How to make the wiring in the garage ?

mount technology wiring in the garage is significantly different from the version of the apartment or house.Like it or not, to work still need the help of a qualified professional who fail electricity from pole to the shield, and connect the transformer, meter and circuit breakers.To do without the help of a professional electrician will not work, becauseCable outer branches of the central transmission line is necessary to have a license to work with high voltages.

electricity installation cost, made specialist, can significantly hit on your pocket, but if you spend your own electricity in the garage, the electrician will only connect you to the network.Independent wiring line has a number of advantages.First, you can save your own money.And, secondly, the'll pick up electrical work practices.

We also recommend that you pay an experienced electrician after the wiring, in the garage, he checked the quality of the connection is correct and the work done by you.The amount will insignificant, but you will not be once again to worry about security.

Creating a schema

Beforeyou'll be taken to prepare the walls, you need to carefully compose the installation wiring diagram in the garage.The diagram must indicate the input power cable into place, the place of the installation of a switch, as well as the installation location of light bulbs, lamps and sockets.

What would draw on their own wiring scheme, we recommend you take into account the following requirements:

• course must be held vertically or horizontally on the wall.Rotation is carried out only at a right angle.
• For safety against mechanical damage, the wiring is carried out at a distance of 10-15 cm from the ceiling and at a distance from the heating pipes at least 15 cm.
• switch is recommended to mount at a distance of 10-15 cm from the door frame, at an altitude of 15 meters from the ground.
• Installation of sockets is carried out at a height of 60 cm from the floor.It is recommended to place one outlet 6 sq.m.or every 4 m.
• If provided with an inspection pit in the garage or basement, switch and socket must always be placed outside of this zone.This is due to the fact that in the observation well and basement humidity.
• separately for lighting and sockets is recommended to install circuit breakers and RCD.If you suddenly have to repair the outlet, it can be done will be with the lights on.
• for viewing hole must be installed 12-volt lights (even only one).To do this, turn on the wiring diagram of a step-down transformer, which will be installed in a cabinet, where the circuit breaker.

• sure to carry out installation of the three-phase wiring in the garage."Antiquated" single phase can not stand.If, however, version with 220 you more suitable, select the correct cable size that he could withstand the current loads on the welding machine and other high-power devices.

To your attention visual scheme (without inspection pit):

With a viewing hole:

last option mounting, we more fully discussed in the article:wiring diagram in the garage!

It should be noted that it is best to create a scheme to use the construction plan (if available).In this document, drawings complied with all the exact measurements that would be convenient to create the correct project.

Calculation of

material After creating the schema, you need to move to the next phase - counting the number of materials.To start count the number of cables.Wiring in the garage will be both internal and external (from the pole to the meter), so the need to purchase materials for all types of work.For the installation of outdoor power lines is recommended to use copper wires, cross-section of at least 10 mm.kv.

Please note that the product is not desirable to use with aluminum conductors.Firstly, the larger cross-section need wires, and secondly, the aluminum is not as flexible, therefore exposed to mechanical damage more!

To properly calculate the cable cross-section is necessary to determine exactly which appliances will be installed indoors.The total capacity of all electrical appliances must be multiplied by a factor of "1.2" (power supply of 20%), based on which table to select the appropriate value.For outlets in the garage is recommended to use wires, cross-section of at least 4 mm.kv.Switches enough 1.5 mm.kv.

As for the length, it is required to take a margin, becauseconductor will be cut into pieces (from the outlet to the shield, from the switch to the lamp, etc.).At each connection is necessary to take stock of 10-15 cm (for wire connections between them).

Calculate exact number of sockets in the garage.They should be at least 2x.One Extension (in case of car repairs), and the second for stationary electrical appliance (for example, a compressor or welder).Switch will be two, one for viewing hole, the second for the main lighting.more switches can be added if necessary.

Special attention should be paid to lighting fixtures.Nowadays, popular LED and fluorescent fixtures.The first option is more economical and durable, but at the same time and more expensive.

If you will be mounting open wiring in the garage, you should also calculate the number of fasteners, the corrugations or cable channels.Wiring hidden way, we do not recommend, becauseit is more time consuming and unlikely to improve the interior of the premises.Once all the elements are calculated, go to the main process.

basic process

mounting in the garage wiring consists of three main stages:

• training;
• street gasket;
• internal wiring cable.

consider in detail each of the stages that you know how to do the wiring in the garage from A to Z on their own.

