Residential Electrical Wiring

Introduction

The person, who decides to build a private house, should understand that during construction it will face many challenges, not only material but also the technical plan. And regardless of whether it is building a house with his own hands, or are hired for the construction professionals, owners need to know (at least in general terms) technology proper implementation of any construction work.

One of these challenges faced by any new owner of a private house - its energy structure. Often, even the most simple question about the electrical builder plunges into a state of mild panic, although the general principles of arrangement of the wiring in a private home is not so complicated.

As the theater begins with a hanger, and the wiring of a private house starts from the "pillar" - the nearest to the house supports the power line. It was there that connects the cable opening, which will be powered on all the outlets and lights in the house. How to connect this cable - it depends on many factors, but the main - two: the total capacity planned for use in home appliances and the availability of these devices that require three-phase network (powerful electric motors, for example, or an electric boiler) (Mullin, pp. 78).

In any case, given the state of most of our electricity networks, rely on the use of the total power load greater than 35-40 kW, it is not necessary. However, in a private home "medium swing" rarely dialed even 25 kW. The cable connection is only used for aluminum. Cross-sectional area of ??his living depends on the planned load of 10 ("pull" 13 kW), 16 (16 kW) or 25 (23 kW) mm2, the use of larger cross-section simply unprofitable. For three-phase wiring and the same cross-section cable permissible power is increased 1.75 ...
