How to place outlets in the kitchen

The kitchen can be called the working office of the household. Installation of the required number of outlets with compliance with the technology of their installation will help to avoid trouble and create the most comfortable conditions for work.

To properly place outlets, make a kitchen plan with household appliances. If you can independently cope with the sticking of wallpaper, then it is better to invite a specialist to perform electrical wiring in the kitchen. You do not need to understand the cable cross section. It is enough to explain the electrician, which household appliances you are going to use and where you plan to install it.

2
Having conceived a solid repair in the kitchen with installing additional outlets, be prepared for the fact that the corridor will also have to do repairs. Open wiring to do is undesirable. There is always the likelihood of its damage. To lay the electrically conductives from the introductory cable, you will need to stick the walls. The corridor establishes the RCD - a protective device for turning off the electricity in the event of a dangerous situation.

If the triple socket is connected to one wire - it can be used to connect low-power devices. You can not connect the microwave, electric kettle and TV simultaneously to such a socket. In the best case, the UDO will work, at worst - the devices will fail.

We when ordered a new kitchen on the furniture factory of Beaver, then a designer consultant came to our home and it was already recommended for our selected model where to place sockets. A very cool service, thanks to her we did everything in the mind that now we just live and enjoy our repair and new furniture.