Preparations

Preparations are in cutting the cable preparation and the walls.Cutting is carried out taking into account the length of the stock (as we have said, at least 10 cm on each connection).Next the walls are marked according to the established pattern.To label can be used by a cord.Marking cord the most simple and effective.It is necessary to fix the cord at the starting point (as shown in the photograph below), then extend it to the next branch point or an end of wiring.Further, the cord stretched along the wall, led away and abruptly released.As a result of the wall must remain colored imprint, which will be marking.The main task - to pull the cord vertically (or horizontally) that would match the trail markings on the chart.To do this, you can use a plumb and level building.Also, there is an option to make a laser level with your hands, which will help to carry out a wiring layout of the walls in the garage.

After partitioning wall is necessary to prepare a wiring Stroebe (with an internal method of stacking).

Usually this option is used when installing wiring in a concrete garage with his hands.It should be noted that the line, you can also start up the technological aperture between the floor slabs, but not always such an option exists.

For shtrobleniya walls is recommended to use the disk grinders for concrete or punch.If this tool is not there at hand, a chisel and a hammer to help you.Stroebe depth should be no more than 2 cm, the thickness is selected in accordance with the conductor cross-section, but also no more than 2 cm. When the whole route will be presented Stroebe, you can move on.

draw your attention to the fact that in a brick garage wiring can be hidden in the seams between the rows (as shown in the picture), not to engage in the creation of cutting grooves!

Also in the preparatory work necessary to make the ground connection.

Street work

gasket external wiring is necessary to pass into the hands of a specialist electrician.To begin select the way to the outside of the cable laying.We recommend using the air method, becauseit is less costly and time-consuming.If the distance from the street to the post of the garage is greater than 25 meters, take care of the creation of the intermediate support in the yard.

By air wiring harness imposed some requirements:

• height above the roadway - not less than 6 meters;
• height above the pedestrian zone - not less than 3.75 meters;
• height entry to the premises - not less than 2.75 meters.

latter requirement could create some problems, becauseGarage construction is low, while power lines through the roof institution can form a lot of problems (difficulty of sealing the premises, a high risk of mechanical damage, etc.).

In this case, it is recommended to install near trubostoyku - steel tube, slightly curved at the top (as shown in the picture).

When wiring the underground garage to such complications do not arise.It is only necessary to dig a trench (from the central transmission line to the distribution box) and put it in an armored copper cable.The main foundation in advance to leave the inlet to enter inside.To protect the product from mechanical damage, it is recommended to place it in a special steel box, on top of which is placed an additional rubber band with the "Do not dig below the cable" inscription.Under the base line is necessary to protect the pipe, the diameter of which is twice the cross section wires.Outside pipe should extend no more than 5 cm

Lack underground wiring in the garage:. High cost of armored cable, as well as the volume of work.Despite the costs of such a method is more durable.

Laying indoors

internal wiring installation of the garage is not complicated.Consider the wiring pad flush and open-ended.

Hidden way to

When wiring hidden in the way you need to put Stroebe cable and secure it.For fixing using special plastic clips or metal staples.

recommend using antiquated method of fastening the cable with the help of plaster.The solution prihvatyvaet track every 25-30 cm.

After that, you must install the boxes, as well as plug sockets and switches.Next, the wires are connected, and carried out wiring continuity in the multimeter garage.Please note that the connection must be made only by means of terminal blocks.They are inexpensive and very reliable.If there are no problems and the wiring is divorced according to the rules, it is necessary to plaster the wall and wait until they are dry.

We strongly recommend that you take a picture of the wiring before finishing the walls.This will allow you to quickly find a place of passage faulty network site (although it is better to use a homemade metal detector).

outer method

If you have decided to hold the wiring in wooden or iron garage, the line is necessary to conduct open pit.It is much easier and more convenient, because when you want to connect the new outlet is not necessary to batter the wall of the installation box to the new "point".

open wiring usually runs in special channels.They do not spoil the appearance of the premises and are safe (when production of self-extinguishing material channels).You can use the mount on isolated supports, but in this case the aesthetic appearance of the room a little hurt, and descend safely.

That's the whole installation of wiring in the garage with his hands technology.Do not forget at the end of the work an electrician that he checked all.

As you can see, in the garage wiring process is time consuming, but is nothing supernatural, so it can become a virtue, even you, the novice electrician!You can also read the video, in which all kinds of works contributed more clearly:
