How to make wiring in the apartment

Electricity-related work require considerable planning, compliance with norms and qualitative execution. In addition to practical skills and desire to make work itself, the knowledge of the theoretical foundations will still need to improve the apartment wiring.

Used tools

The minimum electrician set includes:

• Ticks, nippers and passes with insulated handles;
• Screwdrivers with different tips;
• Network voltage and tester indicator;
• Roulette, insulating tape.

Installing boxes, sockets and gaskets of hidden power lines are made using a drill, perforator, stroke and brine.

Drawing up an electrical wiring plan

Design begins with the creation of a schematic diagram reflecting the location of household appliances and electronics, junction boxes, switches, sockets and lamps. In order to reduce the costs and ensuring the stable and secure operation of the electricity consumption point is divided into three groups:

• Outlets require larger sections.
• Lighting lamps allow you to save on the cable.
• Bathroom and all appliances connected to water need a protective shutdown device ( Uzo.).

For each group, we plan to sum up a separate power line from the power shield.

Preparation of materials

Depending on the structure of the walls and types of finishing, the wiring method is determined - an open, beaten in the wall or hidden in special plinths and boxes. According to the alleged load wires are selectedThe desired number of cables and electrical products is calculated and purchased.

Planning mounting work

The layout of the passage of the supply lines is carried out taking into account the specified in Pue. (Rules of electrical installation devices) standards:

• Separation boxes and sockets should be placed in places available for revision.
• The wiring is packed by clear vertical or horizontal lines.
• The minimum distance from the electrical wiring to the eaves and beams is 10 cm, to the ceiling - 20 cm, to the plinth - 15 cm, to the corners, windows and doors - more than 10 cm.
• The bare parts of the conductors and the connection points are necessarily closed and isolated.
• Switches are installed at a distance of 90 cm from the door and floor.
• Sockets are placed no closer than 50 cm from gas pipelines, batteries, shells and pipes.
• In the bathroom it is allowed to install special sockets for washing machines, razors and hairdryers.

The order of installation of electrical wiring

When creating electrical wiring, perform in such a sequence:

1. Channels for cables, passages through the walls and niches under the installation boxes.
2. Connectors, distribution panels.
3. Put, fix and label power wires.
4. Connect the conductors in sockets and junction boxes.
5. Mount lighting chains and low-current lines.
6. Check the correctness of the compounds.
7. Connect new wiring to the network.
8. Check system performance.
9. Install switches and sockets.
10. Place lighting devices, connect household aggregates.

The correct arrangement of the apartment wiring ensures the safety of housing and people in it. Electrical operations should be carried out in accordance with the standards displayed in SNiP 3.05.06-85.
