The owners are trying to create most modern living quarters with perfectly aligned walls, floors and ceilings without unnecessary protrusions, and all electrical communications are hidden inside building structures. This allows you to create a unique design, restricts access to electrical wiring, but complicates its inspection and maintenance.

The technology for installing hidden electrical wiring can be performed in various ways, which are constantly being improved with any method of building construction. For each particular case, choose the best option that meets two basic requirements: reliability and safe operation. The installation cost should also be taken into account, but it should not be considered at the time of wiring, but should be considered in conjunction with ensuring the possibility of a long, safe operation, excluding the occurrence ...

Among the types of laying electric wires inside residential premises, the method of their open location on building structures is the oldest, time-tested. Technically, this method of laying can be carried out: stationary fixing of wires, temporary placement of portable cables - extension cords.

Carrying is a backup method for short-term connection of individual electrical appliances. Constantly using them is not recommended. The currents of the loads completely pass through them, and the entire structure is subjected to periodic mechanical stress that can cause damage. Extension cables with portable cables require frequent inspections. Open wiring has three characteristic features at once: it is visible to any visitor and therefore it must be done beautifully, attractively, exposed to sunlight ...

When using modern materials for coating ceilings, original lighting effects and unusual appearance of rooms are created. But, at the same time, the volume of premises is slightly reduced due to the indentation of the decorative coating from the base building surface with power supporting elements, on which chandeliers and other lamps were previously fixed.

Suspension and especially tension structures do not in themselves have high strength, are not able to withstand the created static load from the weight of ordinary and heavy chandeliers. They are made to work without third-party efforts. Therefore, to fix the fixtures, one of two methods is used: mount an elongated mounting hook on the base ceiling, on which it will be possible to hang the chandelier after installing the stretch fabric, make mounting adapters with a thickness equal to the gap between the building base surface ...

Traditionally, the wiring in residential and industrial premises is carried out in an open or hidden way inside building elements. The use of special plastic boxes allows you to increase electrical safety and improve the design of rooms with open wiring. They are always made with a flat base, which is intended for fastening to a flat surface of a building structure.

In order for the final work to be distinguished by an aesthetic appearance, to allow reliable operation of electricity and to be carried out with a minimum cost, four simple rules must be consistently followed: to think through the progress of its implementation and realize the plan on paper, to purchase the necessary number of components and tools, selecting them for specific specifications laying highways in the premises, apply line routes to building structures ...

Industrial and residential wiring is carried out in one of two ways of laying: hidden inside wall structures and outdoor installation. Under each of these types, junction boxes, sockets and switches are also available, which are also called electrical points or network connection nodes.

During their installation, many home masters focus on the design of the room and ease of use. However, it is worth considering such requirements for electrical characteristics as: reliable contact joints providing high-quality electric power transmission with minimal voltage losses, durable electrical insulation of current-carrying conductors and structural elements that are under network potential, operation safety, including ease of operation, access restrictions, fire protection. In the old Soviet-built houses inside the walls created emptiness channels and outlet openings ...

We have known the lighting of apartments with the help of chandeliers from childhood. Such lamps are quite easy to connect and work for a long time even with certain installation errors. However, if individual violations of installation technology do not affect operability, they can lead to electrical injury to the owner when in contact with metal parts of the case or when replacing a burnt out foot.

To avoid the typical mistakes made by home craftsmen, read the contents of the article and compare its recommendations with the circuit for switching on your fixtures. Always assemble the wiring so that the phase comes to the remote contact of the cartridge, and zero to the near contact. This technique will save you from electric shock to someone who will replace the light bulb in the chandelier when the voltage is applied to it and accidentally touch the nearest live part ...

In the work of any electrical circuit, attention is always paid to its stability and installation quality. Lighting systems, especially those located above the head, must be securely fixed in the power elements of the building and held in them under the influence of loads of various kinds. The most common methods of installing fixtures on the ceiling can be conditionally divided by use: at industrial, industrial facilities, in residential premises.

In laboratories, workshops, workshops, light should evenly illuminate the entire workspace. For this, large-sized fluorescent lamps are often used, which are distributed in rows at a certain height. The method of attachment may be different. Single devices are more convenient to fix directly to the ceiling surface. However, the great height and the need to place a large number of such light sources ...

A home foreman, planning to repair an electrician in his apartment or complete its laying in a house under construction, must first think carefully about the technology of the upcoming work and the sequence of its stages, including marking the wiring. Otherwise, as practice shows, serious errors arise that require the investment of additional funds and time.

If we turn to the clarification of the verb "mark" the explanatory dictionary of the Russian language, then he explains it as a measurement, marking, designation of the size of something.

With regard to electrical wiring, as well as any technical systems, this means that for marking it is necessary to have: an object - a house or apartment building, in which it will be necessary to lay electrical wires, the owner’s plan embodied in the work project. In other words, the markup process means transferring ...
