Double sockets are installed when you need to connect several consumers to one landing place. Mounting a double socket is simple, it is enough to have a desire to repair the node.
Operating procedure when connecting the outlet
Disconnect the power supply from the chain, for which turn the plugs or click the shield toggle switch. Check the lack of voltage in the outlet indicator screwdriver. Remove the old outlet. Inspect the remaining conversion, if necessary, clean it or replace it, fixing the plaster. Clean the ends of the wires and connect to the terminals of the socket. Install the device into the opposite, slide until you stop and secure according to the outlet design. Electroproduction Carefully place in the opening of the opposite. The products of the old sample are attached in the hole with the help of the paws. New screwed screws. Install the top cover - and you can turn on electricity. The total power consumption of the device should not exceed 10a-16A.
Features Connection Outlet with ground wire
In this case, three wires are supplied to the outlet: red or brown - phase, blue - zero, yellow-green - grounding. Typically, zero is connected to the left terminal, the phase to the right, grounding - to the central one.
Connecting a double outlet in old houses
Wiring in such apartments without grounding wire, so it does not matter to which terminal the outlet is connected zero or phase. The main thing is not to consolidate both wires to one terminal. Only in case of summing up the grounding wire there is a need to control the correctness of the connection of the conductors.
Features of connecting stationary and collected double sockets
There are two types of double sockets: stationary double and assembled. Stationary looks like a monoblock into two connectors, is installed in one conversion. Wires are attached contacts in the form of clamps. Often, such products have two clips pairs to possibly supply the wiring from above or below, therefore, it is necessary to carefully fix the wires, you can not connect the phase and zero to one plate. In modern devices, only one input into the outlet, then electricity is evenly distributed on the device.
The assembled double socket is the same single sockets fixed by nearby, which are installed in their own sockets. The electrical pipe is connected to one socket, to connect a neighboring device, use three pieces of wires for parallel connection of the product. Stretch wires between submerged. Connect the terminals on the first socket to 2 wires - external and optional, which will then fasten the second product.
Rules for connecting conductors to outlets
Before connecting from the conductor, remove the insulation. If the PVS type cable is laid in the wall, SVVP, dual insulation VG, remove at least 15-20 cm of an external coating to increase elasticity. At dwarf wires with one layer of isolation (Type of PPV), we separate the veins at a length of 5-10 cm. Initially, do the supply wires, for which free from the coating of 5-10 mm wires. It is best to take advantage of a special device for removing isolation, but a simple knife is suitable. Start the veins in the terminals and secure the socket with regular screws. Wire ends can be bent into the ring. In this case, the area of \u200b\u200bcontact increases, and the socket will not warm up. Strategic wires are better to post.
Similarly, connected sockets not only when replaced, but also when transferring to a new place and with a complete replacement of wiring. The rules for connecting the device are the same for all types of sockets, for example, for outlets with software connection, outdoor or with a plug pushing system.
