How to create a wiring diagram in a private house with his own hands

In terms of circuitry, such wiring in a private home is not much different from the usual city apartment wiring.The only difference is that in the building there will be several floors, and it must be considered.Plus the connection from various "sources.If the apartment is connected to the power supply from the board, which is located in the entrance of the house, the cottage is connected from pillar power lines or power cable from a local transformer.The principle of "wiring" inside the home remains the same.

Organizational issues when you connect to the home network

Before proceeding directly to the electrical installation work should decide on organizational matters:

1. necessary to accurately determine the number of "consumers" of electricity.These include sockets and lighting fixtures.You also need to take into account all the mechanisms, assemblies, which require individual connection, rather than a "powering" from the wall outlet.It is calculated separately for each room.And it is necessary to take into account the fact that if today of household appliances in the kitchen is only one refrigerator, tomorrow they may stand there for two.Then, perhaps, you want to buy, and a food processor.In other words, it is necessary to take into account the prospect.It is necessary to pre-select a location for the switch, so they were easy to use;
2. necessary to determine in advance the location of the devices in the rooms.Where would be the TV, where - the aquarium lighting, public places will hang chandeliers and sconces.It is necessary to take into account the need for lighting outside the home: porch, courtyard.You may need to install the outer outlet (can be useful);
3. After this a diagram of the entire private house wiring and calculates the necessary materials and the amounts thereof.The scheme is absolutely necessary.Firstly, it is a guarantee that nothing will be missed during the installation work.Secondly, not all people have a phenomenal memory, and something will be forgotten over time.Thirdly, the scheme will always help in the search for the fault in the power supply, especially if at that time there will be no "author" and "artist" electrical work.

should know that the external electrical connection produces a specialized organization, which provides power supply of the neighborhood.In agreement with the owner of the house, its representatives placed in the desired location center Machine (switch), "protection" and electric meter.All other work can produce a property owner.He is responsible for the rest of "network", the correctness of its gaskets and safety (both electric and fire).Incidentally, this is an opportunity to consult on intrahouse wiring (if there is ambiguity).

Two groups

wiring layout is usually made separately.All consumers can be divided into two main groups: lighting fixtures and sockets, so the wiring in every room consists of two "parts".One feeds all the sockets, the other - all the fixtures.Firstly, the load will be different, hence the wire used is different.Secondly, if there is a fault, and will not burn the chandelier, it is possible to illuminate the room by a table lamp, for example.And so to look for faults easier.

«RULES" allow the gasket in the house as the hidden and open wiring.Choosing it depends on the type of stone or brick house.But in practice, and apply one another.The central machine via a cable connected to the junction box in the house, in which the opening set, and several automatic machines, through which the voltage supply to consumers.It is understood that the central machine may be energized some introduction: in the house and outbuildings.

If the house several floors, each floor should be connected separately.For ease of calculation and optimization of the cost of materials are best to connect each room independently.Thus, in one room - two machines: on the outlet and the lighting.And if in the same room a short circuit, it will not affect the other rooms.Although the schemes are different: if the house is small, it is enough, and the two lines.One - on all sockets, the other - all the fixtures.When calculating the wire size should be calculated to increase the number of no less than one third (safety margin).

Given that all appliances are now made on European standards, there should be a good circuit and grounding.This is - a separate conversation, but on the circuit should not be forgotten in the preparation of the scheme.And yet, you need to know that all the wires are laid only or horizontally, or vertically.No bends, diagonally unacceptable, so do not try this way to try to "save" the cable - nothing good will come of them.
