Wiring Regulations in a wooden house

Implementation Wiring in a wooden house with his own hands requires a serious and responsible approach.

This means that one can not just ignore the safety rules, but on the contrary, should comply strictly with them.

Keep in mind that wood is easily flammable materials and even minor inaccuracies during installation, can make it fire.

Wiring in a wooden house has its own characteristics, due to the specifics of exactly the material of which the building is constructed.

Among fire-related faults:

• short circuit;
• overload of the cable line and as a result, overheating.

To make things right, it is best to consult with professionals, and if this is not possible, then you need to carefully study the relevant technical manual or watch a video.

basic rules of installation works include the following stages:

• design - as a rule, electrical work is carried out on a pre-prepared scheme previously approved by the relevant authorities;
• training tools, materials and accessories;
• marking and laying of cable lines;
• install distribution boxes;
• installation: external wiring, hidden wiring, sockets and switches, lighting, shield, ground loop;
• check the quality of work.

How to make wiring project?

If you are not sure what you can do with your hands wiring project and calculate the exact amount of materials, then seek professional help.

At this stage it is very important technical literacy, as without the compliance of the draft regulations will be established and permits for its implementation.

As a rule, to create a harness design uses a building plan, which specifies the following parameters: layout of elektrotochek, method and place of the wiring pads.

In drafting their own hands wiring is recommended to take into account such rules:

• elektrotochki All schemes must be installed in accessible locations;
• All switches are recommended to have the same height, but not less than 1 m above the floor and on one side of the door, to the right of the entrance.It is impossible to switch is for furniture or home furnishings were closed.Therefore, experts advise to determine the arrangement of furniture and equipment;
• outlet location should be convenient to use without extension cords.According to regulations, the socket is set within a 40 cm height from the floor, but not less than 25 cm next to the metal structures installed outlet is prohibited, the minimum distance between them should be 50 cm.;
• cable is only in straight lines, either horizontally or vertically - at a distance of 15 cm from the ceiling, door and window openings and floor.Turning the power lines is possible only at a right angle;
• switchboard mounted at the height of the corridor is not lower than 1.5 meters, so that children can not reach it;
• Connection wires only through junction boxes.

After wiring project is ready, it is necessary to approve Gosenergonadzor.If the project is approved, an electrical connection will be possible within 5 days.

Preparation for installation work that will need

determine how many components you need for wiring your own hands can be very simple, focusing on the wiring diagram.

Typically, the tools for Wiring - screwdriver different types, configurations, and the diameter of the pliers, and a knife and a hammer voltage indicator.

handles all instruments should have protective and insulating coating.

Three-core electrical cable.For use in a wooden house used copper cable VVG mark.Figures

indicated generally after the letters indicate the brand of the cable, respectively, and a number of lived its cross section in the cable.

cable cross-section is calculated based on the total amount of power consumption.But if the cross section of the declared capacity does not suffice, the cable is placed in 2 line.

switchboard - in a wooden house is safest to use a metal switchboard.The size of the device depends on the number of cables to be connected thereto.

switches and sockets - the right amount is determined by the wiring diagram.

The choice of components necessary to focus on the type of wiring - when used hidden embedded switches and sockets.

And if the project provides retro wiring, then it will suit the type of hardware overlay.

For wooden houses, experts recommend pay attention to the components in "retro" style, with ceramic bases and pins of bronze or brass.

According to the regulations, in wooden houses wiring can not be hidden, it is forbidden.But special pipes can be used for external wiring cable.

Electric Meter - the best option - a device dvutarifnogo type.And junction boxes, screws, electrical tape.

wiring.How to start the installation?

To get a minimal understanding of the upcoming process, be sure to see a thematic video.

mount wiring in wooden houses with their own hands precedes cabling outside.

For this process use the methods of aerial and underground hidden wiring.After these works can proceed to the installation of open wiring.

Laying the main cable in a wooden house should be open as much as possible.

Therefore, to keep the interior aesthetics, experts use special cable ducts and skirting boards.

Although it seems that the wiring concealed access thereto is not difficult.To enter the building of the cable using a metal sleeve.

Prior to installation and subsequent work cable is pre-cut to a length which corresponds to the distance between elektrotochkami, but with a margin of 15 cm.

wire is then placed in the channels and fastened to the wall at the marked point, as indicated in the draft.This cable channels remain open so far.

Next set boxes.Their purpose - even distribution of cable in all the rooms in the building.

Therefore, distributors establish local branches in the main cable.

To connect the cable segments in distribution boxes with their hands used several ways, but the easiest and safest of them - a PPE caps.

They are made of plastic, not prone to burning.To do this, the cable ends are cleaned and screwed into PPE.

Depending on the total amount of twist the cores and their cross sections, caps are distinguished by color and number - the higher the number, the greater the number of wires can be connected with it.

even simpler way to connect the wires - the use of tape.

subsequent stages of installation work

To install the outlet in a wooden house is enough between the wall and the housing outlet to build the insulating layer on which to attach the top outlet.

If a three-wire cable, the connection wires are used.In the same way to set the switches and lamps.

very important for the security of further operation to mount the contacts were of high quality.

Installation of a switch and a counter made with regard to limit the power consumption of electric power.

final step - check the circuit and insulation resistance.To do this, use a Megger.

What decorative wiring?

Due to the fact that the wooden houses lining flush banned, many owners have resorted to laying wiring retro.

That is, instead of the famous hidden wiring set with his own hands the original decorative wiring in the once forgotten retro style.

classic retro wiring is twisted between a single-core wires are in the process of mounting attached to the insulator.

In modern versions of retro twisted wires are copper wires and silk outer shell impregnated with preservative.

This method of open wiring not only fully approved by the relevant authorities, but it is justified from the point of view of modern consumers.

Unlike concealed electric installation in "retro" style is held after work on the decoration.

for retro mounting their own hands quite used modern materials - special rollers made of plastic, which are set through the wiring pad every 50 cm

These small rollers and wires are attached retro..

With retro wiring own hands installation details can be found by looking video.v
