Each host during repair faces the situation when you need to drill a hole in the wall. Everything would be nothing, but under the plaster can pass the electric wire, and I would not want to damage it. In addition, it is dangerous. Even if you have a plan for all communications, it is impossible to trust him completely. Wiring can be laid with a violation. We will tell you about several ways, how to detect hidden wiring yourself.

It is best to look for hidden wiring with special devices. We will tell about them further. But what to do if there is no device? You can apply the radio receiver to search. Turn it on and bring it to the wall. If it passes the wire under voltage, then in the radio, characteristic crackles will be heard. Thanks to him, you will find an electric highway. But this is the so-called near-native way to accurately find wiring - use the alarms.

Consider several alarms. For example, the device referred to in the commoner "Woodpecker", its correct name - the E-121 signaling device. The principle of operation is that the beep is created when the device falls into the electro field. In general, it gives a signal only if there is a voltage in the power grid. The signal will be the stronger than the closer the device is located to the electrical wire. To find the wire, hover the antenna on the wall and look for: where the signal will be louder, there is a wire that you need to find.

The MS-58M tester can find under the plaster not only the electrical wire, but also different items made of metal. They can detect nails, reinforcement, screws. It is not necessary for it to be the desired subject to be energized. Working with such an appliance requires certain skills. You have to learn how to determine the sound of the signal, what exactly you have found - the usual screw in the wall or electrical wires.

Nicely proven the device Posp-1. It is used to detect the wiring and shows the presence of an electric field in electrical assemblies and shields. The device has sound and light alarms, antenna, charger. It can be found at a depth of five centimeters at a depth. The device lead along the wall to a steady signal. Where the signal is louder - there and the wire.

One of the simple detector models is BDS300, the entire indication of this device is collected by LEDs. In order for it to be reconfigured, it has a switcher to different modes. The device you just need to lead along the wall until a confident signal appears. For greater accuracy, scan it is recommended from different sides.
Searching devices makes it impossible random damage to the current and allows not to spoil the tool.
