How to connect a grounded socket - the choice and installation of sockets

the mains outlet used to supply the majority of high-power devices.Computers, refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines, heating appliances (kettles, irons, heaters) - the operating instructions for all of these devices meets the item requiring users to apply for the electrical grounding outlet.Otherwise, the obligation will not be executed for warranty repair of equipment.

What grounded receptacle to choose?

in Russia used socket type F - earthing-pin with two round holes 4.8 mm diameter and earth in the form of protective plates or brackets.

Choice evrorozetok large enough.Sockets with protective curtain, a timer with a pusher, with current availability indicator, for rooms with high humidity - the choice depends on the conditions of future exploitation.Selecting the type of outlet depends on the wiring devices: for open use external (invoices) sockets for interior - built.

Mounting grounding outlet - internal wiring

Usually sockets installed at a height of about 30 cm from the floor.However, for ease of use and other outlets permitted their installation height (height in a kitchen installation sockets apron - 1 m).

Required tools and materials: the level, pencil, hammer (if necessary shtrobleniya), pliers, a sharp knife, Phillips and flat screwdrivers, pliers, plaster mortar for vmorazhivaniya.

Mounting Escutcheon

Enclosures of plastic is used for fixing the socket in the wall and usually has a diameter of 68 mm.There are two types By way of installation: for plasterboard and concrete.

Important!Before starting work, you must disconnect the room!

Wall plasterboard

Enclosures for plasterboard fixed with screws and plastic clips.When you install this Escutcheon is important to remember that the wires have to be stretched to the desired location before drywall installation.Using level and pencil, define the center of the future outlet and drill a circle of diameter 68 mm (an electric drill with a packed crown or regular drill, but vysverlivaya plurality of holes in a circle).

podrozetnik placed in the hole, pull the wire and twist the screws, fixing clamps.

Wall made of concrete (brick)

Enclosures for concrete were frozen in the holes prepared for them alabaster plaster or other compositions.

most optimal procedure when installing in concrete Escutcheon:

· Shtroblenie wall under wiring (use a hammer or grinders in the home) - Stroebe operate vertically or horizontally.The width and depth of Stroebe no more than 25 mm, length - no more than 3 m

· Shtroblenie hole Escutcheon (it should be free to enter the hole)..

· Installation and wiring vmorazhivanie (left to the free end of at least 10 cm).

· Installation Escutcheon and his institution to wire vmorazhivanie Escutcheon.

Important!When shtroblenie walls under the wiring should be guided SNIP 3.05.06-85.

mounting sockets

By mounting socket base start after the finishing work and act in the following order:

1. Stripping insulation from the wires coming from the Escutcheon (no more than 1 cm).
2. remove the cover from the base by unscrewing the central screw, and insert it into the slot podrozetnik and align horizontally.The planned opening for the side screws.

Take the base socket and fasten the wires to the terminals of the base.If only the incoming wire, it consists of three veins (yellow-green - ground, blue - "zero", the third wire can be any color - this "phase").The first ground is attached, then "zero" and the rest "phase."

If there is, and incoming and outgoing wires, the wires are attached in pairs.

· Lay wires in Enclosures and pressing the base socket screws tightening the clamps.

remains only to put the lid back on the socket base.A decorative frame is best installed after the finishing of the walls.

If you plan several outlets in a row, then do the work in a similar way.

Mounting grounding outlet - open posting

open wiring used in wooden houses or in rooms where shtroblenie consider inappropriate.

Stages of work:

· It is planned to place the establishment of the future outlet.

· run the wiring to the right place.

· screwed base sockets, wires give birth to it, and fix them as well, as is the case with the internal socket.

· Install the cover sockets, wiring removed in a protective box.

After all the work is checked properly connected sockets - fed electricity and measure the presence of a current indicator (if available).

If the theoretical part of the installation sockets with earthing understandable, but still uncertainty and indecision, it is best to entrust this work to a specialist.
