitters. Best if the latter will not be used at all.
Wires are laid at a distance of 10-30 centimeters from the ceiling. In order to hide the wiring, either gating is performed, or the wires in the corrugated pipe are laid for the wall sheathing. All wires sink to the outlets strictly vertically, avoiding any situations when it runs diagonally.
As a result, finished wiring should, at best, not contain junction boxes or include them to a minimum. This reduces the need to use terminal blocks or spikes between wires, i.e. No areas with bare or poorly insulated wires.
