Features kitchen hood connection to the mains

Connecting train

Typically, power kitchen hood does not exceed 500 watts, so if there are no sockets, it is best to connect train.Make it quite simple - installing a new outlet near the unit and from the nearest output the jumpers as shown in the diagram:

can use copper wire, 1.5 mm2 for loop.If you do not want to Stroebe walls for cable with your hands, be sure to hold the open wiring in the cable channel.To date, there are neat cable boxes that do not spoil the interior of the kitchen and at the same time help solve the problem.

For residents of old apartments there is an easier way to pass the cable from one outlet to another, in this case, not much disturbing the finish of the walls.To get to this method, you can, looking at two visual video example below:

draw your attention to the fact that in a connected trainoutlet can not connect any high-power devices, only the very hood.Otherwise, overload may occur, and if the line is not protected by the circuit breaker, the housing outlet may melt, causing a short circuit.Be very careful if you decide to connect the appliance to the electricity in this way.

Replacing outlet

second idea that will solve the problem - the replacement of a single outlet on the double.If you can not connect the hood to the kitchen because the nearest connection point is always busy, we are sure to change it to a double, as shown in the photo below.This connection method is a compromise, but keep in mind - that the electrical wiring in the kitchen should be designed for a new load (instead of one appliance is connected for two to a single point).

Carrying out the new line

And the surest way - on their own to connect the hood to the kitchen to electricity from the junction box.Of course, it should be considered only in case if you do repairs in the house and are already thinking of connecting the cooker hood.All that you need - from the intermediate box display line and navigate to the location where you want to position the outlet.Here I would like to make a recommendation - it is best to have it on the hood (as shown in the diagram below), the fat does not pollute the body attachment point.

That's the whole connection guidance.As you can see, there are several alternative ways to solve the problem and one of the provided certainly should approach.If you have questions and you still do not know how to connect the hood to the kitchen to electricity, we are sure to describe your situation in the comments!
